* Conners reckons his previous uncomplimentary comments about Port were taken out of context and related to Andrew Lovett and that he had suggested Port should focus on using pick 8/9 on a player rather than on a player like that who didn't want to come.

Hmmm....

"No one wants to play at Port Adelaide," Connors said.

What other possible context is there?! You can't get much more black and white than that.

Just to ensure everyone is clear:

"But I think what we've said is he'll come home, his dad's involved with junior football at Gipplsand Power and we'll have a discussion with his family and find out what he wants to do.

What he actually said in context is:

"But I think what we've said is he'll come home to discuss his choice with his family, his dad's involved with junior football at Gipplsand Power and we'll have a discussion with his family and find out what he wants to do.

Did not suggest at all in the interview that Butcher wants to come home, will come home etc.
 
Jackson has spoken.

Well done Alipate Carlile and Andrew Moore on committing to this great club, Butcher to go then lots of hard work. #futureisbright

Heed the Jackson.
 
i think hes gone, but i doubt we would even trade him to a Victorian club he is now most like to enter the ND and be taken by GWS or simply redrafted by us

His manager has indicated he's had no discussions with GWS whatsoever (about Butcher).

I still think our GWS target may be another tall forward.

Some of the shit spoken in the comments section by Carlton and Hawthorn fans about us being a basketcase is mindblowing. Five years ago these clubs were circling the toilet bowl.

Revenge is a dish best served cold.

Don't get me excited about Westhoff going :) In Butch we trust, Amen
 
"Extree extree! Read all about it! Port Power midfielder Jake Trentgrove says Butcher to go home! Extree..."

Another bad news story for the cash strapped Power Shuttsy?

That's right Mark. 10 news understands the bankrupt Power ...
 
Footy Classified alluding to Butcher returning to Melbourne again. These clowns can't help themselves.

3 weeks ago they didn't know who he was or cared

They were carrying on about this last week on FC as well. IIRC, Lyon, Caro & Hutchison were saying things like "the word from Maffra is that he wants to come home" whilst having a chuckle at their own little joke.

The only reason he reportedly wants to leave the club is the lure of returning "home"... so if that can't happen why would he enter the ND and pack his bags for GWS?:rolleyes:
 
Doubt Paul Connors would be flying to Adelaide to simply say "there's a few clubs interested in you."

He'd be flying primarily to sign up a deal with Port, but being a Manager would have to give the kid his options (but be pretty surprised if Butcher decides to leave)

If he did go elsewhere, find it really hard to know his worth, he's had a great 4 weeks, but that doesn't make a career (look at Kosi). Does put him into a good bargaining situation with Port, though
