Zorko posted 86 in Brisbane's 11-point home win over Carlton, clearing his 67 BE, but there are credible post-match reports he was managing soreness and was close to a late out. Cash gen is bleeding at -$4k/wk as his price slips from a $486k R8 peak. He's been through one injury interruption already this season. Watch R10 selection closely — if there's any doubt about his availability, trade him before he becomes a zero that collapses your DEF.
