Dan Butler

[kosifantutti]

What he does have in common with Bartlett is he is brilliant at running back towards a pack in the forward line and being able to read the most likely angle the ball will be deflected (wind, who is in the pack, what angles are they approaching it at) and then times his run to reach that hot spot at full speed.
Then if his judgement is correct he takes the ball on the full and races past stationary defenders to snap a goal, and as we know he is deadly finish.

Bartlett did this better than anyone before or since, and did it for years.

Plenty try to copy it, but the skill set required is unique and elite.
But Butler seems to be the apprentice in residence.
(Wonder if KB gave him some tips at Groperland).

Groperland. I f****** love it. Police should charge the pricks with indecent assault.

Oh we’re from groper
***** AND CRACK
Oh we’re from Groperland

[kosifantutti]

Must be a Richmond thing.

This is Eddie Maguire level foot-in-mouth stuff

[SaintPav]

have you ever seen a better 4 goals by the one player, in the one game. The degree of difficulty, and each so different!!!

What a beauty!

Nope. I’ve been making a point of asking the very same q’n of all Richmond supporters on Twitter today.

How did that go down?

[SaintPav]

Must be a Richmond thing.

Having a dur moment.

Photo shopped, right?

The scandal widened on Friday night with new footage showing two more alleged incidents featuring Tigers captain Jack Riewoldt and St Kilda star Dan Butler.

The Herald Sun first reported that vision of Butler appearing to grope teammate Jake Gresham's genitals and buttocks emerged on Friday night before, spreading across social media sites.

The vision allegedly shows Butler groping Gresham in the dressing rooms after the Saints' win over the Gold Coast Suns on Thursday night.

According to the report in The Herald Sun, Butler has issued an apology.

"It wasn't a premeditated action, and I have spoken to Jade and apologised."

Probably deserves its own thread, but what would the title be?

Saucy Dan (remember the brilliantly titled Saucy Lyon thread)
Dirty Dan (probably confused with Andrews)
The Butler did it!
Dan Hopoate
I'll get you Butler
Doctor Dans confirms Gresh clear of prostate injury
Kancho Dan

[johnearljames]

Must be a Richmond thing. Fingers.

@ dan hopoate


twins
... no doubt about it

[skeptic]

No one looks like they’re being victimised or tormented... come across as razzing btw team mates.

The behaviour is inappropriate and they’ve been told to stop. Really should be the end of it.

Blokes at all footy clubs do stupid stuff. AFL sides should know better. Cameras everywhere these days. You just can't do this stuff anymore at AFL level.

if you worked in an office or say bunnings and carried on with that crap, you would get the sack and probably a smack in the mouth for your troubles

Yes sack them both immediately.
We need to bring Richmond back to the pack.

You must be desperate if you get your footy news from New Zealand.

Butler on Friday night became the third player caught on camera groping a teammate as Nick Vlastuin and Jayden Short apologised to Chol for similar acts.
The incident occurred on Thursday night as the Saints stood in a circle singing the club song after beating Gold Coast.
Butler’s actions were visible on a clip on St Kilda’s website. The 2017 Richmond premiership player joined the Saints this year.
Butler, on Friday night, acknowledged his behaviour “isn’t appropriate and it will not be repeated”.
“It wasn’t a premeditated action, and I have spoken to Jade and apologised.”
Gresham said he was not concerned by the act but said he understood why it is not acceptable.
St Kilda affirmed that “there is no context in which this behaviour is appropriate and will ensure it is not repeated”.

It is clearly a Richmond thing which won't be repeated at St Kilda.

[skeptic]

Are we sacking Butler now too?

[WellardSaint]

The guys won well against the Suns
Then Dan touched Greshy on the buns

Gresh said "That belongs at Tigerland...
You better watch where you put your hand"
Butler says he was off his head
He's keen to touch up the Cats instead

[The Fireman]

he was just checking his oil

[Sainter_Dad]

Dan Butler - Equal second on the Coleman - 1 behind Kennedy (who has a game in hand)

[bigcarl]

Is that why they call him Buts?

[SaintPav]

Nice.

[stevie]

Butts is ambidextrous lol

[stevie]

Newsflash- Richmond players to wear bum masks to stop the spread of clackervirus and Cholid 41

[Stian]

Nice.

C'mon Guys (a generic term), this is just begging for somebody to run a caption competition about what that finger has been doing. Go on - you know you want to!
