Sicily posted 114 in a 39-point away loss to Melbourne at the MCG — the team got rolled but he kept delivering, sitting 44 clear of his 70 BE and pushing his average above 100. Cash gen is nearly flat at -$300/week, but at $475.7k averaging 102 he is one of the most reliable premium DEFs in the competition. Three of his last four scores have been 100+. Hold with conviction — do not overthink this one.
