Good player but pretty happy with Jackson

We have drafted really well the last few years 

may it continue. 
can’t knock the Club if they have a serious crack at someone who ultimately says no thanks. 
butters is a serious talent

[Gawndy the Great 9,011]

Love his work. I think Jacko will prove a masterstroke in time.

Absolutely. LJ (Torana) is a gun, so is Butters. 
i am ecstatic that our recruiting staff identified both boys. 
we are getting sharper at identifying Real Talent

And didn't we also have our hearts set on Mitch Georgiades until Port cut our lunch and got in a bit earlier.

We ended up using that pick on Rivers. I like Rivers but Georgiades looks like he'll be a gun forward for the next 10 years.

As opposed to Rivers who appears to be a very solid defender for the next 12 years?

A good sign that that pretty much every guy JT drafts or wants to draft has turned into a good player. 

 

Let's see how Max Holmes pans out for Geelong - he could be another to add to the list. 

[Nascent 9,054]

We identified Lever and Langdon in their drafts years and worked quietly in the background to bring them to the club. I'm hoping we are trying to do the same for Butters and Georgiades. 

Not that Port lose players they want to keep unfortunately.

Robertson just started getting games for the Lions and didn't look out of place.

It's a nice change to read these stories and think "wow what a good player he'd be here" rather than "yeah but he wouldn't be the same player if he had of been drafted to us" which always used to be said about players we previously decide not to pick (Nik Nat, Martin, Fyfe etc)

[Lord Travis 10,676]

Butters is a gun and I’d take him over everyone our list except Petracca (hides from incoming assault)

i wouldn't go that far but he's definitely one player it's super easy to admire from afar

A philosophical debate which has raged for centuries may finally be put to rest, 'Guns or butter? Why not both?'

[BAMF 4,285]

I doubt we would have been so happy to give up the pick if we had known it would be pick 3. Imagine the angst we would have had on here knowing we had a terrible season with no 1st round pick.... as much as I love the idea of Butters I think Jackson will be something special too.

Not to worry we have Kosi and LJ will prove to be Elite in time.
