TM Butcher is to big of a risk.
We're not in a position to have a pick 3 backfire.
Martin is a very very good player. Butcher may have a longer potential bar. But Martin has more certainty.
If we had pick 6 or 7 I'd be fine with going for Butcher but pick 3 you have to go with sure bets.
your 100% correct we cannot have our pick 3 backfire because our club really is depending on it.
Every draftee is a risk & some dont handle the step up & preasure too well or living away from mummy
Some dont take to the den mums to well or thier cooking & venture out to eat things not keeping to thier diets
Some are handfuls and get led astray
& lads with different cultures find it even harder so anything can go wrong
well l'm happy to get Martin if his going to become another Ben Cousins & he will have a good teacher in Ben.
His build & skills are good & l'm not disputing anything about him or have l said anything negative about Martin, l just feel we need a taller body
l dont see Butcher as any risk as his fixed & ready to go
