Phillipou posted 82 in a 36-point home blowout of Richmond — the margin softens the ceiling read but 82 is 82, and it clears his 49 BE by 33. Cash gen is humming at $6,568/round and his trajectory from entry to $332.6k is the genuine cash cow story of this season. He is outscoring most onfield players from the bench role, confirming the role is locked and the volume is real. Hold with conviction and let the price climb.
