Dan Butler is a dynamic small forward who joined St Kilda in 2020 after being traded from Richmond, where he was a premiership player in 2017. He made an immediate impact at the Saints, booting 29 goals in the abbreviated 2020 season to earn All-Australian squad selection and win the club's leading goalkicker award. Butler won the Ian Stewart Medal and finished runner-up in the Trevor Barker Award that year. Known for his creative kicking skills and spectacular goal-kicking, including snaps and soccer-style finishes, Butler entered the Saints' leadership group in 2025. He also won the Cosgrove-Jenkins Best First Year Player Award at Richmond in 2017.
