Seriously, how good does this kid look!

Should we look at getting him to Geelong??? I would be all for it! Tom Hawkins looks like he'll never really end up being the player we wanted, so perhaps we could get the Butcher as a key forward!
He's out of contract, and the whispers are he wants out of Port.

What are peoples thought?
 
He won't leave Port. He just hasn't been the very first player they have tried to resign so conclusions have been made that he wants out. Before the last three weeks no one would have considered trying to lure him over and Port have been working on Trengove and Carlisle who have been talked about all year.

Where did you hear these "whispers"? The main board?

Half of the "whispers" there are crocks of shit that losers fabricate because they get bored and know that people will buy it. Butcher will stay at Port, just like Trengove stayed at Port, and just like Boak and Gray stayed at Port last year.

Plus, we already have enough forwards that take big grabs and then kick rank mungs
 
crazy vossy is that you?

Never seen such panic after a loss.

There's no panic here, not at all. I haven't thought about the Sydney game since Saturday!

I'm just suggesting we make a play for a potential gun young forward. With Mooney gone, Pods 30+, Hawkins being a marshmallow, and Brown injury prone, I think it would be wise! I'm surprised that people are so against the idea to be honest.

As for Butcher being a shit kick, yes that was the knock on him, but have you seen his results? I know 3 games is hardly much to base it on, but he looks pretty accurate at the moment!
 
He's an ugly kick but it bloody sails straight. 11.1 doesn't lie.

No doubt we'd bring out the worst of his kicking if he was on our list.

He's kicked 11 straight aswell, his only point was his first score.

But by god does he shank some. Was it his 3rd or 4th goal on the weekend? Can't remember, but it was close to the single worst kick I have ever seen in my life. It was like a floating 20 metre inside out tube with some helicopter in there and just pure rankness. He loled, I loled, I think everyone loled

He'll end up being a pretty good player I recon, but I would just love a forward that can go back and nail em like big Jay Schultz
 
So it appears Carlton are heavily after The Butch, as well as a few other clubs. Makes sense, still can't work out why we wouldn't consider it?

As for someone comparing him to Matthew McCarthy..... I'll bet ya $10 that Butcher ends up the better player.
 
Should at least sound him out.
His manager has said it is likely he will come back to vic.

Carlton, Norf, Richmond and Melbourne are interested.

Super promising, reckon the Pies and the Cats will be the only Vic teams that don't make a serious offer though, will not come cheap and dealing with Port is a hassle at the best of times.
