Butler's move

[Bruce G McAbee]

In the second quarter when Rich had a free kick near our goal square and he positioned himself behind Rich and as soon as play on was called he went after him and affected his kick.
This is definitely a tactic we should do more often to create pressure on the opposition.

Yep, noticed that. Good pick up.

Absolutely, really good move. Thought he was good last night Butler. Unlucky to have his goal overturned.

Was aggressive and brought the heat

[The Fireman]

Butler needs to be dropped

I agree. Had our second highest number of pressure points, just behind Steele and way ahead of everyone else. Played an important role.

Butler needs to be dropped

Disagree - it will turn for him soon

As mentioned his endeavor & effort yesterday could not be faulted

[B.M]

Butler was StK lowest rated player

Continually gave away soft frees and looks horribly out of form

Needs to get back to doing the basics well

Hope your right but I’ve waited too long

[B.M]

He’s actually had an ordinary year, and if it weren’t for last season’s performance he would’ve been dropped by now.

Yeah, but apparently it’s very hard to get kicks in the forward line.

[kosifantutti]

Where was Butler’s opponent?
The tactic seemed to work but is it something that can be done regularly?

Also interesting was Hill running behind Webster at the kick out. It looked good but how does it compare to Hill just taking the kick and charging off in that direction?

[B.M]

Yes it is

You have a defender on you

You have less room to operate

And you’re reliant on delivery from others

Common sense stuff really

So in the meantime, you chase, harass, tackle and make yourself dangerous for the opposition. I thought he did all that very well and was very team oriented last night.

[The_Dud]

Butler needs to be kicking goals, and unfortunately he’s not doing much of that lately. I’d have him behind both Higgins and Long in the small forward role.

While other players run around the park not marked, doing whatever they like. Reality is it’s tough everywhere at AFL level.

Hmm

Let me see, just from the last game

Steele 32 Mid
Dunstan 29 Mid
Hones 26 Mid
Hill 25 HB
Ross 24 Wing
Billings 24 HF/Wing
Crouch 23 Mid
Sinclair 21 HB
Webster 19 BP
Wilkie 18 CHB

Top 10 possession winners

Not many forwards there?

Oh here we go again with snide remarks and put downs. I think there is another post somewhere recently where you were proven wrong about blind reliance on data. You wouldn’t know one thing about me and what I have done. But as I have been told this site is about opinions and debate. Perhaps you need to go about it without snide remarks and put downs. Or is it that you can’t cope when someone challenges you?

[Teflon]

Me too
I’d spell him he needs a shake up
Higgins back in Butler out

Or you can’t admit when you’re wrong

I (like coaches) will use data to state the facts

In this case
To support my notion that it’s easier to get a kick as a Midfielder (and defender) than it is as a forward.

Keep up the snide remarks and put downs. I’m glad they make you feel good.

Don’t worry about me

Worry about the argument

Then drop the snide remarks and put downs. If your argument is so good, you should not need to resort to them, unless you get some sort of weird gratification from it.
