Jaques exploded for 97 in the Bulldogs' tight 4-point home win over Collingwood at Docklands — a stunning 61 points above his 36 BE and a complete reversal from the run of 69 and 34 that had the community selling hard. At $245k with cash gen pumping at $4,633/week, this is the kind of spike that rejuvenates a rookie cash cow. The Bulldogs needed every contribution in a genuine arm-wrestle and Jaques delivered the best score of his season by 28 points. One massive score doesn't completely erase the prior inconsistency, but the cash generation trajectory is now undeniable. Buy — this is the spike that turns a cellar-dweller into a genuine cash generator.
