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

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
