Player Watch Jordon Butts

[lunacy]

Will we see Butts this week?

We should. He played well. Kelly should make way for Talia. Butts and Hartigan are both mobile and pretty quick for their size.

Bumping this.

He looked right at home yesterday. I think we’ve got a glimpse of life without Talia. This guy is our lock down full back for the next 5-10 years

Another good rookie we have pulled out of our.....

We're the kings of finding KPDs in the rookie draft

Played very well. Great signs so early in his career. Very timely - there’s a full time position there for him.

 

[hey shorty]

Looked comfortable, actually he was even better than comfortable

Butts and Borlase with Doedee + Worrell at their sides.

Cash McAsey in for a gun wingman.

Good stopper. Not sure about his disposal.

3rd game though.

I'm not saying it can't improve, but it looks iffy to start with.

 

[Sanders]

Good stopper. Not sure about his disposal.

right now, you’d take that without blinking

 

[StickerMan]

Yep, give a chance to settle in to AFL footy and he will be ok. Knows how to rack them up so that will come.

First things first, the guy knows how to defend the big boys.

 

[FR0GGY]

Good stopper. Not sure about his disposal.

You talking about Talia?

 

[StonesThrow]

You talking about Talia?

Maybe worse than Talia. Would be nice to have some handy footskills from our kpds. It's been a while.

Just focussed on the ball, a natural.

 

[Slippery Pete]

Dennis Cometti would call him a “likely type.”

Silence is violence

 

[Sanders]

Silence is violence

you know what? The irony is that these people are actually the bad guys: imagine trying to suppress other people’s joy and happiness over random nothing to just prove your good person credentials? Not sure anything says, I am a bad person like that

And guess who is out of contract at the end of the year?

He will stay, people don’t realise that Laird signing on was the catalyst for all this. Almost everyone has signed on and we have belief and the culture is changing. We may lose Fish this year but Butts has shown so much more in 3 games then him.

Butts at least is getting better and has played well one on one. That’s exactly what we need with Talia ageing. Looks likeour list isn’t as shocking as everyone is predicting

 

[MRB37]

Cats F50 entries almost reminded me of ours from the last two years. I think there may have been a bit of hubris on the Cats side thinking Hawkins could take a 3 gamer with no issues, so just bomb it to him as quick as you can. The Cats entries to Hawkins weren't to his advantage at all and Butts was terrific at holding position and knowing when to move off. In a game where the ball is moving so quickly it'll be easy for defenders to be caught out of position, so I think Butts did a great job in that regard as well.

I don't think Laird is the catalyst to Butts staying. Butts locking down a best 22 spot will be it.

That's what happens when players delivering forward are under pressure.
