He's arguably their best player of the 1997+ era. Port are doing the right thing. Butters is that good.

Well this is interesting then because if he doesn't sign soon then he's likely gone.Comment

I don't mean to alarm everyone, But.........
Butters is seriously damaged goods.*
His right knee is complete cactus.*
He may or may not have a significant substance abuse problem.*
He is a completely disruptive presence in the change rooms.*
He has been to known to threaten players off field.*
* None of these items are true, but journalists reading this page do not scroll down past 2 paragraphs. so these should drive his price to us down a bit.........Comment

TASSIE TO TARGET LOCAL SIGNINGS
TASMANIA is set to make a concerted effort to target local prospects in its first ever list build, with the League's new expansion side hoping to profit from the state's recent batch of talented draftees.
North Melbourne speedster Colby McKercher, Western Bulldogs ball magnet Ryley Sanders and Greater Western Sydney utility James Leake were among an elite bunch of Tasmanians taken with first-round picks in 2023.
All three are yet to extend beyond their initial three-year rookie deals, with Tasmania's first ever list manager Todd Patterson telling AFL.com.au's trade and draft show Gettable that local prospects would be priority targets for the Devils.
"We want Tasmanians to play for Tasmania," Patterson said.
"They've clearly got commitments they need to fulfil at the moment. We'll be looking to get the best talent possible. Clearly, at the moment, Tasmania is producing some really good talent out in the competition. Hopefully, those two things can come together."
Tasmania is expected to take an aggressive approach to its first series of rival signings and will likely have a host of early draft picks it must trade to secure experienced recruits.
Combined with a sign-on bonus fund of more than $1 million, it could push the salary of Tasmania's highest paid player beyond the $2 million mark. However, Patterson said much of that will depend on the next CBA negotiations.
"Clearly, the landscape has changed since the last CBA," Patterson said.
"We're mindful that there will be another one coming up and some mechanisms that will probably give us the opportunity, for the right player, to land on the right contract. Whether it be to that value or not, time will tell.
"The market has clearly changed a lot and that's something we'll need to monitor over the next couple of years. Whether we end up at numbers like that, the CBA will dictate a bit." – Riley Beveridge
