Player Watch Pick #12 (2018) - Zak Butters

[Chrizzt]

Serial non finals performer. Didn't need to spud it up this finals series to prove it but he did anyway. A 6 year old career that already has 3 prelim losses and a straight sets finals exit to its name, playing badly in almost every final. Pretender.

Oh but poor Buttsy has sore ribs OwO

 

[Progressive Aggresion]

Brave Butters played through finals with cracked rib

Zak Butters played in Port Adelaide's semi-final and preliminary final with a rib injury

So the club medically lied... again...

Credit to Zak for his persistence to play through it though.

If I hear anyone on here questioning his toughness they clearly lack brain cells

Broken collarbone as well and still put together an AA season

Amazing player

Respectable last two finals as well, against Sydney got tagged as well, we can give him leaway. Hawthorn game was definitely better than his mediocre Sydney game though but considering the circumstances

 

[Tibbs]

I cant believe there are buffoons here blaming Butters for our poor run in finals! For real?

No 1 law of football clubs: THE PLAYERS ARE NEVER TO BLAME!!

 

[PJ Power]

Makes a lot of sense. Remarkably brave.

The club lied about an injury? Shocked to be sitting here........again.........and again........and again.

Of course they did. Also - they did the right thing on this case.

They lied to protect him. Hey opposition - Zac has a cracked rib but he’s playing - go your hardest. V Zac has a bit of bruising.

TeeKray is a fan of Boak and Wines which is why he tries to shift blame to Butters.

We dont need to worry about Butters in finals. Its all Wines, Boak, Rozee

Glenelg trying to recruit his best mate for next season.

Will move in together.... Hopefully helping to keep Zak here and him re-signing.

Make no mistake, Zak well aware of the midfield he's in and loves the club. Big chance to extend him end of next season.

Yep gutsy effort..

Can we tip a few $$$ to Glenelg to up their offer …

 

[Port01]

nothing to do with Zac but why do I immediately feel this was only released to give Kenny some more excuses

Exactly what I also heard Zac.

 

[Duck Farmer]

Fck I hope none of our players do well in the Brownlow

 

[gbear]

Remarkable to be playing with any kind of rib fracture.

 

[all seeing eye]

Need to make him and Bergman grandfather deals.

 

[Peninsula Boy]

Bloody good effort, Zak.

Hopefully we can make finals next year without Hinkley and Butters can show what he can do.

Who we talking about here?

I think it’s Billy Myers

yep, good on Butters for playing on, he definitely is one of very few that actually was brave. But gee whiz all of a sudden the list Hinkley said was the best ever is an average list, and the squad that Hinkley said was in much better shape pre finals was completely banged up again.

It's not me it's us, yada yada yada.

Blind Freddie could see he was injured but some posters are blinder than blind. Zak is a legit hard nut with superstar abilities.

It doesn't matter if the club lied about his conditions and it prevented Hawthorn and Sydney finding out.

It is an issue if they lied to him.
