Ison delivered 75 on AFL debut in Carlton's 12-point home win over the Bulldogs during Indigenous Round — 58 above his 17 BE at $113.5k. He scored a goal, impressed Carlton fans watching closely, and the intel is that he'll hold his spot for the coming weeks. The mixed signal of a vest-risk flag exists but the weight of evidence from his debut performance and team environment points the other way. Buy him immediately — at minimum price with a 17 BE, the cash gen upside from here is enormous.
