Hope this is accurate...

Butters plays taller than his height suggests, with an ability to work between the arcs and play in the forward line.

He has a great ability to spread from the play and find the ball in space and then use it beautifully, significantly improving his disposal.

Butters appears to have that innate x-factor about him with his speed, ball use and the ability to play different roles for the team.
No kidding

the blurb is amazing at what we've stumbled upon
big tick so far

So... wasn’t everyone melting at the 06 draft? Hopefully this is similar to that?

Less expectation, especially at picks 55 and 71. But I was a bit surprised at some reactions. A lot of people were over the moon when we had Rozee and Butters but then proclaimed the draft to be a disaster when Duursma was picked. I hope he's not going to become another player with a target on his back.

Duursma is quick and hard at it. Had a great TAC Cup finals series too. I don’t understand the negativity at all.

Hopefully his brothers are good footballers too and we can recruit them in future years. It’s going to be tough for him being away from a large young family.
 
I hope everyone who is being critical of our picks has watched the top 25 or so players live at least 5 times during the year.

you may hope that but you know that is not the case and it does not exclude people from having an opinion.

Happy with Rozee and Butters, pissed at missing Sturt.

Duursma is one I have not looked at, I just watched his highlight package and my reaction was to cringe. Looks like a player who is good when the ball is in his area but has no idea what to do when the ball is not in his area. Having said that the tools are there for him to be good.
 
Looks like we went in with a strategy to improve our pace and skill and appear to have done that. Added 3 players with speed and x factor and all came across as really good characters to have around a club too.

Rozee and Duursma have some very good intercept skills. Rozee does Wingard level work in that space. They all look to have that instinctive change of direction at pace that quick players use to leave players in their dust.

Butters is a slick and clever ball user.

As neddy36 posted Rozee is a super talent and terrific athlete.

Looking forward to seeing them on board as soon as possible.

Swapped firsts with Adelaide.

Crows looking at a top 3 pick next year unless Carlton pick their socks up. Would be hilarious if McGovern leads Carlton to finals lol but that is very unlikely.
Crows are going to have so much fun death riding McGovern and Carlton.

At the moment the trade score between Carlton and Adelaide is :

CARLTON : McGovern, 19, cows 2019 first(12-15?) v ADELAIDE : 13, Carlton 2019 first (3-8?). If Carlton get close to finals next year or Adelaide finish at the lower end of the eight Carlton could break even. But if the cards fall as they have been doing over the last few years Adelaide will have made out like bandits.
