— HOLD

Sellwood delivered 69 in a 2-point away win at Adelaide Oval — a genuine contest performance in the most pressure-cooker game of the round. Cash gen is still running at $7,229 per round with a 43 BE, and he's earned his spot in WB's backline through grit and consistency. He's toughening up every week and the cash hasn't dried up yet. Hold if owned, still buyable if you need a generating DEF.
