Yes but was he there long enough? Is one flag enough considering his games tally, and will they forgive him leaving and having more success as the Hawks?
Well if theyre anything like that other South Australian team...Are you suggesting Port are a whinny bunch of biatches?
Geoff Ablett was a good player. Burgoyne is a great player and match winner.More about his individual deeds. many make the HOF despite winning no flags. Think of Bobby Skilton and ablett Snr. i think he might struggle to make ours. If he does, players like Geoff Ablett would have merit to feel aggrieved
Played in a flag at Port, always a champion , injury frightened Port .Hawthorn yes
AFL I believe yes
Port, not so sure
He may have played great in this match but never thought he was a great player or him being referred to as a great player.Watch the 74 Prelim and think about Ablett, great player

Scott, Tuck, Lethal, Knights, Moore were were great players and cannot have Ablett alongside these players and thats
no disrespect to Ablett.

Yep, and not sure l've seen a faster player. l think he won 4 gf sprints.Ablett was quicker than Silk, but no where near as versatile.
If we were to use cars as an analogy, Geoff would be a Porsche and Silk a Rolls Royce.More about his individual deeds. many make the HOF despite winning no flags.

When I think of Shaun Burgoyne and "trifecta" in the same sentence...
2013,2014,2015 springs to mind
Nothing else matters, arguably our best pick up ever...Champion
4 gf sprintsYep, and not sure l've seen a faster player. l think he won 4 gf sprints.
4 gf sprints
2 premierships
1 losing gf
202 games.
Can’t compare him to Burgoyne, different era, different game.
But I do think he should be inducted for not just his football but he also worked for/at HFC for many yrs, which is obviously relevant when you look at other inductees.
That’s not to take anything away from any other inductee, as the club need to keep it as more of an exclusive club rather than just hand it out silly nilly
You can’t argue with thatIf we were to use cars as an analogy, Geoff would be a Porsche and Silk a Rolls Royce.
Sure, but The racehorse' played in an age of set positions whereas Silk plays in a multi facete age. In a sense, Burgoyne is the quintessential 'swingman'
One of the reasons why it's not possible, or fair, to compare players from different eras. The game evolves, equipment improves, and medical, science and other areas all have advanced remarkable. It's not the same game I started following in the forties.
