Yeah same, doesn’t mean we don’t think Butters isn’t a superstar - he just isn’t as good as Bont, Heeney, Cripps and DaicosCripps is top of the league for contested possessions and clearances while also kicking goals. That's why he's considered a lock, probably also why he's favourite for the Brownlow. Butters has had a bit of an up and down year imo, but I'd still have him in on the bench after Bont, Heeney, Cripps, Daicos in that next bracket with Treloar, Neale etc.
Still a very, very, very good player and a lock for the AA - just not in the starting mid like those mentioned above
