77 above a 54 BE in a competitive 12-point Carlton win shows the form is real — and the shift to a higher, more natural wing role with Billy Wilson pushing him out of the backline is the genuine unlock his best-game-at-Carlton tag suggests. But the ledger is what it is: cash gen is still -$1,492/rd and price has bled since peak. At $369.7k with the role change only just registering, hold this week — the wing usage needs two more rounds of data before you can call the floor stable. Do not sell into what might be a turning point.
