— HOLD

Ainsworth delivered 85 in Carlton's 5-point away win over Essendon — 37 above his 48 BE in a genuine arm-wrestle. His 72.7 average at $368k is fair forward pricing. Cash gen slightly negative at -$164/wk but the scoring output in a close game is what matters. Two straight holds (R12, R10). Hold — the premium forward thesis is intact.
