McGrath posted 89 in Essendon's 43-point home belting by Fremantle — a premium-against-the-grain performance, exactly what he showed in R7 with 94 in a 77-point loss. The pattern is locked: 53 (blip), 109, 94, 70, 89 in recent rounds, and the 88.5 average at $391.3k with a 57 BE is genuinely elite MID/DEF value. Cash gen is marginal negative at -$2,981/week but that's rounding error at this price. Hold him with full conviction — he's the kind of premium who scores through team disasters, and they don't come along often at $391k.
