Zak Butters spoke to Fox Footy post game.
On the match:
It was a good contest, especially from some of the boys, that was a courageous effort from Weiters to go back with the flight in the first quarter.
If you don’t think the boys were taking it serious, that was the example. It was a great contest.

On playing for Victoria with other superstars:
“I was just so excited to play with a number of these boys.
“You play against them and you think “What would it be like to play with some of them?” Like Nick Daicos and Matty Rowell – he’s one of my favourite players. We played some junior games together for the Big V, so it was great to get back together.”
On his scraps with various WA players, including teammate Mitch Georgiades:
“I don’t know why I picked on him. He’s too big for me. I turned one over early and my housemate Mitch Georgiades had me in a headlock for a little bit, he’s been telling me for a couple of weeks he was going to do that and he did.”
On Origin returning next year:
“Let’s run it back”
