I will take 6 goals from 12 kicks any day.Will never kick 6 goals from 6 kicks ever again it's a miracle it happened once
I will take 6 goals from 12 kicks any day.
2 from 20 would be progress for butch at the momentI will take 6 goals from 12 kicks any day.
I think his form drop off just comes from mentally thinking that no matter what he does he won't get picked anyway. Previous years he has been dropped and then no matter what he's done not been able to get back in. Take last year for example, started roughly the same way as this year and then when he kept kicking goals and we needed a KPF he was overlooked in round after round for the likes of Sam Gray. You can almost see it in his face, gets dropped and he knows even if he kicks 50 goals by mid season in the SANFL no one is going to give him a go anyway.

He kicked 4 the next week and played a ripper against the bombers under the roof.If he kicked 1 or 2 goals in that game, I think not as much pressure would have been put on him and he'd be a better player right now.

The history of the game is littered with blokes that played good games in their first handful or so then went to fertilizer soon after not sure why we keep bringing his early games up.
I understand that, but of the 131 pages, the Bulldogs video has been posted dozens of times. It's almost as if people think he needs to play like that every week or he's a bust. Kicking too many goals early in his career caused a boatload of pressure on himself and he can't handle it.
That is where the interest, even fascination, lies. I was in Melbourne for the Essendon game in 2011. It was a game where the umpires slammed us in the final quarter to let Essendon squeak home but where it seemed Butch was winning it for us off his own boot until then. It amazes me he only scored 4 goals, he must have set up a few more for others because I remember how exciting he was..... not sure why we keep bringing his early games up.
the issue was us back then, he always was a forward, not sure why we tried to turn anyone who had a skilled right foot into a seagull defender.Salter was a victim of the old SANFL structure.
When he wasn't injured, We were trying to turn him into a defender, the WWT coach played him forward. No progression was being made so we cut him loose.
In the current structure we could have thrown him back and forward whenever we want and he could have been versatile utility like Westhoff.
