Laird posted 105 in Adelaide's 37-point away romp at Richmond — his best score of the season and 40 points above his 65 BE. The form arc since R6 reads 100, 88, 60 (1-point thriller), 105. The R8 sell call was wrong — the tight-game context explained that dip and he has answered emphatically. At $442.3k with elite scoring back on the table, hold with conviction. Cash gen is still negative at -$5,835/wk as the price drifts down from $559k highs, but a fit Laird scoring 100-plus is not a trade target.
