Geez from that the next chapter seems like it should start:

After the game John motions to me as he moves into the showers, I walk in there nervous about what is in store for me. Did he notice my eyes at him during the game? Was it the subtle signals I had been sending his direction after the celebrations in the changerooms from his game winning goal, did he just want someone to soap him up? As I rounded the corner I immediately realise what I'm in for and I start to...
can you send me the next chapter via pm please

We should build Butch up to West Coast Kennedy size in the off-season and let him really crash some packs.

Can his hips handle it? He's only just started running and jumping with confidence again.

Honestly I am sick of always hearing excuses why our players can't get bigger. We hear the excuses all the time - hips aren't strong enough, knees are sore, groin hurts. Not just Butch but so many of them. You know what happened to those players in the old days? They went to Torrens and Woodville.

Butch is barely hanging onto a spot on the list by the width of a single strand of hair on a new born babe's head.

Let's try it and find out.
 
Today's 'Tsier has an article that isnt available on line that is headlined - Can we fix him? Yes, we can, says expert.

Its about Ben Perkins offering to help fix Butch's goal kicking. Edit - its page 97 and you can use Press Reader to get access to one story free at

Here are a couple of paragraphs

Leading goalkicking coach Ben Perkins is confident John Butcher's scattergun technique can be fixed as he continues to marvel at the game's lack of understanding of the art.

Perkins is often called an eccentric, but a better way to describe him is as being brutally frank. He has indisputable results. Former Australian captain John Eales couldnt speak more highly of Perkins and his role in the Wallabies securing the World Cup.

He was influential in straightening up star players such as Port Adelaide's Warren Tredrea and modified the run-up of (Shaun) Burgoyne, worked with Jarryd Roughead and watched with a smaile as the latter collected a Coleman Medal, and continues to be sought after for his kicking consultancy.

If you have never seen Perkins here is the first of several videos I posted in this thread on the BDC board a couple of years ago.

Butcher has been on our list for 6 years and nobody has thought to get in a renowned goal kicking guru such as Perkins until now. Surely we have already gone down this path? Can someone in the know please tell that we have already had Perkins work with Butcher and if not then why f@#$ing not?????.

Perkins was asked on twitter last week if he has worked with Butch or even been asked and replied he hadn't.

Butch cant put 10 kgs on because of his hips, but yeah we should be trying to put 3,4, or 5 kgs on him.

For goodness sake, get him down there port. Can we all email KT on this just to ensure it gets considered?

Yeah a little extra size would help Butch get that extra edge in the contest. He seems to use his frame pretty well at the moment, so even a little extra would help him impose himself more.

If I remember right, this years preseason was his fist full uninterrupted one. I'd think given his injury free run it seems more likely that we could see him add a little size and push his fitness to the next level.
 
Blazing Ben has seen the Advertiser story.



I move to create a petition that says we sponsor John Butcher as our player for next year if he stays on the list...and we create a fighting fund to get Perkins out to teach John during the preseason in his own time regardless of what the club does.

Every goal he kicks would be like vindication for us.
