Laurie bounced back with 85 in Melbourne's 39-point thumping of Hawthorn — his best score since debuting and well above his 33 BE. Cash gen has jumped to +$5,133/wk, pushing him from $200k to $227.7k. At 19 games the rookie clock has ticked out but the price is still moving. Hold one more week to extract the final price tick, then trade out on the next score above BE.
