Always really rated him but just couldn’t cement a spot last year and when he did he just didn’t perform to his 2017 levels for some reason. Moving to a new club was the best thing for him and sometimes just the kick in the ass some players need to reignite their careers. We have always been very good to trade with since our current recruitment team have been at the club, especially to help guys get to the club of their choice when they are struggling to break into the side. No point being an Essendon or Carlton when it comes to trading as what goes around comes around in this business.

Most clubs are like that, Steven was worth more than what we got. The clubs that don't care as much are widely known and deserve the stigma

Butler is a quality finisher and that's exactly what we needed. I know a Richmond mate who was spewing that Butler went- a bit of class left the Richmond forward half. We also have Kent who is a quality finisher, and if we keep those two on the field, then we will win more games.

very prudent money ball pickup. i love a money ball type.
what will be interesting is to see if he consistently becomes a good best 22 player. or if its a flash in the pan game or a one off season.
the spot of our best small fwd is up for grabs so he could really solidify a role we haven't filled properly since schneider and milne.

Similar to Skunk who thought he'd struggle to break into a Buddy/Tippett attack

Ironically, my Richmond mates thought Butler was a GOP and my Dees mates thought Kent was a gun. Kent was injured so often that they thought he was better than he was. He was their Freezer.

Close, we've got Adam Goodes to thank for Members. Goodes retires at the end of 2014, Members would have stuck around to play the third tall forward role around Buddy and Tippett.
Cheers Adam!

Where are all of the negative Nancy’s who were bagging the club last year at his trading in?

I am somewhat disturbed by the trade to be honest. It's got nothing to do with Dan's ability, but more his being at the club. I was recently told that my bloody mum has a crush on Dan Butler. It's just f*cking wrong. He's like 20 years younger than me...I fear she's gonna do a Rod Stewart if she gets a chance

He's a handsome man you have to admit!
Glad to see him doing well. Told you all he's a good player.
I wanted to keep him and I would have him in the Richmond side right now ahead of the likes of Rioli and Higgins.
Keep it up Dan! Hoping for a good 30-40 goal season.

To be fair, I would bang the GILF that is Martha Stewart ( I think that's the GIF) into next week. Nothing wrong with that.
Butler looks an inspired signing. He's slotted straight in and looks tremendous.

I wish the club could take initiatives like this, as it would be great to support them through these avenues.
If it's just a matter of not being able to guarantee a certain number of sales to justify a stock purchase, they can organise lower numbers through websites that are set up for small businesses, or even sell them on a % basis and take on zero liability.
If it's due to legal/licensing issues, then it's disappointing that such hurdles are in place.

Clubs are often not very creative compared to fans. As soon as you get one of the sportswear or club designers on these kind of projects, they can look really lame.

I have to ask. Are you Wayne Rooney?
I disapprove of the word "slotted" with the previous text being about my mother.
Approve of Butler being tremendous so far.
I too would bang Martha.
For food.

Thanks for posting George - this shows how dangerous Butler is.

Dan should take that graphic to his exit review and send a copy to the list manager! Coaches love small forwards that tackle, and love forwards that kick goals. Dan Butler is both of those rolled into one compact unit.

I'm spewing that we traded him, and yes I was spewing 6 months ago as well. Always thought he was the best out of Rioli, Castagna, Butler. Dimma didn't rate him as much and I think it was partly because he has a laconic look about him and he really lost confidence in 2019. This season he is going harder at it and looks extremely fit. No doubt he'll have a good career and his traits suit the modern game.
hi guys, bit of a mix up, we seem to have sent you the wrong daniel
we'll just leave him at the Gabba, you can pick him up there
