Ryan posts just 67 in Fremantle's comfortable 15-point home win over Hawthorn — 32 below his 99 average in a game where padding was available. After 119 last round this is a soft performance that doesn't fit the pattern. Still above his 73 BE, and the premium DEF case hasn't broken, but watch for an explanation before R10. Hold for now — one anomalous score in a winning team doesn't change a premium DEF lock.
