Reminds me a lot of Jeff Garlett's year in 2015. 
His performance with 40 goals in a bottom team after trading him in for next to nothing.

Butler would not have done it at Richmond and he may not have been able to do at any other club.
Enjoy his success story; we don't have to flagellate ourselves every time a traded player or draftee plays well.

    If he can get back to the pace, tackling pressure and goal sense of 2017, he would be a steal.  His intensity is very good.  Something lacking in our prior small forwards.  

    Butler was always going to be a good pickup. Saints got him as a steal. Ridiculous.

    16 other clubs overlooked him as well.  

    We aren't going to get every move right.  We identified a need with Langdon and Tomlinson, then drafted Kozzie as the pressure forward.  We can't recruit everyone.

    Who is going to stop him on the weekend?

    BBO’s maid SWYL???

    I’d seriously consider Hunt back there to man one of their quick smalls. Of course it all depends on the work up the field.

    Will be very interesting. Jobs are on the line

    (I doubt BBO would allow the maid out past the main gates of the The Manor DZ!!)

    Lockhart on Butler is a fair match up. 
     

    I always worry about Membrey.  He tests our defence.  

    Membrey always scored against us out the back when our defence leaked like a sieve. 

    One positive this season is we've somewhat rectified that (other than our oor periods against the Power and Dogs).

    Membrey tests every defense, you just have to look at his fierce attack on every ball that comes near him, I would love to see a few more of our players attack each and every ball the way he does.!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
