Butcher-over rated

[dee-man 0]

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

[Viney Vidi Vici 130]

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

[45HG 1,539]

Cue Rpfc

[rpfc 27,647]

Butcher's got Buckley's chance now...

Hello Mr. Trengove.

Hey Mr. Rpfc. Who are the posters to read and admire?

Well, I'll tell you who you don't have to worry about...

Now, that's a 3-word analysis that Joeboy would be proud of...

How does that work?

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

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.

I reckon we'd take him at 11 as well.

Gone massively off the boil, a bit like Rich did last year.

[Tatu 416]

What the chances on Butcher falling to pick 11?

would be a great draft day for MFC if we get Scully, Trengove and Butcher.

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.
