Player Watch #7: Daniel Butler

[Coach_Required]

No certainty to be at club
Adelaide in mix

For Butler????

* off Damian Barrett

 

[parmy2balmey]

i heard he was going to retire so he could join the fire brigade

 

[Sgt Bargearse]

Dan Butler is a quality player and we're a better team when he's playing.

 

[HTT]

Thread title is doing my head in

 

[tigerz18]

Butler has breakout year 2019. Feeding off jack and now Lynch. ooh he kicks 40 next year.

Yeah we missed his pace v the wobblers,.shame he couldn't get up in time.

 

[HumanMeatball]

Would almost chuck him in the midfield group. See how he goes

 

[4tune8]

I've noticed he gets lost in traffic a lot, he's ok when running ahead of the ball with no one in front, but in tight he's a worry

[SplintWhisky]

Needs to be dropped to the VFL for 2 weeks. Looks like he thinks he is the culmination of all the Riolis and Carey. Needs to have his ego knocked out of him

 

[theyellowsash]

hes been trying to play champaigne footy since the flag. needs to be taken down a peg and get back to the smart effort based footy he played in 2017

 

[tony__montana]

Looks woefully out of touch

 

[TigerImposter]

Too undisciplined atm and yep winning the flag has got to his head. Too good a player to be piss farting around in the magoos, but he’s on thin ice

 

[Tenacious T]

Great set shot for goal, but struggles on the run..
Lacks footy smarts and needs a subtle kick up the backside.

 

[Phar Ace]

Said in another thread his running patterns on Thursday night were very ordinary bordering on getting cheap ball much of the time. Has little intensity at the moment and I think even just before his injury last season he was playing like this. Jack Higgins is showing up big time. Looks to be playing in survival mode.

Would rather we played Aarts, at least he'll run hard at every opportunity.

I've been saying this for the past year. He plays well when we do. I know that is the lot of small forwards up to a point, but he almost never gets down and dirty and scraps for a ball or wins his own ball. It is always running on to a lose ball or a handball receive. I've been really disappointed with Rioli so far this year, but at least he goes in and wins his own ball and wins one on ones, even if he is out of form and not doing it often. Like Rioli he is out of form, but he needs a spell in the VFL to get some urgency in his play. Bolton to replace, who is playing well in the midfield at the moment and has earned a chance.
Not sold on Aarts, but he is a tough nut so he might be worth a go.

 

[juss]

Problem is none of Rioli, Castagna or Butler are playing well.
Since we lost Stengle, we also dont have that much depth in the VFL.
Baker, Bolton, Aarts? Probably cant bring in all 3. Maybe one at most.

Wouldnt be against dropping Butler and giving Bolton a week. Rioli stays because we need his class and ball use even if he doesnt get it enough and Castagna only just got back deserves another run.

Baker would be the first one id try if Butler was dropped . my gut feel is they wont be dropped since Jack will be Out , dimma wont want a complete front half make over

 

[JAKLAUGHING]

Looks woefully out of touch

Agree, not sold at all on his current form!

 

[tunksy]

Peppa should've stayed as the forwards coach

 

[kozi]

Needs to stop playing like a millionaire and get back to basics. Pressure and tackling first, flashy stuff second and only when necessary.

I get the feeling he feels theres no pressure on his spot

no way do you try half the stuff eh tries when you know theres a bloke in the vfl breathing down your neck

 

[Zoom]

Sick to f***ing death of him.

 

[Marcel Proust]

Sick to f***ing death of him.

certainly not at his peak form

 

[DustinsGuns]

Need to look at aarts, Baker and Bolton now. He’s been s**t all three games
