Wicks posted 69 in Sydney's tight 8-point away win over North Melbourne at Docklands — a step down from his season-best 88 last round but still 17 above his 52 BE in a legitimate contest. Cash gen is positive at +$1,996/wk and the backline role is locked in. The dip from 88 to 69 is not a concern — one below-average score after a career-best round is normal variance. Hold — the role is set, the scoring is consistently above BE, and the price is moving in the right direction.
