LDU managed 90 in a 68-point road demolition at Adelaide Oval — that's above his 81 BE and creditable when the team was smashed across the board. The 131 in R9 against Sydney is the true form reference; this is a context-suppressed score, not a regression. He's the elite mid he's been all season — coaches vote leader at North, step unguardable. Hold with conviction and captain him freely when North play a competitive arm-wrestle.
