— HOLD

Ainsworth posted 73 in a tight 12-point home win over the Bulldogs — above his 54 BE again and cash gen running at +$1,484/wk. He's been recognised internally at Carlton as one of the form forwards of the last month. Three of his last four scores have been 73 or above (109, 87, 73 — ignoring the 38 outlier) in competitive football. The cash cow is still producing. Hold.
