Two consecutive 68-69s from Robey confirms this is not a fluke — he has staked out a real midfield role at Essendon. The 68 away at GWS in a 14-point loss is an earned score, not padding. At $209.1k with a 31 BE and $2,080/week cash gen, the runway is long. Hold with conviction if you own him; still a buy if you do not — the role is locked and the machine is running.
