Cross blew past his 20 BE with a 72 in R9 — that is 52 above breakeven at just $136.6k. After the R3 injury and a quiet 37 on return in R8, this is the score that confirms he is in Melbourne's plans and capable of generating serious cash. The value score of 0.395 is elite for his price range. Melbourne forward logjam has burned coaches before, but two consecutive games and a 72 this week makes him a buy. Get him in now while the price is still basement.
