Hustwaite returned to haunt coaches with 59 in HAW's 39-point thumping at the MCG — clears his 29 BE but that's where the good news ends. He's rated as not AFL-ready right now: a step slow, 6 direct turnovers, and the consensus is he's out of the best 22. He only returned because of injury coverage and Conor Nash's return spells the end of his stint. Cash gen is flat at $0. Avoid and do not pick him up — the door is closing fast.
