Yep- pretty proud to say he was a PAFC player. Limited ability compared with team mates of his era, but never shirked a contest and was a fantastic leader in difficult times.

Inaugural AFL premiership player of the PAFC is something to be pretty proud of.

The boys must to get a win for him. You do not under any circumstances, send champions of your club out with a loss.

Congratulations Dom on a fine career.

Vastly underrated player Cassisi .. Good hands. good tackler, good footskills and most importantly one of the rarer qualities, good composure. Similar (with differences obviously) to how I viewed Tyson Edwards.

Congrats on a great career to a great bloke. I run into Power and Crows players regularly at work and Dom is one of the guys who always says G'day. He never has that air of arrogance about him and is nice to everyone having never got carried away with his own stardom. Says a lot about the character of the bloke. One of those guys who never had shit games. he was consistent, hard at it, highly under rated and often inspirational.

I for one will miss him playing for the Power. its really easy to cheer for good blokes.

Yep agreed, someone you could always trust to put the team before the individual in every aspect and not just trying to create the perception of doing so.

Here is the video of Dom announcing his retirement to the playing group:



Hard to watch a man so jovial around the playing group react like that.

Get a win for him port- 14 years of magnificent service and a champion of this mighty footy club.

I've been saying that for weeks now, and now my wife has jumped on board.

Butcher is going to have to do something remarkable if he wants to keep his spot on the list next season.

An article on Fox Footy suggested the Bulldogs go after Butcher in the off season trade period.

Should have seen the reaction from dogs fans :lol:

Videos like this is what Port have started doing really well this season and I wish AFC did it more. They have made the club and the inner workings very accessible to the supporters which I think is great.

The article was talking about giving up a 2nd round pick for him as being "a good deal for both clubs".

No superlatives would adequately describe the win for Port in that trade :D

Agreed FS. We were very poor at interacting with our members 3-5 years ago, which was a major focus for KT when he came on board as CEO.

Its changed ten fold and as a supporter- I feel very much a part of the club, and its great that we get to see these types of videos to see first hand just how passionate these types of characters are about their club.

Yep- my eyes welled when he spoke about how proud he was to be a one club player.

Looking forward to getting there on sunday to send him off (hopefully) in style.
