Burton scored 32 in Richmond's 37-point home capitulation against Adelaide — a dip from his 64 debut and a result framed entirely by the scoreboard. When your team loses by 37 at home you do not get clean ball. The 32 still clears his 19 BE and cash gen remains positive at $1,768/week, so the machine has not stalled. Vest risk chatter is real but unconfirmed. Hold — do not panic-trade a cash cow on one soft team-context score.
