That hair.

This was due to every player feeding him the ball against a s**t Brisbane outfit. Butcher was also older than Todd Marshall is now.

Marshall went at 16 d, 10 m and 5 goals against Hawthorn this year. He also had 3 goal assists while Butcher had 0.

1) Butcher was playing for 10th placed Port, being stood by Harris Andrews & Daniel Merrett, away to 17th placed Brisbane. Marshall was playing for 2nd placed Port, being stood by James Blanck & Sam Frost, at home to 16th placed Hawthorn.

2) Butcher was 25y 27d on the night. Marshall is 24y 326d today.

3) Butcher had 17 score involvements that night, (Marshall vs. Hawthorn = 11).

For context, since the SI-stat began, Buddy Franklin’s career high was 16. Charlie Dixon’s is 17. Taylor Walker’s is 17. Tom Hawkins’ is 16.

Yeah, I said players were deliberately feeding him the ball to boost his stats. No one ever said that the players didn't love Butcher. The guy was like Tim Tebow - he just couldn't play AFL.

P.S. Marshall went 11 disposals, 4 goals, 3 tackles, 1 goal assist and 8 score involvements against 2nd placed Brisbane in R1. What was Butcher's second best career game?

Just so everyone knows- Butcher can't be selected this week

He was running all over the field that night. Hence the record involvements.

‘Deliberately feeding him’ is certainly one of your narratives, but.

What’s this about airlines jacking up the prices from Adelaide-Brisbane for Saturday week?
All those millions they got from the taxpayers and this is what you get.

This is a clear setup, but its all gonna go down at The Big Panthers Club.

They have always jacked up prices for Grand Finals but I’ve never noticed it to much for semi finals.
All airfares have gone up since Covid, they want there money back fast.
We pay top dollar for air travel in Australia.

Yeah Joyce has done wonders for the Qantas brand.

 

[ElectricG]

I paid $1200 for flights

 

[240volt]

I paid $1200 for flights

Yeah that’s about double the normal fair for September.
Rip off but it’s a long drive

 

[DSL64]

In general no that’s decent

Now deduct the years when Brisbane weren’t West Coast bad see what that looks like

And are you going to deduct the years that we were west coast bad from their wins?
Works both ways...

No forward on our list has ever had a 6 goal game for us. Butcher kicked 6 goals in his second game.

 

[DSL64]

How about we save the 'great' for players who have earned it?

He actually said "It’s the great man John Butcher himself."

 

[dirty2]

Why now and not two days ago?

Why the thread title change? Weird

It upset thunderpants
