West posted 36 in Collingwood's 10-point home win over West Coast at the MCG — doubling his 18 BE in a genuine competitive game and locking in his third consecutive AFL selection. He has held his spot ahead of Buller and is showing surprising athleticism and competitiveness for a big forward. At $119.9k with an 18 BE, every game he plays is cash. Buy — the selection question is answered, back him now before the price moves.
