Cook scores 70 in a 68-point Adelaide demolition of North Melbourne — clears his 56 BE and cash gen remains strongly positive at $10,757/wk, still one of the best generating forwards in the competition. The sell thesis has been right in theory for three rounds but the numbers keep proving it wrong in practice. At $384.6k for a 41-game player, the price ceiling is genuinely close and the Rankine return threat on role is real. Sell this week — the cash gen window will close, and three rounds of missed exit opportunities is enough.
