2009 U18 Championship highlights reel...

A very confident set shot for my two cents worth... Always kicks through the ball and very composed on the set shot - just goes back, doesnt think about it, runs in and a big, strong kick!

I know it's stupid to judge off that but geez I hope that's not the best highlights they can come up with, just as bad as his other youtube video. He didn't take a mark in that video, got a fair few free's though. Kicking looks better than people make it out to be. Panos looks much better in his video, great pair of hands and great kick and I also saw his game on fox sports, will be a player.
Butcher just gives the thing a whack really. I've seen TAC video where he takes a couple of sensational marks. I hope he has a leap. Remember he was supposed to be carrying niggles and a hand problem at the champs this year. I think he ticks a lot of boxes. I won't be worried if we pick him, IF we can still get a good mid second pick.

Didn't see the game but saw this on Big Footy about yesterdays grand final between Maffra and Traralgon.
Unbelievable finish to a game! As a neutral I wasnt fussed who won either way, but Maffra should have won that game by 6 goals so the right result came thru at the end. Butcher, what do you say, should have won game off own boot, but nearly lost them the game, first time seeing him and very impressed. Dont know who he was but #7 from Maffra was a standout for me in second half.

For the record, Maffra kicked 7.27.69
I went & watched the game yesterday between Maffra & Traralgon. Great finish with a goal after the siren. Butcher......tall....mobile...moves well on a lead & marks well... also runs on after disposing of the ball to make position. Liked that. A lot of talk about him in the crowd due to the expectations in the draft.However, did not like his kicking yesterday. Drops the ball too far from hand to boot. He could quite easily have dominated the game but didn't due to his poor conversion rate. Kicked one goal & I would estimate about 6-7 behinds. He doesn't have an overly childish kicking action like say an Andrew Dunkley but his action needs work. Had he kicked 7 goals one - then his ball drop wouldn't have stood out but it appears a flaw at present. Ordinarily that wouldn't bother me too much except we have proven time & again that if they lack in a skill department....we are unable to fix it when they get to Richmond. Apart from all that he showed a fair bit yesterday for a kid.
Didn't he kick 6 goals from 6 kicks in his second game and then 4 goals in his third?
Then nothing.
Then nothing.
