Butts returned from his multi-week absence and posted 45 in Adelaide's 68-point thrashing of North Melbourne — cleared his 38 BE by 7 points on return, which is solid enough. Cash gen is a modest +$1,100/wk. The R8 verdict was to sell ahead of a 3-week absence; anyone who followed that call is watching from the outside. At $256.9k averaging 45, the role looks intact but the Crows had the game wrapped early, so limited context. Watch — if you somehow still have him, hold for one more round to confirm the role is locked back in before making a call.
