Toast Welcome to St.Kilda - DAN BUTLER!

[George]

Crafty small forward. Premiership player. Can rotate through the midfield.





Get in!

 

[Old M8]

Cracking value. Enjoy, Saints fans.

 

[EskimoPAFC]

You guys just got a 23 year old premiership player for pick 56. This is simply incredible stuff.

 

[Grechy]

Will miss Dan. Ripper kid. Was pivotal in our premiership year.

 

[Human Person]

More speed for us. It seems obvious what the plan was.

 

[saints2066]

Can also rotate through the mids as well.

Good luck breaking into the current Tigers midfield

 

[King_Steele]

Welcome Dan!

Great get, will play round 1 IMO

 

[Bojangles17]

You guys got a steal for that pick , my fave 2017 GF memory was butlers banana from in front of the members , I just laughed , who does that , huge bag of tricks with plenty of pace , plays R1

 

[captain cotch 9]

Boom or bust pick imo.
Could play another 150 games or may only play another 20.
Well worth the risk.
Should help set high standards as a minimum though.
Will always be fondly remembered as a Tiger

 

[tugga]

congrats on the trade period Sainters. You guys and the Dogs clear winners.
Butler will add speed and is crafty. Really hope he does well.

 

[Grockadoc]

Got a solid one here guys. The one thing with Butts is he loves taking the game on. His first instincts is to go forwards. Always looking to play on and run. Sometimes bites off more than he can chew and runs himself into trouble, but he makes things happen and ia very crafty around goals. An absolute bargain for what you paid. A little gem. Will be a GREAT partner for Gresham.

 

[Armoooo]

I have always rated this guy. My only concern is we have him, Lonie, Long, Parker, Hind and Kent all competing for two spots.

I wonder if he knew Carlton would s**t the bed so badly with Papley whether he would have nominated them instead.

Good luck to him, hopefully he can kick more goals than behinds and he will be a fan favourite for sure.

 

[El Tigre]

I wish him all the best there. He’s a pretty handy player. Adds a bit of spark to a forward line.

 

[takethepowerback]

Came to here to comment nice pick up Sainters, saw every second post was a tiges supporter saying this, commented anyway. A steal Sainters, & good luck Butler!

 

[Armitage2Riewoldt]

Seems well liked! Hard not to be when you're a premiership player I suppose (not that we'd know ;()

I'm sure hell give it a good crack and make the forward pocket spot a competitive one.

 

[Harvey to Hayes]

Welcome to the Saints Dan may your time at the club be enjoyable and productive, hope we can add to your medal tally

 

[From 45]

How Tigers let Butler go and keep Costagna is mind boggling.. Thank you Richmond

 

[XhazzafootyX]

Bali Guernsey gets the job done.

Exiting times

 

[smasha]

Saints killing it.

Butler will be a ripper for your club.

 

[lfcstkildaftw]

He's quite similar to Gresham and Billings.

A great player with a dedicated work ethic.

It's a fair statement but there's a reason behind it. While Butler is the better footballer from a technical perspective, he doesn't have anywhere near the workrate defensively that George does - and that doesn't bode well in our gameplan.

That's the beauty of football though, he may not be required to do those things in your game plan. I wish him all the best. Enjoy.

 

[harimal12]

Good luck Dan ...Richmond premiership player i hope you do well at the Saints

Castagna is Richmond's number 1 forward for pressure acts. Also finds himself in good positions in regards to shots at goal. Butler is probably the cleaner of the 2 but Castagna is more important to our gameplan.
