Hardwick posted 58 at Perth Stadium in a 15-point road win over Fremantle — 2 below his 60 BE in a genuine contested away game. That's two soft weeks in a row (scored exactly on BE in R8's draw, now 2 below). The 86.5 average and premium DEF status aren't in question, but the scoring engine has gone quiet. Hold firmly — premium DEFs don't get sold on two below-average rounds — but don't add new at $407.5k until the output ticks back up.
