Smith posted 79 in Carlton's 12-point home win over the Bulldogs — 26 above his 53 BE and cash gen has recovered to $9,512/wk after the mid-season plateau. Two rounds of legitimate scoring (104, 79) has reversed the sell narrative that was right from R5-R8. At 6 games he's still generating meaningful cash. The exit window has closed; hold with conviction through his remaining cash gen cycle before the price peaks.
