Can the Richmond Football Club afford to take John Butcher?
- Thread starter Scoop
- Start date
It's not whether or not we can afford to take him, we need to make the decision on who to draft purely on who is the best player to help us win a premiership. 30 odd years of rubbish still means nothing in the draft, we pick the best player there if he is a risky choice or not.

Chances are it is true because Hawthorn appear to be going through the AFL prospectus and making late night phone calls to every AFL defender under the age of 30.
For a club so famous for it's high quality strategic list management they are doing an awfully good impression of a headless chook this off season.

It's not an outrageous idea if they actually want him (which I have no idea if they do or don't). But but the other thing about Hawthorn is that they are notoriously stingy at the trade table so I wouldn't hold my breath that they'll actually get to many trades done. If they get a KPP defender and manage the Burgoyne trade I'll be surprised.
Just 'coz they want a Roller for the price of a Beetle doesn't mean they are stingy. The pelican likes to think of himself as an astute trader.Col.W.Kurtz said:
Many experts had a snigger when Harvey said he would play Tarrant at FB in 09. By seasons end many of these same experts were saying it was a move that saved Tarrants career. Considering Tarrant has been in the game as long if not longer than Schulz I don't see why us trying a similar move is so outrageous.

I'm sure he does, but the club has been much better at selling guys off than getting people in.
I know the kids been sick this year an he is a dodgy kick, however is he at all worth a look, was highly touted junior, great grab I believe an very good athlete?
I just read your first post on him Scoop....I can hardly remember seein him play I know he was kicking like James Manson when he started but they were going thruSCOOP said:
Why would we be snooping after the Butcher? It's taken both a while to have much effect but I'd currently rate the Griffinator ahead of the Butcher.
Terrible kick hasn't improved from his junior days .James Manson comparison is flattering for him .
1goal 7 behinds 2 out of bounds on the full in Maffra seniors 2009 grand final win should have been a warning of things to come .
Maffra won kicking 7-27 -69 amazing win .

Thought he had a couple of decent games n a couple of bags for Port. Injuries n illness have severely restricted his output over the years, reckon the Griff's got more strings in his bow n greater potential for us though.
