El Hawli scores 63 in a 64-point Essendon hammering by Brisbane — the margin is brutal, but 63 beats his 42 BE by 21 points and he's still generating $2,858/wk from a $289.4k base. At 16 games he's in the rookie cash cow sweet spot: cheap, playing, generating. Three straight scorelines of 88, 61, 63 show he's found his feet in Essendon's back six despite the team's chaos. Hold — the cash is still flowing, don't trade a working cash cow mid-cycle.
