Player Watch Pick #12 (2018) - Zak Butters

[Frank Hansen II]

His mark in front of Dixon today looked good.

 

[GoTheMightyCrows]

He'll bite hit tongue off one day.

Guys looking like becoming seriously good . By all reports he’s attacking pre season , reckon the lad was born to play footy

He is really talented we know, but its his attitude & mental approach that is so great & sets him apart from other good players ... He certainly has the potential to be great if his career keeps following this trajectory.

What brilliant spotting by Robbie Gray!

He likes Robbie. Did you see him clinging to Robbie after he kicked the winning goal against Carlton.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

There was an article on Port's 2018 draft in the tiser that detailed Port's visit to Butters at Bacchus Marsh. There was a mini-oval with goal posts built next to the house. Butters explained how he would spend all day and night kicking the football on the oval with his passion and love of the game overwhelming. When Cripps left he looked back through the front window of the house and Zak still had his arm in a sling from the operation at this stage and he was throwing the footy up with his other hand while he was sitting on the couch.

The kid lives and breathes footy.

may have already broken out in his two years with the Power, Montgomery is backing him to elevate himself from a good player to a very good player this season.

,” he said on Sportsday SA.
“But it’s probably not going out on a limb either, because of the improvement he showed last year.
“The skillset that he has and the game sense that he possesses, I just don’t see him not producing and not improving at the same rate.
“I’ve got an enormous amount of faith, as the other coaches do.
“He’s a real favourite down at Alberton, no doubt.”

I think 40 man AA squad means he already broke out, but if Monty reckons Zak will go up to another level this year it will be a sight to behold

Listening to him speak, he is already sounding very mature for his age too. Certainly seems intent on making the most of his career.

No pressure at all kid, one has a grandstand named after him, & the other is the ‘son of god’.
