Butcher is the hero we deserve.

We're gutting the magpies, it's hilarious.
When we beat Hawthorn late last year we had Ryder in the ruck, with Schulz, Westhoff and Butcher up forward.

While in the SANFL that same week we had Lobbe in the ruck, Redden, Shaw and Frampton up forward, Doogie down back, with Harvey "rested" due to heaps of tall options.

Now if Butcher is called up, the Maggies will have Jon Ross in the ruck, with Reynolds and Stewart up forward.

That must be close to the best game Butch has played. He's had games where he's kicked more goals but he stayed involved in this game for all four quarters. Provided a target and forward line leadership. Even when the game had slipped away he gave 100% in the ruck.

I get excited just by the prospect of him being picked. Come on Ken, give the people their Butch. :thumbsu:
Exactly like
I can't see us truly "winning" this game

We flog them = essendon are shit as you should
We just win = ports are so shit you only just beat essendon
We lose = ....

But butcher and Dixon in the same team = confirmed entertainment

Now that Carlile is injured - Westhoff to go back permanently as a great intercept mark and a more athletic CB with Trengove, leaving a hole in the forward line to...

UNLEASH Johnny Butcher! It's time! Turn him loose! Let him play!

Carlile out and no Clurey makes this a real possibility, assuming Westhoff swings back more regularly.

Butch finally, finally kicked an SANFL bag at a perfectly opportune time, and not just that but actively dominated the game.

Butchermania to run wild.

Not sure if I am happy or not.

happy for butch to sit out for a week. we don't need Westhoff back there as there's enough talls as it is. Hombsch hopefully will play agressive second tall while Trengove gets the taller Daniher. Dougal earned his spot and played relatively ok. let Butch dominate for 1 more week, continuity is something he's never had.
