Carroll posted 50 in a competitive 11-point loss to Brisbane at the Gabba — above his 46 BE in a tough away environment where Carlton scored 89. Not a standout score but it is the third consecutive above-BE game since the R6 breakout (79, 67, 48, 50). The winger role remains locked, cash gen is grinding at $1,015/rd, and at $312.5k with a 72 average he remains good value. Hold without stress — this is a player doing exactly what you bought him for: ticking above BE every week and banking price increases.
