Rowell bounced back with 98 in a comfortable 25-point home win over Port Adelaide, clearing his 78 BE by 20 — the R7 sell triggered by a 49 in a blowout loss has been answered. His average has climbed to 86.3, now sitting above breakeven. Cash gen remains negative at -$5,129/round so the price drift continues, but a premium MID scoring above BE is not a selling scenario. Hold — if you traded him after R7 you missed the bounce, but current owners have no reason to exit.
