Sam Butler

Anyway, Adelaide defender Max, uh, Michelotti will miss the opening round of the 2020 season after failing to overturn his one-match ban at the AFL Tribunal last night.

Box Hill will appeal Sam Butler's Too Much suspension at the, uh, VFL Appeal Board today.

Butler is set to miss this weekend's VFL Grand Final and will be unavailable for selection in the AFL after being banned for two games for a high bump on Essendon's Harrison Jones.

Mm-hmm.

Hard luck story for someone else, but good luck story for Cody.

It may be a hard luck story for Sam Butler or...

Either way, because he is...

Well, apparently he had scans on his hamstring, but that seems to be fine.

And I suppose that's my cue to edit in the outcome here.

Sadly, the suspension was upheld.

Sam Butler will miss two matches.

That means he's unavailable to play the VFL grand final and would be unavailable for selection for the AFL grand final should Hawthorne qualify.

With the way he moved the footy.

They're going to have to find a replacement in there, Sam Butler.

Not only was he unfortunately suspended, he's also injured his hamstring in that game.

So there will need to be another Box Hill Hawk coming to that side.

Oh, the Butler did it, Hutchy.

Sam Butler, talk about stiff.

He's been done for two weeks for this bump in the VFL prelim.

Oh.

As you say, four goals too from eight touches.

Sam Butler, you mentioned before, yeah, he's absolutely keen to get back to the side to somehow find a spot and play finals footy again with the senior side.

23 touches, six marks, five tackles and kicked three goals too.

It's those two, Butler and Deer, they did the damage up forward for Box Hill.

Kal Shadir kicked four, so he could be maybe in consideration, but I doubt it.

The other one there is probably Sam Butler.

Three goals and 23 disposals in that game.

Five tackles, six marks included in that as well.

They need a few more players like that.

I think I've harped on quite a lot about they have too many sort of halfback flanker types.

I think Sam Butler can play inside, he can play outside, he can play forward, he can play back, he can play in the middle.

He's in that age bracket as well, early, mid-20s.

He is injured.

For West Coast, Jack Hutcherson, Beau Allen, and Ryan Merrick are in Four Hawthorn, Jack Dalton, Ned Reeves, Sam Butler, Kyle Shadrer in.

How do you see this one playing out? It's in the West.

Yeah.
