Walsh posted 94 in Carlton's tight 11-point away loss to Brisbane at the Gabba — a genuine score in a real contest, and a clean bounce back from the R8 71 in the 39-point capitulation to St Kilda. Averaging 104 at $509.3k with a 75 BE, the premium thesis is intact. Cash gen slightly negative at -$1,441/wk but that is just the price finding fair value, not a structural problem. Hold and loop — 94 in an away loss in a genuine contest is exactly what you want from a 140-game premium mid.
