James Rowbottom registered no clearances at all last week in the close win over the Bulldogs, after a run of games averaging about four per appearance. It was the re-emergence of Errol Gulden from long-term injury that caused this, with Gulden taking many of his centre rotations while he played more of a forward defensive role. Perhaps this was partially due to coach Dean Cox addressing the particular strengths of the Bulldogs, with Bailey Dale getting more oppo analyst attention in recent weeks after posting 50 touches in one recent win. Rowbottom's stocks are lower, regardless.
