I can't get my head around it. What are they doing (besides their superior facilities than ours) that we are not?

$$$ - and you’re automatically in their best 22.

Must be better than playing in the VFL for 80% of the season at a better club.

Well duck it’s not the theme song 

It’s being reported that Richmond won’t stand in the way of Butler moving elsewhere and a fourth round pick has been suggested as adequate for a trade.

Problem for Melbourne as things stand is that we don’t have a fourth round pick after yesterday’s trading.

Future fourth... done.

Butler to the Saints

 

Lockhart will do fine. Will be 24 next year and as tenacious as ever to keep his place in the team.

with the dearth of small forwards who can rotate through the midfield and the demand for them, butler will be in demand at the end of the season from multiple clubs i suspect

could yet end up a two-time premiership player if one of castagna, rioli, bolton, etc. were to get injured on the run-in to the tiggas winning it all

sigh

he's been outstanding for the aints this year

most amazing thing is the tiggas didn't even use the pick they got for him; it was a straight-up gift wrapped in a bow to moorabbin

You can't continue to annoy the entire board but then complain when people call you out.

Each week you bump threads out of nowhere, many of which are your threads to begin with, almost always after losses.

Maybe we did?

Nothing wrong with bumping threads. Just highlighting how badly we need decent small forwards as our current fwd line is devoid of pressure 

I must admit having thought the same thing last year. I assumed he had injury or 'other' problems for there to be such a low, industry-wide, interest in him. Inexplicable and unexplainable. 

Had a superb season. One of the exact players we are missing. 
What a shame he has gone to that club

I wanted him to E. I saw great potential when I saw his VFL games last year.

I just don't understand why a thread from last year needs to be brought up again? I'm sure it doesn't you or I any comfort at all? Yeah it hurts to see him play well but people just need to get over it and move on.

I have hopes that Pickett and Bedford can be our specialist small forwards for us moving forward.

Coz its MFC Dont u get it!!???

I was just curious if anyone on here knew why Melbourne didn't chase him, hence why I bumped this

Who says they didn't?

Dan Butler, Josh Mahoney and Tim Lamb will be your best bet to ask.

After he kicked his 23rd goal today I also thought we should have got him last trade period.
