Yeah, which is why I'm not so worried about the mechanics of getting him across, because there's still lots of variables.

Port do unexpectedly well = he might stay
We do unexpectedly poorly = he might not want to come to us
Butters himself has a drop off in form and is no longer one of the game's cream of the crop elite = Port aren't that fussed in needing to add a 4th future 1st rounder, they're happy to accept 2-3

etc. etc.
This makes a lot of sense.

Classic AFL equalisation: the better we do the more chance we have of then adding Butters on top for free!

Is it unexpected we do poorly ? Sorry to rain on the parade but if the last 3 years are anything to go off. I personally don’t have us improving much unless we get butters across but that’s just me

If we do the insanity of keeping the high press against great teams that go great by foot, we will be mid table again.
Tactical charges to our defensive structure are a must.

I hope we are working on some one on one defence this off season as a plan b.

Looks pretty good last year: West, ElSouki, Cooney and Hok already.

West for West - with Riley to midfield
Cooney for Trelor
ElSouki for small forward
Hol Marial - 191 mid defender in that roles we haven’t nailed with Cleary, Coffield, Walker, Khamis.

On top of development of last years drafts and injured: Carmichael, Emmett, Darcy2, Buss, Gags, LSmith.

We could trade out a heap of our future picks for Butters and try and match - sounds so unrealistic but even if we miss Butters - would be a good draft. With Butters for Libba - we may be even better.

I wonder if Sanders on a 10 year blockbuster plus our 3 future first round picks could move Port to do a deal?

Tassie will probably offer 2 to 3 1st rounds picks for the colonel. They have to trade a few by AFL rules.
That's 6 1st round picks.
No no no no
3 dogs 1st round pick for Butters, if that deal goes down, I'd top up our draft picks by then trading colonel to Tassie.
Butters for colonel is a great swap.

Timing doesn't work. He's out of contact the end of next year. Tassie won't be in the league until 2028.
