My love for Shaun has no bounds, the way he could drag the whole team over thr line again and again astonished me time and time again. The ultimate competitor. His highlight reel is a thing of beauty.

One of my favourite football moments ever.
I will never forget it.

I agree.

I too, will never forget it.

I do remember getting a call from 3 different mates, each one a die-hard member of one of the other 3 clubs involved in the trade for Shaun.

Each one of them said that Clarko was crazy to overpay for a player on crutches, who was past his best and that the hawks would be lucky to get two injury interrupted season out of him and it would ruin our future.



I was lucky enough to be sitting next to the Geelong mate who called me, when Shaun did the above.

His wife, who is also a Geelong member was unable to go, he told her it would be great if I could sit next him, because my Hawthorn tears taste better fresh.

So she not only gave me her seat, she also paid for my airfare to get to Melbourne and back to Perth.

For the last Ten years, every time I text or message either of them. I will always attach the above picture.

They hate it.




For the Port mate who called me, I framed the two pictures above, together with a signed Silk400 T-Shirt.
He hates it.





I will always send the Essendon mate who called me the above photo with the message.

Do you remember when you helped us get Shaun Burgoyne, it was just after the time you picked David Myers over Cyril Rioli but it was before


He then tells me that he hates Essendon.

I love it.

It's about time this legend got some comment. 16 pages vs 28 pages for a bloke that hasn't played a game.

Well, here's the "just after" photo.

That is because the deeds of a true legend

 

[Threadkilla]

Okay, I’ll participate… was just thinking of Burgoyne this week. Stumbled across that young yank (?), who’s been getting airtime lately watching clips of AFL and speaking glowingly of the players and sport in general. He had a little clip of just Burgers and it was basically running through opponents. He was very special. Had absolutely everything - skill, toughness, leadership, always stood up in the big moments, etc.

Will go down as an all-time great. He probably would’ve been the best of the lot if he had’ve played mid full-time and chased stats, like plenty of others have done.

It does show just how little the amount of pages really means since Burgoyne was a much appreciated, much loved Hawk. Not even under the radar.

Damn thread heading got me all excited, thinking he's returning to the Hawks in some sort of role! I guess it was missing the word 'back' as in Welcome back... and it's highly unlikely. Ah well!

Re: Burgoyne deal done

Dude.... the Hawks are going to be unstoppable....


3 straight premierships.!!!!

I've got some news for you mate.

 

[MasterSamurai]

An absolute brute when he was on!! Quite possibly the best pure clearance player pound for pound that I've seen. What a player he was for us .

He was brilliant! It’s hard to remember a better “pure” footballer. For those who haven’t read it already, do yourself a favour and get Silk’s book.

His last quarter in the 2013 PF...if he hadn't stepped up the way he did, we lose to Geelong, and then the club decides the list we had at that time was just short of premiership calibre, meaning there may have been a few trades of players that were involved in 2014 and 2015. Had a very big say in our 3peat.

He charged the course of our clubs history.
Simply amazing.

The 2013 preliminary final is Best game I've ever been at! I went with a friend, and we sat in the stadium for an hour post siren saying over and over again, I can't believe we're going to the grand final?! I can't believe we won that game?? What the hell just happened?! To break the curse in such amazing fashion, when we looked like losing most of the night, just euphoric it lives in my memory, epic, the fight passion and drive this club has.

He was one of our leaders, and hopefully find his way back to the club one-day. Leadership comes in many forms and many guises. Onwards and upwards thanks for the memories Shaun!
