A few weeks ago Kane mentioned that there are some questions over whether Butters seeks a move back to Victoria in the coming years. I am the furthest thing from a Cornes fan, but it is clear he has good mail from Port with his brother being an assistant coach and other personal relationships he has maintained.Cats were mentioned, surprise, surprise!!!
Probably bs, it’s just listeners rumours
Edmund also said (once presented with the listeners text) that the Butters rumours had been doing the rounds(or something along those lines). So I don't think it is ridiculously far fetched. Edmund went on to say apparently he prefers a club in the west (hence the Cats and the Bulldogs were also mentioned) but still very early.
For us, if he does move next year it will probably be a bit early. I am sure players like Butters will want to move to a club that is showing signs of being a contender.
But we will have plenty of $ in the salary cap so who knows. Maybe all our draftees have really good years and he can be swayed to join a developing team and lead the midfield.
