@mpole_mike @ChefTom1985 @shanemcinnes Would be very surprised if he’s allowed to umpire a port game for a long time let alone a Butters game given he needs to provide Brownlow votes

@cdthirteen @ChefTom1985 @shanemcinnes Yep. Throw the player under the bus with zero evidence other than that of a very compromised umpire. Let’s count the seconds before he gives his first of many frees against Port the next time he gets a Power game Would he be that vindictive? I’d lay a bet with his employer

He’s disappointed with the result, and to make it worse, is given no reason as to why the verdict is what it is. Not good enough.

@ChefTom1985 @mpole_mike @shanemcinnes That’s literally all it can be though 😂

@mpole_mike @shanemcinnes Haha yeah. Needs to be more than just “we believe the umpire and not the player”

@bradeningram The tribunal findings which will be….. nothing

I understand the AFL players association is incensed by the Zak Butters decision. Its chief James Gallagher has already spoken with the Port star who is understandably livid. A decision on whether the Power appeal will wait until the club receives the tribunal’s findings tomorrow. @FootyonNine

@joshmoney__ @7AFL @7NewsAdelaide Hopefully we take it further

Butters statement 👇🏻@7AFL @7NewsAdelaide

@cleary_mitch @7NewsMelbourne @7NewsAdelaide @7AFL Best sport in the world, worst league in the world stands true again

Port Adelaide’s Zak Butters found guilty of Abusive, Insulting, Threatening or Obscene Language Towards or in Relation to an Umpire. He’s been fined $1500 @7NewsMelbourne @7NewsAdelaide @7AFL

@PAFC 1 more key forward injury and we're done then

Jack Lukosius will be sidelined for a period of time as he manages a groin issue 🤕 📰 bit.ly/4vjeu0K

@StevoMedia Do you go out of your way to ragebait daily?

Having worked with Nick Foot, it is nonsense to suggest a job with Sportsbet to analyse racing impacts on his role as an umpire. 👇

@beetgordon_ @AflGlicko Travis Boak and Nathan Jones arent even in the same postcode

@AflGlicko Wild take when Travis Boak and Nathan Jones are right there (let alone a bunch of guys from the pre-80s who wouldn’t come close)

Blicavs the worst 300 gamer might be in contention for worst take of the year. Enough Twitter for today.

@Bic88 @PerriW2345 @NicNegrepontis Caro

@PerriW2345 @NicNegrepontis Who else reported it?

Wouldn’t get your hopes up. Greg Swann was pretty adamant on SEN on Monday that these changes were happening this year.

@DavesLlama @FootyonNine Spot on

@FootyonNine Makes sense - you can't change the rules for a draft that teams have been planning for over the past two seasons. Port took 0 players in the draft, choosing to get capital into next draft to match bids using CURRENT rules. You can't then go change those rules.

"There is a growing hope" Damian Barrett gives #9FootyClassified the details on Port's 'last-ditch bid' alongside Carlton and Essendon to delay the AFL's looming draft changes.

@Ronbishop97 @Addyant23 FK count would be 75-0

@Addyant23 Elani nicholls and foot will umpire port vs hawks

One thing's for sure, Nick Foot cannot umpire another Port game regardless of the outcome of this imo.

@PAFC Take it as far as you can. Fuck Foot

Zak Butters has been referred to the AFL Tribunal for an incident during Sunday's game against St Kilda. The club will defend in the strongest possible way the allegations made against Butters. portadelaidefc.com.au/news/1996038

@rockwiz38 More than a few

Butters vs Foot… “How’s that a free” or “how much they paying you” Firstly, surely neither of them is reportable - bit precious. How they don’t have audio is unbelievable. I believe Zak’s version, and if proven correct, Foot should be having a few weeks off

@AFL AFL - “Zak did you say this?” Zak - “No, can you prove I did?” AFL - “No” Case closed

Zak Butters has been sent straight to the Tribunal for abusive and insulting language toward an umpire. Details: afl.com.au/news/1497893

@DavidZita1 @FOXFOOTY Fair question

Zak Butters has been referred directly to the AFL Tribunal after being charged with Abusive and Insulting Language Towards an Umpire.    It is alleged Butters said to Umpire Nick Foot, “How much are they paying you?” @FOXFOOTY

@banksyfh4959682 @Craig253601Ryan @RalphyHeraldSun Fair. Doesnt pass the pub test at all if he cops a fine for this either way

@cdthirteen @Craig253601Ryan @RalphyHeraldSun It didn't but I'd say the AFL will weigh the word of an AFL employed umpire far more heavily than opposition players.

We officially have Collard 2.0. Nick Foot is doubling down, has told the AFL today he heard Butters say something much stronger than a query about why he paid a decision. Port backing Butters. If neither party backs down by late this arvo we are likely off to a tribunal, which could hear the case ungraded. How else can the AFL solve it? The ump microphones weren’t turned off, they just didn’t pick up the exchange 👇 heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/the-…

@banksyfh4959682 @Craig253601Ryan @RalphyHeraldSun That didnt suffice for Collard though did it

@Craig253601Ryan @RalphyHeraldSun They do. A stat dec/statement from Foot will suffice.

@RalphyHeraldSun If they just didnt pick up the exchange surely release them so we can see for ourselves

@kanecornes Depends if the AFL can find his brownlow voting slip. Everything else seems to be missing

Does Foot give Butters Brownlow votes?

@tommorris32 @stkildafc Will Bobby Hill be back in Adelaide on Wednesday?

While the bulk of @stkildafc’s senior squad will set up a week-long camp in Glenelg today, the club gave any fathers the chance to fly home for two nights. Jack Silvagni, Bradley Hill & Liam Ryan left this morning and will be back in Adelaide on Wednesday ahead of Saturday’s game. Main training is Thursday and players who aren’t in the senior squad will dial in for key team meetings across the week. @1116sen @AFLNation
