Lets see if Butler can go the journey and play at the level he is now for the rest of the season, he would be used to getting the 5th or 6th defender when he was at Richmond and now he is showing some form and being the main event lets see how he handles it when he manned up closer and by better players.
Sam Walsh has come under more attention and Jack Martin was heavily tagged last game and its the class players who can handle that extra attention week in and week out who are a cut above the rest and I want to see how Butler performs before I label him a recruiting fail on our behalf.
In fairness to SOS he probably thought he had Papley across the line before Essendon fecked up the Daniher move and in turn the Papley trade. With Papley, Eddie and Martin all likely he probably felt Butler was one too many of that ilk.
