Monk I'll keep it simple.
Martin was a star junior and I was 100% in support to draft him, as was probably 90% of the forum. I don't need to find evidence it's all the way through the threads on countless occasions. Butcher was injured and had a terrible kicking style. His 1 goal and 8 behinds in his GF simple confirmed he wasn't a top 3 pick. There is nothing wrong with him getting drafted but I'm glad you weren't in charge of the recruiting department because if we had an injured Butcher with kicking problems on our list instead of Martin, the place could have self destructed by now.
Thats great for you that you can afford multiple membership across multiple clubs. A perfect example of someone having more money than sense.
Have no memory of you going on about Tuck, in fact I think everyone was supporting Tuck to comeback. If you have got one right out of 100 then congrats. You wont find me saying anything bad about Tuck. I don't bash our players like you do.
On a personal level I don't need to convince myself I'm better than someone on a forum lol, you validate it for me every time you post and embarrass yourself. Keep the insults coming old man.
A simple reply from a forum troll 
Let me tell you FACT about Butcher's Grand Final game. firstly l was there & witnessed it, The ground was belted with winds so bad that every player on the ground had problems that day so that just beat up your little football knowledge & bagging of Butcher. just getting the ball for a big player as much as he did that day was a excellent effort. On a good day that would have been 9 goals cause he was on fire. He also had a back injury playing that day 
every ground in the Gippsland that day was belted with gale force winds & your bagging a player for 1G 8B
premiership favorites had shock defeats Mr Football
Now Martin was the perfect choice when getting talent & is one of the better 1st year drafts l seen at top level & good on the lad l never disputed his talent. My prefered choice of draft was a taller player player to possibly fill 1 of 3 positions 
But you mouth never mentioned Martin till the media mentioned him cause you aint got a clue & you already proved that cause you always avoid my points
l answered all your points but you who say your connected with Eastern Ranges ah ah rubbish l enjoy your posts Popelord.
becareful Popelord cause l never show all my cards up front & have some surprised up my sleeve for you
did you enjoy your Adelaide trip with ya mates
I can hardly read your post with all your circus drawings.
Martin was easily number 1 choice. Recruiting you always go best available you don't waste a pick 3 pick on the best tall when his currency is at best a last first rounder.
Ive never bagged Butcher., he'll be a fine player but he was never a top 3-4 pick. He kicked 1 goal 8 behinds and 2 out on the full. Can't have been that bad to have a key posistion player have 11 shots on goal.
When you draft forwards the most important KPI is goal accuracy. You can get as much of the ball as you want but if they can't kick then you have question marks.
How many times you want to contradict yourself..
You say Butcher was injured and should be excused for his performance. He's still injured, yet you are in and under in the arguments to bag Griffiths when he went down at Coburg and how we shouldn't have drafted an injured player.. I remember this argument.
You say we shouldn't analyse his ability on one performance. Well that's exactly what drafting is all about. Picking the talent from as much info as possible. There are only so many performances do be judged on at 17 years old. Yet you'll happily criticise Riewoldt our KPP at 20 years old on his one off bad performances and run his name through the mud.
Pick an argument Monk.
You don't even make sense talking about Eastern Ranges and I'm not interested in what you hide up your sleeves....
Adelaide trip was good mate, went to "The Palace" I'm sure you've been there a few times.
