Trainor returns from three rounds out of the side — dropped after his 17 in R5 — and posts 78 in Richmond's 37-point home loss to Adelaide. Above his 76 average and well above his 43 BE but in a team capitulating badly. Cash gen is only $310/rd and he's at $291.2k with 27 games. Watch the R10 team sheet — if he holds his spot after a heavy loss, then the cash cow window reopens. Don't move yet.
