Worner erupted for 115 in R10 against Essendon — 58 above his 57 BE and his best score since the standout 98 in R8. He picked up coaches votes again and has been excellent across his last five matches. Cash gen positive at $3,314/wk, role in Freo's backline as settled as it gets. At $385.7k he is still generating cash at a premium rate. Hold with conviction; if you don't own him, buy before the price catches up.
