◉ WATCH

Trainor bounced back with 64 in Richmond's 114-point road demolition at the SCG — 29 points above his 35 BE and a clear rebound from the R10 disaster of 21 that triggered the sell call. The problem: this was a blowout of epic proportions (56-170) where individual scores need a garbage-time discount, and Trainor at 27 games with cash gen bleeding at -$1,926/week is no longer a cash cow. At $240.7k the price is near the floor, and 64 versus BE of 35 is technically a strong clearance, but one score in a 114-point defeat doesn't fix the selection-anxiety pattern that has him bouncing between the seniors and the VFL. Watch — the price floor may be set but the role is not secure enough to buy into, and the cash cow thesis expired weeks ago.
