Gun key forward, to clarify of which I think Burton classifies.Just a gun forward in general or a gun key forward?
Really doubt it. Apparently there was a falling out between the Crows and his father who used to work for them. And I think he was on record pre-draft saying he wanted to be at a Victorian club. But you never know.What is Burtons contract status? Any chance he pulls a reverse Gunston and goes home to Adelaide?
He's listed at 191cm and 90kg. That's more of a flanker build. But he has played at CHB a lot this year and excelled. I reckon his best will probably come with more midfield minutes.Gun key forward, to clarify of which I think Burton classifies.
Reminds me of a Pavlich I reckon (key forward with ability to play midfield and back to great effect). And that is serious praise.
Small/medium forwards are easier (but still not easy!) to find

And Dunstall is 1.88m.Pavlich is 1.92m.
You are putting Burton in the same class as Fyfe, Dangerfield, Bontempelli now?!And Dunstall is 1.88m.
Both played in significantly different periods. We're now frequently seeing KPPs up around 200cm+ and 100kg.
Burton has the class to play loose in those positions but his biggest weakness is that he can't physically match those bigger opponents for strength. He'll never be that big either.
Playing primarily midfield and then pushing forward (or sitting back) as a 3rd tall will be how he'll dominate games. Just like similar sized players in Fyfe, Dangerfield and Bontempelli do now.
He is saying that he will play a similar role to those types of players. No one is saying he is as good as those players at this stage of his career.You are putting Burton in the same class as Fyfe, Dangerfield, Bontempelli now?!
Read the post after yours. You really like trying to twist people's words, don't you?You are putting Burton in the same class as Fyfe, Dangerfield, Bontempelli now?!
Ah no, he said he'll "dominate games" the way those players do. It's there in black and white. Maybe he needs to phrase it better or keep it in his pants a bit moreHe is saying that he will play a similar role to those types of players.

just keep it in your pants mateRead the post after yours. You really like trying to twist people's words, don't you?

Precisely my point. You think Burton is going to be as good as those players."Playing primarily midfield and then pushing forward (or sitting back) as a 3rd tall will be how he'll dominate games. Just like similar sized players in Fyfe, Dangerfield and Bontempelli do now."

Fancy having to teach you stuff preps learn.
I'm sure you'll have a bitch fit about me suggesting he will be just like those 3 other players are now. So let me just beat you to that and clarify that he'll be better.
It's not unreasonable to think that given he's likely leading the race for this award. Or are you the thought police as well as the fun police?Precisely my point. You think Burton is going to be as good as those players.
I say again. Keep it in your pants, lol. Just casually suggesting he'll be a top 3 player in the game. Lol
You think "leading" the RS - whatever that means given its a completely fictitious concept - means that he can reasonably be projected as a top 3 player in the game???It's not unreasonable to think that given he's likely leading the race for this award. Or are you the thought police as well as the fun police?
That's "top 1" thanks. When can I get that hook back?You think "leading" the RS - whatever that means given its a completely fictitious concept - means that he can reasonably be projected as a top 3 player in the game???
Hahaha dude you're entitled to think whatever you want, just as I'm entitled to find it ******* hilarious
Hipwood will have a couple of 4+ goal games during the rest of the season and end up with between 35-40 goals for the season, a shoe in for the award. Not many KPFs do that in their second season let alone with a bottom side that is on starvation rations for forward 50 entries.
Ah right, you're just trolling, sureThat's "top 1" thanks. When can I get that hook back?
Well obviously I think Burton is the best thing since sliced bread, but definite future 'top 1' in the game based solely on his placing in this award? Well that's only probably true.Ah right, you're just trolling, sure
Precisely my point. You think Burton is going to be as good as those players.

Just delete this god awful thread and start again, because this is an absolute train wreck.
You mean, since Burton has overtaken McGrath as favorite?.....Yes, I can see why you'd say that.
Because arguments that involve comments like that have turned this thread into an intellectual cesspool.You mean, since Burton has overtaken McGrath as favorite?.....Yes, I can see why you'd say that.
