A lad i speak to everyday whos going to draft camp has stood Butcher in the U/18 carnival.His comments about him wernt to impressive.He said very lazy & weak when the balls on the ground or he dosnt get it 1st chance.Said he has fairly good hands but is a absoloutly terrible kick.Dosnt chase or 2nd effort & he thinks he should be well down the draft order.He said Panos is far better & if he was picking would take Panos every day of the week.Far better kick,more skillful & better chaser & tackler,all round better player.This lad also likes the dees & said he would take Panos without a doubt.I wont mention his name but hes going to the draft camp & i would love it if we got him with our 3rd or 4th round pick or rookied him.Hes also good mates with Panos so that could help with the move to Vic

Haha good 1 but i wont give it up that easily.Ill give a few hints though,ive mentioned him on here before & realy rate the guy as a player & person.Hes 195cm & 85kg & has been playing SANFL seniors all year as a fullback & CHB.Has stood players like Ken McGregor,Todd GRima,Damon White etc.Was named in the best several times & had a rising star nomination.Hes going to the State screening & the Crows & power have spoken to him as have several Vic clubs.Hes a good lad & grew up & played all his junior & rep footy with Trengove,rates the guy very highly & says hes a gun.Knows him well & they both moved from the city from theyre country towns to play foory in the SANFL,oh by the way he likes Melb to & would love to get a spot there.Would help if we got him & Trengove & Panos as they all know eachother & could help them settle in

What are his chances of being picked up by the Dee's, and are his initials 'AS'?

thanks mate

Yeah the AS initials got it,thats him so think you can figure that out.Played Fullback & CHB all year for Norwoods League side & is going to the state screening after attending the National screening last year.Quality kid & would be a good solid player at AFL level.More in the mould of a Frawley or Rutten i would think,can use the ball well & has a huge kick,not a flashy player but a solid hard player.Thinks he might get rookied or picked up late.% clubs spoke to him last year & as i said hed love to play at the Dees

So you are saying he would be more of a stopp-ing defender?

Haha you got me there,thats exactly what id say he is.Hes been getting around a dozen kicks a game plus half a dozen handballs but is strong,takes a good grab & has a good spoil on him.Hes not someone that will get cheap kicks sweating off players & rack up 40 stats a game cos hes a close shecking hard defender.Good solid build to & has played against & stood some X-AFL players.Only 19 as well so id love us to give him a go.Obviously you have seen him or know of him so whats your opinion?

Bailey said on the draft camp 'we will be picking at least 1 midfielder with one of our first 2 picks'...arrrrrrgggggghhhhhhh this means john butcher

How does that work?

We're taking 2 of Scully, Trengove and Morabito. I'd bet my life on it.

That made me giggle. Taking the [censored] out of two posters with one sledge. Nice.

Cam Schwab wrote this on twitter this morning: CamSchwab Winning teams need approx 12 quality players who can run through the midfield. Cats had 14/15 on Sat. What will ours look like in 2012?

Sounds to me like were taking Scully and Trengove

If Butcher lasts to Pick 11 and we get him he will suddenly go from overrated giraffe who can't kick to biggest steal in draft history gun forward.

HA! I was thinking the same thing.

I remember Sellar was supposed to be pick two after Gibbs a few years ago. He ended up being the last pick of the first round from memory... pick 16 or thereabouts. He's not entirely useless, but I'm not sure he's going to have a glittering career.

Would people prefer Talia over Butcher? While Butcher is a chance to drift to eleven, Talia is NO chance I would have thought. Would love to see some of the mock drafts people have in mind for the first 20 picks.

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
