Jack Martin is a DFA and will be on peanuts.

Surely they can't be in for Butters too though?

 

[dogs105]

please let it be JHF....not that it would be, but he is their best player and it would kill them to lose him

Butters

 

[Crows I Am]

Well that could put them up the pointy end again

They were at the pointy end this year already without him and Smith... just missed out on the GF.

 

[Mutineer]

Certain poster on Geelong board suggesting that a legit Port Adelaide star will request to go to Geelong also.

Butters is a Darley boy so Symonds stadium and Whitten Oval the closest..

 

[Crow till I die]

Butters

Imagine if it happened they got...in one off season.. Oliver, Bailey Smith AND Butters.. Game over for the rest of us

 

[FullyBigKPro]

The part which started with "feels" and ended with "moment"

You think we correctly extended Nicks? You're happy with Silvers and Kelly?

You will be completely fine if all we land is Davis for the off field?

Sorry - have I been watching a different club all last 12 months?

 

[Amacca 23]

Butters is a Darley boy so Symonds stadium and Whitten Oval the closest..

We can only hope he is that would be a self imploding moment

[Peter Doherty]

I seem to recall he he had a seriously bad infected foot at one point ...it was reported "öfficially" to be from a blister but that wasn't the story doing the rounds? It was widely known it was self inflicted from a self attempt at a tattoo. Not the sharpest knife in the drawer is Clayton.

'Tattoo'

[skam85]

You can grasp as straws all you like. He is an expert football commentator you are nobody other than someone with an opinion (just like me). Suggest you listen.

Just stop, you've embarrassed yourself enough.

Expert lol

you guys should kiss

They have 3 so that narrows it down

Be like when they got Dangerfield, Zac Smith, selwood and Henderson in one period. Then followed with Zach Touhy the next

Houston?

5 Straw men in one post? Wow.

Only way better.

 

[FR0GGY]

I’m not sure that Oliver news is anything more than Mclures recycled thoughts this morning.

 

[Crow till I die]

What does that even mean - St Kilda?

 

[Danger in Texas]

Lions fans seem to have liked Davis’ recent work with the forward line, but were less impressed when he was defensive coach

Main thing for me is he’s come from a successful program, so I’m on board

 

[1990crow]

What does that even mean - St Kilda?

Saints didn't invite Battle to theirs because he's leaving them.

 

[Danger in Texas]

What does that even mean - St Kilda?

Reference to Battle not turning up

 

[jackster83]

That is crisp.

 

[FR0GGY]

Houston?

Butters and JHF
