Butts joins Bulldogs for five years after eight seasons at Adelaide
Jordon Butts joins the Bulldogs on a five-year deal as Adelaide receives a second-round pick in compensation.
The 26-year-old defender has left the Crows as an unrestricted free agent to join Luke Beveridge's Bulldogs. Butts will team up with existing defenders James O'Donnell and Buku Khamis, who recently signed a five-year extension.
Adelaide receives band three compensation, an extra pick in the second round (currently 33). The Crows had hoped for a band two pick at the end of the first round.
The compensation formula reduced the value. Butts played 94 games over eight seasons in Adelaide colours.
