How did Geelong react to the Zak Butters news and what does it mean for their trade plans?
Kane and King. Zabba Bowl. Slog sweep into the arc. That's going all the way for S out. Everts on strike again. That is a I was gonna say it's a beautiful shot. It's a nice looking shot, but it's out. Straight to mid-iron.
was popped up in the air. SEM footy reporter Tom Morris for asset-based lending. Need a business loan and the banks have said no? You still have options if you own assets. Asset baselending.com.au Archie Morris Fair!
That that, you ask, is you rigging your childcare raffle or winning the facial. Which is an uncomfortable conversation that we have to have.
Yeah, yeah. So just don't say the name of the childcare please. Um no, no, just a just as a warning. I've been told by I don't even know what it means. That's okay. No, so I put my name in for it to win a a childcare raffle and I want a free facial, which I'm actually going in on uh on Friday.
Kayna to spend th seven hundred thousand management group.
What do you do? If you w if you win a facial you go in for the facial. I've never had a facial before. But
you didn't rig the raffle.
Didn't well, not quite. So what you do quite. No, i if we're gonna be honest here. Yeah. So when you put your name in to the to the raffle um to the box, I made sure that the sheet of paper was particularly rectangular so it stuck up in the air. So when they pulled it out I got it.
I don't know it actually works. Okay, let's uh continue our discussion in and around Zach Butters. How how have Geelong taken the news?
Oh not only s really surprised, but really disappointed. Yeah, because they feel like they've had the the rug pulled out from underneath them. They thought they had him. Right. In the same way as the dogs thought they didn't have him. So that that's the way it's operated there.
What's their plan now?
What are the key factors that determine whether a trade for Zak Butters will be completed?
They must have some cash to spend.
They've got cash to spend. Looking at Rowan Marshall, looking at Toby Green, who's yet to make his decision as well. They're the two. I'm and we know that um we know that uh Zach Merritt was texted by Chris Scott a couple of months ago as well. So don't be surprised if they have a renewed push for him, even though I do believe he's Hawthorne bound. Right. So I'm sure they have a whiteboard with lots of names, but the Zach Butters thing Because they believed they had him, that's a r that that really hurts them. How does
how does the deal get done finally? Just on last one on Zach.
Well, if they match we'll know we'll know the number. Well, the the media will know the number because Port Adelaide will will um will get informed because they'll know what they need to match. And this is the same as any restricted free agent. Like we knew what Zach Williams was getting paid at Carlton because the Giants were ha the outgoing club is always happy to talk, essentially. Um so if they do match, all year David Koch has been telling people around him it's three first rounders. But I would argue That three first rounders by itself is probably not a great deal for Zach Butters. Pick twelve this year, a first rounder in twenty seven, a first rounder in twenty eight, they could be picks in the twenties.
Yeah. So they'll need at least one pick in the top ten. Dogs would d do that tomorrow. Dogs would do that tomorrow. But this is why the relationship that Michael Regan, the list manager at the Dogs, and Jason Cripps at Port, who worked together for a long time, is really important because there is good faith discussions. We don't want good faith. We want I know you don't want good faith. I know you don't want good faith.
What do you want good faith for? What what do Port Adelaide fans care about good faith and helping the Western Bulldogs? They want the best deal. Yeah, well, good faith for the West there needs to be some pain associated with this. So I get the fact that you can take the compensation pick if you like, and it may even be better than what you're gonna get. But you've got to factor in, you've got to make the other club bleed. This is he's gone to your rival, it's your best player, you've got You can't let him walk there for free.
