Howes delivered 95 at home against a soft West Coast lineup in a 32-point Melbourne win — biggest score of the season, 47 above his 48 BE. He's now strung four consecutive above-BE rounds together (64, 60, 80, 95) and the trajectory is clearly up. At $325.4k with $2,785/wk cash gen, the value is still there. Buy now — the consistency is proven and the price will keep moving.
