Caddy scored 74 in a 14-point away loss at GWS — a competitive road game, and 27 above his 47 BE is a solid return in a tight contest. Three consecutive above-BE games (76 R7, 94 R8, 74 R9) confirm he's found a reliable role in the Essendon forward line after the injury-disrupted start. At $319.1k with a 47 BE he's generating cash and the trend is up. Hold with conviction — the R6 avoid looks well in the rearview mirror.
