Ballard scraped 35 in GCFC's 9-point win over ESS at Carrara — barely above his 31 BE and well below the 48 he posted in R5. At $220.7k with a 31 BE there is still cash generation margin but the output is underwhelming for a 142-game veteran. Was a buy after R5 but this score tempers enthusiasm. Hold if you picked him up last week; do not buy at this form.
