Ahead of season 12, Dan Butler is still proving how valuable he truly is to the Saints and their mosquito fleet.

An injury-riddled campaign meant Butler could only hit the park six times at AFL level in 2025, yet he proved his value off the field as he entered the leadership group for the first time.

After trading his sash for stripes ahead of 2020, the Premiership Tiger first burst onto the scene in Saints colours during that year’s COVID-affected season, ramming home 29 goals in the abbreviated matches to earn selection in the All-Australian squad by season's end.
