Player Watch Pick #12 (2018) - Zak Butters

[Portwrld]

Well even if they wanted to you can’t rebuild with bugger all picks.
Hawthorn did it by finishing down the order for some years.
There best position is going light this year and hopefully we are in a better position with F/S picks and Academy picks in the coming years.

Omg bro when you point this out in Zak’s trade thread on the main board you might get banned from it like I did lol

 

[Scodges]

Btw to double down on this he didn't ask for a trade. He asked if we were going into rebuild mode in which case he'd like to look outside. Very different things and with the footy dpt changes now, I cannot see him leaving this year. The timing of these leak is extremely weird, which is why I think it was CD

CD is a grub in jabba the huts clothing

 

[Scodges]

This year was a shit show of the clubs design, why wouldn’t he want out?

Something you’d do, not someone loyal to Ports.

 

[PatientMental]

Would be odd timing, if he wanted out then this leak would've come from his manager a few weeks ago. Its too late to do something about this the weekend before trade week. I can guarantee you that Port have not spoken to any clubs because their stance is a big fat No

Wonder how much the clubs view on trading in early after how bad the houston trade turned out to be.

The Western Bulldogs are mid table shitters, even when the umpires gifted them a flag.

How do people forget about the most important part of FA

• Restricted free agents are a little trickier. They have served eight years or more with one club and are in the top 25 per cent of wage earners at that club – often the 'star' players of a team. Opposition clubs can make an offer to lure these players. If the offer is matched – both in duration and financially – by their current club but the player still wants to move, a trade then has to be struck.

I've always wondered about the initial offer to a RFA. As an over the top example - could a team offer a RFA some ridiculous contract (where they have the cap space and know the player's current team doesn't), say 50 mil over 10 years and then just reneg it to a more reasonable amount after the player's current team is forced to just accept the free agency draft pick? Or would the team offering the contract be compelled to honour the initial offer, If that makes sense.

Bit rich for him to ask what Josh was planning with the list given he was married to the Keninkley school of faeces smearing.

 

[Ljc_86]

Are you making this assumption because he's moved in with Mitch?

He was the removalist

 

[PowerBaz]

You wouldn’t be a Removalist by any chance ?

No, but where I heard the news involved one.

Another reason why I don't trust bald headed folks.

Houston peaked and is now shit, he’s worth a bag of plain chips.

I know right, where were the threats of leaving then

Bloody hell there has been some pants pissing in here the last 18 hours or so.

So Zak asked about a trade. Big deal - it happens all the time that a contracted player asks for a trade - and a shit load of times a trade doesn't happen, because the club says no you are a required player.

Tredders asked for a trade to Carlton and Bucky said no. James Hird recently revealed that he met Sam Mitchell to discuss a trade to Essendon and Hawks said no way will we let him go. Dusty was all set to be leave for North and then Richmond finally upped their offer and he said ok, I'll stay.

Ryan O'Keeffe and Tom Papley have asked Sydney for a trade back to Victoria and Sydney have said only if we get the right deal. No right deal happened, they stayed, and they delivered on field after they said they wanted to leave.

Watch how many players who request a trade in the next 2 or 3 weeks don't get one and continue to play good footy for their club. It happens every year. Curnow and Merrett included.

As I wrote yesterday, you want Zak whilst he is contracted - offer 4 first rounders to show you are really interested to prize away our best player this year. Want him next year when he is a RFA, and we have offered him a 2 +6/7 year option on huge $$$, you still have to pony up.

Why ship your furniture back then.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Why ship your furniture back then.

Who said that? Who has proved that is the case?

 

[Scodges]

Why ship your furniture back then.

Pics, or it didn’t happen. And not the AI shite !

 

[Expat power]

If he’s checked out, I’m going hard for Hawthorns Will Day.

Reckon Hawthorn have plans for Will Day to be their next Captain.

 

[PatientMental]

Reckon Hawthorn have plans for Will Day to be their next Captain.

Considering how many captains ask for trades now

It wouldnt be outlandish to take him still

 

[JimmyBC]

As if rich footballers are not buying new furniture when they shift states lol

Davies has a mouth in him. The source of just leaks from the club the past few years!

With Davies & Chadbro gone it'll be interesting to see if leak city dries up a bit.

 

[JohnHinckleyJr]

Did he use to have pafc in his bio ?

 

[Coobk001]

The Western Bulldogs are mid table shitters.

Sounds like another club i know.

 

[crafty_bernardo]

No pafc in bio. None of the players in that pinned photo are at the club anymore. Trav and Dan back in Vic

Butters is definitely gone.
