Bloody Butler is the difference in this game. St Kilda got so lucky with him. He’s won them 3-4 games this year.

Butler was rubbished here as a very average VFL player. Eat their words now.  He won it for the Saints again.

    Just a reminder to those on here who think we're the only club to let good players go (if you still subscribe to that theory).

    Richmond let Butler go and kept Rioli, who's struggling to get a game.

    Good chance we will be 9th on the ladder if we beat the Kangas  (with a game in hand).

    The game in hand thing is starting to become less important. With Carlton, Hawthorn, Fremantle and West Coast having a bye this weekend, we no longer have a game in hand over any of them.

    In terms of ladder position, the North game is critical. Will be our 5th win and that would help us level out with GC, Essendon and the Dogs (assuming Essendon loses to GWS, then GC beats Essendon and the Dogs lose to Brisbane).

    If that all happens, our subsequent fortnight becomes huge for our season if we have any desire to play finals: Collingwood and the Dogs will be thereabouts in that lower half of the top 8.

    Lose to North and none of this really matters of course.

    Richmond have a lot of good small/medium types who kick goals. Aside from Rioli there’s Higgins, Short, Bolton, Castagna and Baker. Cant keep them all and a tough decision to chose who to move on. Rioli based on previous form is a keeper who’s having an ordinary season so far. Butler would have been a huge pickup for us after delisting Garlett and JKH.

    I don't disagree.

    Suggesting Richmond stuffed up has a significant element of hindsight to it.

    The point I'm making is that all clubs make "tough decisions" and sometimes the players they let go end up doing better elsewhere. It's not just us.

    Butler is an interesting one. Can’t seem to kick a set shot to save himself, but in general play he is looking as dangerous as any small forward in the league right now.

    God this is weird.  Id be surprised if Chol wasnt angry about it.  If anyone stuck their finger in my bum they'd be knocked out cold on the spot.  And I didnt even mentioned the constant penis grabbing.

    Weird, and he moved away from Broad in the song because he went for a grab also.

    Papley and Butler both turning it on in the same evening really puts a spotlight on what we're missing up forward. It's something missing from the games of Hannan, Fritsch and our other mid-sized forwards. 

    On the one hand we can realistically hope to get some of that mysterious occult power from Pickett as well as the unknowable future of Jackson, but we really need to bring a bit of spontaneous hunting into the game of the mid-sizers.

    Clearly not consented to or invited.

    Clearly not appreciated.

    Zero chance of him or the club taking any action against a senior double-premiership player.

    Butler is a prime example of why you don’t shoot down posters for raising a delisted or out of favour player as a potential recruit. There are good players there who can offer something.

    Not that he fills a need for us, but Greenwood for Gold Coast is recruit of the year for me. For next to nothing, he adds a much needed big body around the ball for a young team. He’d go close to being Adelaides best player this year,

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
