Player Watch Jordon Butts - Contract Extension to End of 2026

[BRL121]

Butts is and has always been a better kick than Talia. He's actually quite competent all round now he's beefed up and worked on his contested ball which was really the only area of his game he needed to work on when we drafted him.

I've no problem with his defence and foot disposal in the clear. The one thing I've noticed is that he is a bit hesitant with disposal by hand in traffic. This can be improved.

Play the game of your life then bank a 2 year contract. Can't argue about the week Jordon is having.

Great to hear he is staying on. Credit to the recruiters who picked him and to the club for their development. Another great rookie pick.

Now that's the Big Butts news I'm here for

 

[Mr_Moogle]

Pretty stoked with this one tbh. A rookie pick becoming a major pillar in our defense. Bargain.

 

[skittlebrew]

Played great against Hawkins and with a bit of smoke around fish I can't help but think Butts had some bargaining power here.

Good for him and hopefully he got paaiiiddd!

 

[crows dude]

Can we upgrade him once Gibbs is off list

 

[Jinglebells32]

Great to have him sign on for another 2 years. Developing nicely.

 

[Mutineer]

Wasn't there a rule on how long a rookie could remain on an AFL list before they either had to be upgraded or delisted?

That's changed obviously?

We thought we were going to be pummelled last game.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

It's not really Jordon is it?

That's like Level 8 bogan

 

[jackster83]

Proving to be an excellent rookie pick.

We took our eye off the ball for a while there, preferring to fill our rookie list with 25 year old state leaguers.

I feel he is our FB for the next 8 to 10 years.

Softening us up for a Mackay selection.

 

[Jirkago75]

Butts looked bad in the 2 games last year but was outstanding against Tomahawk. Looks really agile and quick, hope he can stay with us and become a one club player

 

[Betts are off]

Well I guess we are gonna Seymore Butts around the place...

I’ll see myself out!

 

[WeeBlake]

‘Until *at least* 2023’
Do they always say that, or does it suggest there’s an extension trigger in it?

 

[spexau]

Hah just noticed that 66% of all his game time is against Geelong

 

[cmndstab]

Looks like joining the Rutten/Bock list of rookie listed Crows who became KPDs at AFL level.

I guess Hartigan goes on that list too, played 100 games for us. Not sure if Keath counts.

It's still early days but Butts looks like being a quality player. Very handy pickup late in the rookie draft. Other than recycled players or re-listed rookies, he was almost the last player picked up in the 2018 draft. After him, the only "new" player to get drafted was Tom Wilkinson, who left North Melbourne the following year to become a reality TV star, haha.

Didnt realise how built he got...

I like big Butts. Seriously he looks a quality KPD. Like Talia he probably needs players running off him.

Was playing Rocket League last night and saw a user with the name "JordButts69", given that our man is a gamer i'd assume it was him. Left the game before i could say hi. Lol @ 69
