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.!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
