— HOLD

Keays posted 73 in Adelaide's 1-point thriller over Geelong at Adelaide Oval — 19 above his 54 BE in the highest-pressure game of the round. Two prior buy calls (R10, R9) are consolidating; the 58 average at $360k is a touch rich but the scoring in a genuine contest confirms the role. Cash gen is aggressively negative at -$3,620/wk. Hold — the buy thesis has played out, now consolidate.
