Jordon Butts

Jordon Butts was recruited for "that one-on-one defending and an ability to halve contests", Western Bulldogs list boss Michael Regan says, but a slightly different defensive system might unlock more of the free agent's ball use and offence.

"Not even for a second." Western Bulldogs list boss Michael Regan on whether trading Timothy English was considered. Rory Lobb stays too: contracted and "able to play three pretty integral roles". Finn Maginness adds midfield toughness; Jordon Butts frees up the back half.
