McCreery posted 77 in Collingwood's 8-point home loss to Melbourne — 30 above his 47 BE in a genuine contest. His 57.3 average at $327k is reasonable forward value and cash gen has turned positive at +$267/wk. Two straight holds (R12, R10) and the scoring is trending up. Hold with conviction — the role is locked and the price is fair.
