Blamires put up 60 in a tight 8-point loss to Sydney at Docklands — above his 43 BE and cash gen is still running at an elite $10.3k per week. But this is his third week back after an omission, and North Melbourne selection instability means another axing is always one bad quarter away. The cash gen is real but the selection lottery is not worth riding. Sell and lock in the profit — do not let another omission decision get made for you.

Multiple commenters confirm Blamires named to play this week (in for Wardlaw with illness). Community lean: hold at least one more week — "100% keep at least this week", lower BE than Jaques, useful DPP status.
