One of the original 3 Premiership Amigos departs.
Will miss his bananas.
Good luck Dan.

Good luck Dan.

Frustrated me at times but was part of the 3 Amigos that changed the game in 17 and brought us a flag after 37 years. !

Thank you.
Life member, premiership player.

A bit sad to see Dan go but hope he can forge out a solid career at the saints. Lost a yard after his injury last year. Hope he can get it back.

Thanks Dan for your efforts and being part of the 2017 premiership team. Will always remember your running goals against WC at the G and Port in Adelaide.

Will go well at the Saints. I’m surprised that both Melbourne and Carlton passed him over. Would have been a great pick up for them. I hope he plays particularly well against Carlton for SOS.

Hopefully nobody. The number's been a dud for Dan

#7 is somewhat of another poisoned chalice at the RFC .

Malthouse missed 82 Grannie injured

Michael Mitchell numerous concussions killed off his career at the RFC early .... my favourite player of that era.

Marc Dragacevic - 48 knee reconstructions - career killer

Nathan Brown Broke his leg in 72 places - career killer

Dan Butler - bad syndesmosis injury killed off RFC career

Sad to see Dan go.
Loved his instinctive teamwork with George....... both fast and clever with the ball.
Thanks Dan for being a premiership Tiger in AFL and 2019 VFL

Good luck for the future!

Ash Prescott survived it.

He'll struggle against us he'll be expecting to get slammed by Grimes or Tigga or Broady or Sheds, Stackie, Graham or Lambo

It's a sign of how far we have come to be moving on players like Butts for a late pick and more opportunity. He was a key part of the 2017 forward pressure game.

Dan Butler was a favourite of mine - Ballarat boy and all. Really enjoyed his best games with his verve and dash. Maybe that ankle injury did cost him a yard. Will keep an eye on you at the Saints, Dan.

Hope you flourish there, except against us. Fond memories of another Richmond man that just had to move on.
