Borlase put up 77 in Adelaide's 68-point blowout over North Melbourne — some inflation applies but he still clears his 38 BE by 39 points. Cash gen is running at +$3,752/week and he has locked down the Adelaide key DEF spot ahead of Murray, whose post-knee-injury form dip has opened the door. At $256.3k averaging 72, this is a cash cow producing exactly what you need. Hold with conviction — the role is locked and the cash gen is real.
