Butts officially joins the Bulldogs

Jordon Butts has officially joined the Western Bulldogs, with the club having its paperwork approved for the defender.

The 26-year-old joins the club from the Adelaide Crows, where he has played 94 games for the South Australian side across seven seasons.

This season, the key defender has averaged 11.2 disposals, 5.6 intercept possessions and 2.4 intercept marks across his nine games.

Adelaide will receive Band 3 compensation for his departure, which is currently Pick No.33.

The addition of Butts sees the Bulldogs add to their defensive stocks that ranked ninth for points against.
