The Royals have carried us
Sam Butler says the East Perth players, not the Eagles players, are to thank for the Royals super season
“I’m obviously super excited,” he said.
“It’s going to be great, East Perth haven’t won one since 2002.
“I’ve never played in a WAFL Grand Final before, so I can’t wait.”
Butler also was quick to stop any talk to the Eagles alignment being solely responsible for the Royals sensational season, saying it was wide of the mark.
“It has been controversial, but Peel, Fremantle’s team, came last, so I don’t think that’s the way it’s going to go forever,” he said.
“East Perth played in the Grand Final last year; the East Perth players have been our best players all year, not the West Coast players.”
