◉ WATCH

West has now played 2 AFL games this season and posted 22 in a tight 6-point loss to Sydney at the SCG — above his 18 BE in a genuine contest. The community is calling for him to stay in the side permanently based on his competitiveness and goal scoring. At $119.9k with an 18 BE, the floor is so low that even modest output generates cash. Watch — the selection question is not yet resolved but the early noise is positive enough to monitor. Do not buy until he strings back-to-back games in the side.

Community Intel· T3

Multiple community threads push for Charlie West to be given AFL debut. "Surely we give West a run at this point" (match thread). He was VFL-listed heading into R6 and commenters hope he gets through unscathed to push for selection.
