Unrestricted Free Agent Jordon Butts

[beowulf]

The jungle drums are getting louder about Butts leaving at the end of the year.

Fair enough. If his form continues, he will have plenty of suitors.

Which team is the front-runner?

Which team is the front-runner?

Im not sure what he would prefer, but both North and Western Bulldogs both tried to get him last trade period.
I have no idea about who's offering what, and with this being his last opportunity to get a big contract, I would assume that the money will play into it.
While the Bulldogs have the more premiership ready team now, I think Norths should also be pushing for finals during the next few years as well.

So TLDR, I have no idea what he is thinking, just the club think he could be gone.

I think it's more you banging on your drum than the jungle drums.

 

[txbyhull]

Similar to Berry, Eagles should plop an extra 200k on his porch on top of whatever other clubs are offering. Unlikely given it might be a go-home move

We will see....

Wouldn't be shocked at all if he left.

 

[BulldogMuscle]

I'm lead to believe that the Dogs have a decent offer on the table for him.

 

[txbyhull]

Is it a case of wanting to leave the Crows or wanting to go to Victoria? Would peg him as the top KPD available, but as per its a case of whether or not a player is willing to move West

 

[The Nostradamus]

Crows apparently have a 4 year deal in front of him

 

[Viva la Mattner]

Western Bulldogs could have had him last year , Adelaide offered Butts as part of a deal for Sanders.

WBD turned it down and wanted Keane

Went no further

Which given he's a free agent this year is probably the correct call. Not sure it makes a lot of sense to trade Sanders for a player who can leave for nothing 12 months later.

Do you expect he signs on?

KPD is a position Adel has depth in so don't need to overpay to keep him

Keane
Murray
Borlase
Worrell
Cotton ( rookie who is tracking very well)

The last Shepparton KPD we grabbed from the Crows turned out pretty well.

We'll have to pay overs for him though to get him out of there. We do have the cap space.

Feels the type of player Collingwood will swoop on if they miss on King. They need KPS on both ends of the ground

Shame that big Mason left Collingwood

Cox to Butts has a ring to it

King already signed on for 2 more years at GC last week, according to DDF.

And how good does that look in hindsight for the Dogs, imagine if we traded Sanders. Yikes.

Butts will be UFA this year so if we get him with butters, great. If not, meh.

At this point he is gone, to the dogs

I dont want to lose him as he is a great defender, so he he is more than a meh. especially when your team lacks quality KPD.
Hes unrestricted, so we have no say if he goes or stays, but luckily if he does go we have a bit of depth in that department.
If the Dogs get him for nothing thats a great get.

Cotton was the ex basket baller right?

Good to hear his tracking well

If it's because we have dollars locked away for Bailey/Neale etc that's ok.
Murray needs to start to deliver though.

Yep that's him

Depends, Sanders wouldn't improve your premiership chance with a fit Bont or even Treloar but your KPD is very thin and Butts will cost a bit more money this year, probably around $200K more.

Perhaps, but Treloar and Libba are likely to retire. And sanders has been our second best midfielder this year.
