Daniel BUTLER

2017 Digest:   Now in his third season on the list and ready to make an impact. Showed plenty in JLT outings with his pace in the front half. Round 1 bolter?

2017 NAB Cup:  

2017 Season

1	Carl	Debutant was lively with two goals from 19 disposals. Got some speed and smarts about his game.	7
2	Coll	13 disposals and a goal, the odd good moment, but things didn’t fall his way quite as they did in Round 1.	3
3	WCE	Real livewire up forward the most dangerous small in the game. 17 disposals, two goals.	7
4	Bris	Was on the receiving end of an unselfish Rioli handpass in the goal square for his only major. Even effort.	5
5	Melb	Quiet night overall, but bobbed up to boot a handy goal off the deck. Got in the face of a few Dees and showed some spunk.	4
6	Adel	Five inside-50’s and a goal in the first term but very little after that.	3
7	WB	Beautiful pick up and snap goal in first term. Did a handful of good things.	5
8	Frem	Quiet afternoon. Didn’t kick a goal and only offered up two inside-50s. Four kicks for the game.	2
9		Groin.
10		Groin.
11	NM	Came in to grab 13 disposals, two goals and four inside-50s. Did his job for the team.	5
12		Bye.
13	Syd	Barely sighted at half forward. Not his best game thus far this year.	2
14	Carl	Tackled hard in front half, but didn’t get a lot of the footy. Bobbed up with two important last-term goals.	5
15	Port	Three goals from eight disposals is a ‘Cyril’ type of performance, including a contender for goal of the year and six tackles.	7
16	StK	Bobbed up a few times but wasn't a sustained performer.	4
17	Bris	Early goal, then had a few bad moments. Bobbed up again a few times in second half to end with three goals.	6
18	GWS	Youngster couldn’t get into the game at all. No goals, two inside-50s and two tackles.	3
19	GCS	Very quiet. Just the seven possessions, though involved in two score assists.	3
20	Haw	Eleven kicks and missed two chances for goal. Handy with his pressure.	4
21	Geel	Kicked a long goal in the second term but other than that was hardly sighted. Tried hard with 6 tackles but needed more.	3
22	Frem	Kicked three goals. A damaging small forward.	6
23	StK	Second-term goal and another in the final term to go with a tackle and four inside-50s.	5
QF	Geel	One goal from three effective possessions in a quiet day from the small forward.	2
PF	GWS	Quiet night and a bit fumbly, but ended with two goals and six tackles. They’ll take that.	4
GF	Adel	One kick in opening half and five for the game for one goal. Four tackles.	4
