Is it the rolled ankle that has people cooling on Butters, or the potential of Wines to return to decent scoring?
Hypothetically, if he'd rolled it late in Q4 rather than early in Q1 then he gets Wines's CBAs and scores 120 to Wines's 90. Not sure whether that would have given sufficient reassurance to arrest the slide.
Feels a bit bizarre that a Brownlow fancy with a perfect SC role, high ceiling, fantastic draw and in the ideal age range to push 120 might be a relative midfield POD

Hes been in my team all pre season, I really don't see the downside that seems to be common place, if anything I expect him to get even better with more support in the contest, the roles not going to be any worse he spent a mountain of time up forward even while Clarry was out.
Personally have always felt becoming a more well rounded footballer had a greater impact on his scoring improvement than whether or not Clarry was out there.

Spot on, but I was curious whether the drop in Butters ownership was due to people reactively fleeing to Wines or shying away from a premium with a less-than-flawless preseason.
Rd 0 will be interesting. Middling scores from Gulden, Green, Petracca, Miller and positive training reports out of Port might have a few reverting to Butters.

I’ll preface this one by saying I normally avoid Port players to remove any personal bias but I think the fact that it’s been stated multiple times that he’ll only play his preferred role by coaching staff would make him a decent pick.
Coupled with the fact his best seasons SC wise align with the very few full pre seasons he’s had - and he’s had one this season - makes him a good pick.
Throw in the favourable bye and he ticks too many boxes to ignore.

His best SC seasons didnt have AA Level mids in Butters and Rozee and JHF thats only going to get better, its just my view but I really struggle to see the 105+ Wines being a reality anymore, dont question the role think it will be fine I question if the same reliance on him to do everything that led to such good scoring in the past is actually there anymore.
Ive just never been crazy about those mid priced midfield sort of options, they either come out and go at a premium level and youre happy to keep them as your M7-M8 or they make you 50K at best require upgrading and end up essentially nothing picks, just think this years crop are more likely to be the latter category personally then you leave yourself having to chase bulk 600k+ mids.
Always been more than one way to play the game so never going to talk anyone out of playing the game their way but its just not for me.
