Will Day was again absent in R3, remaining sidelined at $482.2k with a 71 BE and still no average on the board. That price tag demands premium output in a Hawthorn midfield that's crowded with options, and until he's confirmed fit and in the best 22 there's too much risk for too little certainty. Avoid at this price point.
