Player Watch Pick #12 (2018) - Zak Butters

[snozulu]

he has one of the most punchable heads in the league, you can just imagine how irritating he will be to opposition supporters

I don't think he has.

 

[JUSTWORK]

How good was his reaction when Ken told him Robbie couldn't wait to work with him.

Definitely had a "holy *, Robbie Gray knows who i am" moment

Same here ... I was really disappointed we missed out on Smith & Caldwell with our second pick. I really expected the Crows to pick Hately, which probably would have pushed him to us. So what about Butters? Is the Robbie Gray interest just a bit of hype? Well looking at his extended highlights, you can see some really exciting bits of play ... Robbie Gray-like in fact! I just edited a few of the clever things he as done, but take a note of the last few seconds - BLINK, and you will miss what he does!

He will end up being the Wingard replacement IMO

Wow, movement in the first bit of play was fantastic.

 

[Ported]

25 disposals 5 marks and 4 tackles today in the trial. Was everywhere. Such a smart player already. He looks like one of those players that don't switch off mentally.

Every single bit as impressive as what Walsh was the other night.

 

[JUSTWORK]

Very impressed with him today, looked the best of our 3 first rounders.

Should play round 1 on today’s effort.

 

[The Rubber Man]

Definitely seems like he could be the best draft pickup this year for us.

Love everything he brings. We have been desperate for high quality small forward for awhile. Looks very promising.

Very impressed with him today, looked the best of our 3 first rounders .....

Because he was.

 

[PJ Power]

There’s a lot to like. He regularly wills himself into the play which is fantastic given that we have other players who lazily fall out of the game for long periods (Motlop especially). Got himself into trouble a couple of times by playing on from a stop ball situation, but was by far and away our most energetic contributor.

 

[Far Kern]

We stole Andrew McGrath and called him Zak. Good player. Heaps of time and good decisions. I saw one handling error today.

 

[scottjr]

Looked great and if he can back it up Robbie Gray is a pretty good judge of talant.

Well was not this one ...

Great composure, accurate throw...

Great composure, accurate throw...

Have you seen another angle? Crow player blocks view but it looks like a handpass to me. Clenched fist

I wasn’t being serious and am happy to concede.

It's hanging around Robbie.

Wasn’t between his legs lol.

It's preseason.

Hnnnnnnng

 

[Ishikawa]

Really liked his game, impressive and I think definitely adds immediate value to our best 22.

Saying he was as good as Walsh was though is having a bit of a lend.

 

[OB11]

Love this kid - reminds me so much of Zac Merrett

It’s not every day a player gets the endorsement of Port Adelaide star Robbie Gray before being selected.
Zac Butters, who did enough with his eight TAC cup games, and his performance at the AFL Under 18 National Championships to impress the Power’s three-time club champion and four-time All-Australian.
Robbie saw his potential, looks like Robbie was correct.
Think we have a very good player here.

Robbie clearly knows talent when he sees it. We should give him a job in our list management team when he retires, if that's something he would be interested in.

I hope he will be interested .. he sure knows how to pick talent .
