Perez scored 55 in R6 as Hawthorn scraped home by 3 over Port Adelaide — he's cleared the 15 BE again but cash gen has stalled at $0. The red flag is R7: he's listed as emergency, with community split on whether to trade him in and one explicit 'don't trade in Perez' event from a T3 source. Two games of clearing his BE is good, but job security remains fragile at 16% ownership.
