Collins posted 85 in Gold Coast's 29-point win over St Kilda at Marrara Oval — four consecutive BE-clearing scores (79, 85, 74, 85) for the first time all season. That is the exact trigger the watch call was waiting for. The inconsistency that defined the first half of 2026 looks genuinely resolved and the DEF role at Gold Coast is settled. Cash gen is essentially flat at -$192/wk so you are buying the scoring output, not a price rise. Buy — four in a row tips this firmly from watch to hold-and-buy-if-you-don't-have-him.
