Grlj posted 34 against West Coast away in Richmond's 11-point win — well below his 74 average but still clearing his 25 BE, so the cash gen hasn't stopped. At 6 games and $302k he's deep into his cash cow cycle and the sub-par outing in a comfortable win raises the question of whether midfield minutes contracted back. Hold one more week; if he doesn't bounce back above his average, trade him into an upgrade — the window to maximise his value is narrowing.
