Anderson detonated for 146 in a 29-point home win over St Kilda at Marrara — 44 points above his 102 average and his biggest score of the season by a distance. This does not wipe out the season narrative of poor positioning and declining intensity, but you cannot trade a 146 out this week. Cash gen remains negative at -$5k/rd and the price has bled from $619k to $500k, so the structural problems have not disappeared. Hold for at least one more round after a score like this — the exit trade can wait. Watch whether this was a genuine reset or a single-round outlier.
