Player Watch Pick #12 (2018) - Zak Butters

[MrChow]

He won’t go there unless he thinks they can contend

And more chance he stays at Port.

It’s in our interest to death ride any potential suitors, to improve the bounty.

You werent scoffed by everyone for backing in Port in 23/24, many of us here backed the quality of the team ... You were scoffed for dourly defending Hinkley.

It never was never as good as it seems ... But the converse is also true! ... It really is never as bad as it seems!

The negativity many of us feel now (in various degrees), is really the cumulative result of a decade-plus of being gaslit by Kosh, Hinkley, Richardson, the media, and even captains of the club!

I seriously think it it not just severe disappointment, but a form of PTSD ... Not meaning to depreciate anyone that suffers or has been affected by PTSD or any other mental illness, but what these individuals have done is a sickening disgrace, and will take a hell of a lot of work by Carr and his band to heal it.

My 2026 wishlist:
Carr turn the ship around, and we play deep into finals
Butters decides to stay on & work to get a premiership at Port
Koch decide to call it quits and ride into the sunset
Another strong football identity joins the BOD
While they are at it, shoot MR into the sun too

Tibbsy you have a lot of wishes going on just take the Tim Tams and be satisfied

See how warm and fuzzy it feels to be positive for a change?

Keep it going mate ... Come in from the darkness into the light!

Pretty sure me wanting Footscray to lose isn’t having an impact on Butters contract lol

I reckon if the 3-4 clubs he is thinking of going to in Vic at the current time, have a bad year, I reckon you think twice.

Perhaps all 4 Northern clubs will take the Top 4 anyways. It’s totally possible with their lists…

Wasn’t it the power from port or something similar ?

If hes a club man, he will make his decision either way early so the circus doesnt continue

I kinda want all the Vic media pundits and AFL YouTubers to constantly say Butters will be leaving since Port are awful…only for Butters to re-sign for life the next morning after they made those comments and have them all whining and bitching about his decision.

IIRC, Will Faulkner wrote an “exclusive” that NAS’s preference had changed from Port to Crows because Crows were in the “premiership window”…only for NAS to re-sign the next day.

I want a similar scenario with Butters.
