Zac Butters?? I. DON'T. CARE.

The OP definitely has a romanticism notion about it. That’s what our club has survived on since day one.

Draft, develop our own talents. “Born in blood and boots” if you will.

Sadly, romanticism is for the dreamers. It is a throwback to the bygone era, one that sadly doesn’t exist anymore.

The game has changed.

Losing champions like Ward & Griffen, players of the ilk of Dunkley and B.Smith makes it near on impossible not to chase stars like Butters when the opportunity presents.

I wouldn't include Treloar as a cast offs and he has turned out to be an AA player.

He's no cast off but the Pies had no choice but to clear him off their books, right place right time for us, i have no doubt if he had a choice he would have remained a Pie.

He could have ended up at another club

When this happens, I want to make sure me and others who posted stupid made up rumours for years are showered with appropriate acknowledgement and glory for willing it to happen.

Who is that bloke who checks receipts? Time for an audit.
