Dan Butler, ankle
“’Buts’ had an ankle syndesmosis sprain, much the same as Kane Lambert. He’d been progressing and building his speed and running about 95 percent, but still with a bit of a limp and still not full power. So last Friday he went in and had the same minor procedure that Kane had this morning, which means he’s going to miss probably the next two games. We’re preparing him for the first final at this stage . . . We’ll get a much better result with this minor surgery. We’ll start him running later this week and build his speed . . .”

Lambert will still have his fitness come finals time, Dan unfortunately hasn't played since the Crows, would need a week or 2 in the VFL
Castagna is one lucky boy. First to go if Dan makes it back. Extremely doubtful word is. Lambert touch and go!

Keep thinking back to this. We've been pretty good in this area for ages but clearly Butler shouldn't have gone back on the ground.

The last time we did that it backfired, but it was Griff & Conca, guys who have always had patchy form. Dunno really, it all depends on Castagna and his form over the next fortnight.

The good thing is the reserves are playing finals so he may get a second game in the VFL and then we have him available only if needed.
Can’t see us going through three finals (touch wood) with the same 22 as we did last year.
Can he play in the VFL first week of their finals - bye weekend for AFL? Not sure if there is a qualifying criteria you need to meet, i.e. played no more than x number of games at AFL level, played x number of games at VFL level?
Reckon he will need to play at least one and be at his usual output to even be considered, if he can't play then not sure the Match Committee would take that risk into a Qualifying Final.

I’m not Butlers biggest fan, however I know his worth to the 22, however does he come back in for the first final ? I wouldn’t want him to come in for Higgins
