Scary thing is we might see him next year when he is released from his contract. He grew up loving the Eagles apparently.
Holy smokes

Get a grip, that's ep or figure type pessimism man

Snap out of it man, good grief.

The amount of hate for Butler in this thread makes me sick. Absolute trash.

I'm gonna sponsor the **** out of him next year and deliver several helpings of but hurt to all the haters.
I thought he had a pretty good year
He also caused the turnover that led to nn kicking that goal against gws

Butler has really lifted his output in the last couple of years, don't understand the hate personally.

Nobody hates Butler. He will be 31 in a couple of months though and his body isn't very durable. It's better than it used to be but he still gets niggling injuries that put him out for a game or 2.

What's Vardy like as a player/ruckman?

Is he a tap ruckman, around the ground type, can he play up forward?

Is he better than Giles?
He is very much a forward/ruck. Very mobile. Pretty similar to Lycett really. Cats rated him through the roof a while back but injuries have got the better of him and then they got Zac Smith last year. Better longer term option than Giles with a pretty big upside as well. A good get for a lack pick if we can get him.

I really do hope McInnes gets moved to the rookie list,been saying it for ages.I also think butler could be moved there,and just be upgraded at the beginning of the year

Hate might be the wrong word but you want to chuck a past premiership player onto the rookie list.
Even if its only for list management, the amount of people who have randomly brought up that Butler isn't best 22, Butler should be delisted etc is average at best.
This is a guy who just had a career best season and saved our arse several times.
He gave us the opportunity to win the GWS match in the dying stages.
Butman has much more but hurt for you all :rainbow:

Apparently Fremantle won't let Ballantyne out of his contract and that's why he wasn't even entertained by us. From all accounts he has pissed a lot of people off and will probably be benched most of the year.
He and Nat will be able to hate being at Freo for 1 more season all next season together.

Sounds like you are warming up for being the Buttmans sponsor. Doing well so far :)

OK then..I'm actually a big fan of butler and can't see the problem with him spending the offseason on the rookie list and being upgraded before a game is played
I'm not talking about showing him the door ala Mitchell or Stevie j

I follow the local lads a bit closer. Butler left just before Central Districts dynasty and did well enough to snag a flag with us making it all worth it.
Think Hurn won one with them.
Waters played for Westies who only just won a flag last year after a 32 year drought.
Lycett jumped straight into the AFL system I'm pretty sure.
Karpany and Allen are still quite raw.

More of a natural forward/ mobile ruckman which Vozzo was after. I think the theory is if Lycett is fit its 1st ruck Lycett/ 2nd Vardy.
If Lycett goes down its Giles/ Vardy.
Giles seen as more of 1st ruck. Vardy also better coverage if Kennedy or JD miss.
All pending on Vardys fitness of course. Has had lots of troubles staying on the park

I'm not singling you out mate. The whole thread is full of it.
Nearly as bad as the Darling trade talk.

I reckon there could be. The swans need to get rid of tippet to fix their cap issues. Gold Coast want players so it could be a win-win situation. The only issues is that JOM wants to go to a Melbourne based team. Gold Coast might just trade him anyway to prove a point.
They can't trade him to Sydney unless he agrees to it
