Jordon Butts Biography

Jordon Butts is sent to hospital after suffering a collapsed lung during the Crows' clash with the Western Bulldogs at Marvel Stadium.

"It is a collapsed lung, so he won't travel (back) with us now, he'll spend the night here with the right people around him to make sure he gets what he needs from this point on," Crows coach Matthew Nicks said after the game.

Tom Lynch is suspended for five matches for a strike against Crow Jordon Butts that the AFL described as a throwback to a "bygone era".

Lynch's strike was graded as severe impact, intentional conduct and high contact by the Match Review Officer.

Jordon Butts will miss the rest of the season after fracturing his foot during the second quarter of the Crows' 47-point Showdown win over Port Adelaide.

Jordon Butts makes his AFL debut for Adelaide at Adelaide Oval with 8 disposals (4 kicks and 4 handballs), 3 marks and a tackle in a 28-point loss to Geelong.

Jordan Butts signs a two-year contract extension with the Crows to remain at the club until the end of 2021.

“Jordon has impressed everyone with not only his on-field output in the SANFL, but his attitude towards getting the best out of himself," Adelaide list manager Justin Reid said.

Adelaide select Jordon Butts with pick No.39 in the 2018 Rookie Draft.

“Jordon Butts has played a lot of key back as a younger player, and then forward a bit the last two years; probably 50 per cent forward, 50 per cent back," Adelaide recruiting manager Hamish Ogilvie said.

“Played really well in the VFL so we’re backing in his high-level 16, 17-year-old form into the end of this year where he played really well. His senior Grand Final for ‘Shepp’ Bears in the Goulburn Valley League was fantastic, kicked the winning goal.

“He’s got a year to really make a name for himself, improve himself and hopefully keep going a bit further than that.”
