— HOLD

Tholstrup delivered 90 in Melbourne's 32-point demolition of West Coast — well above his 51 BE and keeping cash gen strong at $8,245/wk. The blowout context softens the number slightly but a 90 in any game at this price point is exactly what you want. His R8 dominance against Carlton's best defender confirmed his ceiling is real. Cash gen is the best in this batch. Hold with conviction through the byes.
