Chol's 12-point R5 outing is a disaster — almost certainly a sub or minimal-TOG situation. With cash gen at -$2,150 and a second consecutive concern after his R3 omission, his role at Hawthorn is clearly unstable. At $329.4k and 0.434% ownership, don't hold faith; this cash cow has soured — fade or sell immediately.

Mabior Chol missed two very gettable set shots in the tight R4 Hawks vs Cats win. Community debate: some say it is a confidence/mental issue rather than skill given his 61.8% accuracy in 2025. Concern is kicking accuracy under fatigue is a structural issue requiring targeted training.
