Ryan backs up his R9 debut with 59 in a 39-point blowout loss to Melbourne — double his debut score, and well clear of his 18 BE. Back-to-back selections is the threshold, and he's hit it. The concern is that HAW lost by 39 and garbage time inflates everyone's numbers; the role depth at Hawthorn with returning players adds real omission risk. Watch for a third game — the scoring trend is encouraging but the job security question isn't resolved yet.
