Heath posted 88 in Melbourne's 32-point home win over West Coast — his third consecutive strong score (78, 75, 88) after the 24 disaster in R6. He is smashing his 40 BE and generating $3,640/wk at $269.8k. The 50/50 ruck split concern has been the headline all month, but his scores are not reflecting a restricted role — three straight 75-plus outputs says the cash cow is live. Buy before the price closes. At 7 games you are getting him with real cash gen runway still ahead.

Melbourne reportedly doing a 50/50 ruck split between Max Heath and Max Gawn, reducing Heath's SC value due to shared minutes.

Breakout Signal· T3

Max Heath was dominant in ruck in the VFL practice game against Essendon. Seen as a genuine ruck option for Melbourne when Gawn needs rest. Community excited about the depth in the ruck.

Role Change· T3

Heath has been dominating in the VFL recently and could be recalled to play alongside Gawn, which would reduce Gawn's scoring output and SuperCoach value.
