Lester was the best player on the ground in Brisbane's 11-point win over Carlton — 123 in a genuine contest is not a blowout artifact, it's a statement. He won the R9 fan B&F by a landslide and is now consecutive-monstering after 105 in R8's blowout. Cash gen has flipped positive at +$2,450/round. The hold verdict has been superseded — buy Lester immediately if you don't own him.
