Ash delivered 99 in the same 17-point road loss to West Coast — comfortably above his 75 BE and a genuine performance in a losing GWS side at Perth Stadium. His midfield role (61% CBA earlier in the year) has not killed his output; two straight above-BE games confirms that. Cash gen is negative at -$2,864/wk meaning the price is sliding, which actually creates a buying window at $511k for a DEF averaging 99. Bring him in — the sell side has not materialised and the form is consistent.
