Butler posted 62 in a 15-point loss to Fremantle at Perth Stadium — comfortably above his 36 BE and his best score this season. Then Hawthorn dropped him for Round 10, bringing in Morrison and Maginness ahead of him. Scoring 62 and still getting omitted is a brutal job security signal. Trade him out this week while his price holds at $244.8k; he has no guaranteed path back.
