Reeves posted 31 in a 15-point away loss at Perth Stadium — not garbage time, a competitive game Hawthorn lost 73-88. A 31 against a 46 BE is disastrous, and it mirrors the 35 he posted in R7. The pattern is undeniable: massive ceiling (87 R8, 85 R6) interrupted by horror floors (31 R9, 35 R7). At $313.7k averaging 84.5, the value is technically there when he fires, but the reliability is gone. Sell — two sub-35 games this season is too many for a ruck at this price point. Don't wait for another R8-style bounce.
