AFL:'I'm different': Port coach on chase for Butters

Port Adelaide's Josh Carr is taking notice of a batch of rival coaches openly discussing their chase for Power ace Zak Butters.

Carr stops short - just - of criticising his counterparts for their public pursuit of Butters.

"I'm probably a little bit different than some coaches," Carr told reporters on Friday.

"Those conversations, if I do have them, you guys (media) won't know about.

"I always love when a coach starts with 'I don't really like talking about other clubs' players', but then go for four-and-a-half, five minutes in talking about it.

"I'm different to that and ... you're talking about Bevo's conversations and media that he did and, yeah, I would tackle it a bit differently."

"Bevo" is Western Bulldogs coach Luke Beveridge, who has openly addressed the Dogs' desire to lure Butters on numerous occasions.
