Busslinger posted 56 in a 12-point away loss to Carlton — a tight arm-wrestle with no garbage time, and he cleared his 41 BE again. Cash gen is still running at +$3,176/wk. But the sell call stands: Lobb is returning and Beveridge won't carry a rookie when his best ruckman comes back. He's gone from $215k to $281k — great cash gen, great work, time to pull the trigger. Sell before the selection drops.

Busslinger is scoring well while in the team but his 95-point outing from low disposals is seen as unsustainable. If he keeps getting game time his scoring should hold, but price stall is expected once breakeven catches up.
