FTFY.

Love the little niggles and antics he's not afraid to get into. Priceless seeing him telling the umpire to **** off when the ump asked Zak to help Libba up off the ground in the 4th quarter.

 

[Macca19]

I didn't think anyone would beat Robbie's 2014 for an individual season for Port, but he's absolutely on track to do just that. I can't recall a player as dominant as him in this run of form and thats including Ollie's brownlow year too. If the votes go his way, he could easily be on 25 votes right now.

Ollie's 2021 > Robbie's 2014 for me.

 

[Macca19]

Ollie's 2021 > Robbie's 2014 for me.

hmm, its a good debate. I still reckon Robbie, despite how dominant Ollie was. Gray should have had the type of polling that Ollie got. Not many players can churn out 145 clearances and over 40 goals in a year. Not even peak GAJ did that.

 

[Cam1870]

You forgot the bit where he was sitting by himself at the casino

At what point did he kick Boaky's dog?

 

[RangaInTeal]

Ollie's 2021 > Robbie's 2014 for me.

Tredrea 2004 > Gray 2014 > Wines 2021

For mine

 

[Ford Fairlane]

He was saying things like "oh no I've ruined my life by being a problem gambler" and "why do my teammates hate me" and "I wish I was as good as George Wardlaw" and "why did I bet the MG that Port Power gifted my stepdad to convince me to leave the otherwise perfect North Melbourne Football Club which I regret every day".

Oh, and when I beat him up everyone in the casino clapped and then a sexy girl with big boobs had some sex with me

Only one girl? Noob.

 

[Butters and Pepper]

Can't wait to see Zak named as the 41st best player in Robbo's top 50 at the end of the season.

 

[DaTBird187]

Seriously wow through

Easter came early?

 

[Mortimer85]

Tredrea 2004 > Gray 2014 > Wines 2021

For mine

Let’s not forget Wanganeen’s 2003 season. Absolutely robbed for the Brownlow

 

[John Who]

Just gotta love this kid as an unbiased footy supporter. He has serious damaging skills and usually does damage with the whole repertoire. Furthermore, whenever opponents try to cause bumps and damage to him, it seems to oddly make him even more damaging!

TLDR - Butters = damage

True, but I think partly because the whole team was full of great players he Was sharing the votes most weeks.

Is that what they paid the 50m penalty for??

Yep. Umpire said it was dissent and you can see Butters telling the umpire to **** off in the previous frame.

While that's hilarious, an umpire telling someone to pick up an opposition player is ridiculous.

 

[TeeKray]

I think we should call him the Red Rattler.

 

[TazD]

I think we should call him the Red Rattler.

Thats pretty good but I think he should be called BLOODY WELL SAID

 

[Jack Grange]

The only player on the ground who would deserve a vote above Butters is Libba, and they were both as C***s around the contest.
Was a good highlight watching the two of them go at each other. Contest within the contest.

Similar stat's however Zac more meters gained more goal assists etc and was simply more damaging/creative. Not taking anything away from Libba.

 

[NoddyHolder]

They should just give him the brownlow during the bye to stop it becoming a distraction as the season goes on

 

[El_Scorcho]

It's been almost 20 years since we had the clearcut best player in the league absolutely dominating week in week out. So nice.

But Butcher played for us less than 10 years ago?

 

[Wombat24]

Butter's will be AFL's Answer to Lionel Messi, an undersized freak, doing stuff not thought of.

And doesn't have stupid tatts

 

[Poo Eckert]

I loved his 45 degree chip kick on the run, amazing
