Player Watch #45 Thomas Burton

[_RT_]

 

[smurfin]

Welcome aboard.

As an expert who has just watched the highlights above and nothing else:

Appears to have a good awareness about him - when to handball it off straight away to a reasonable option or when to take his time and pick the best option.
Good kicks to a player in space but didn't really see any aggressive bullet passes.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Yet another player in the 2022 SSA U15 AA squad has made it.

Second from the right up front.

 

[Charlie Pannam]

Well done, has got onto an AFL list the hard way.
2.91 20m sprint, not too shabby!!
If my glass is half full, Grlj , Burton combination could be handy off hb in a few years.

Happy to select him but only if we plan to develop him as a midfielder. We can jizz all we want over attacking half backs, but footy is won by a solid midfield.

 

[Truetiger]

Happy with this, All the best

He played mid/half forward in the VFL praccy match.

 

[rfctigerarmy]

Any relation to Burton who played for the Crows? The one who plays for Port? The snowboard brand?

[Gunit]

Can he ruck?

 

[Punt Road Feral]

If you said on draft night we would take Burton with our last list spot I would've been happy.

The list mismanagement of a back up ruck technically has nothing to do with it as we had an entire trade period and draft night to try and plug that hole.
If it becomes extremely dire we should have a MSD spot available with how our injury luck is panning out in the past month.

 

[Le RickyBobby]

Congrats kid. Respect him for fighting his way onto a list.

[prodigy]

These are always the best

 

[Truetiger]

Fantastic video loved his reaction.

 

[SnakeMan86]

Not making a judgement until I hear the expert opinion of Lord of the Winge

 

[partycorolla]

The guys that have to fight the hardest to make it are always the ones you appreciate the most when they succeed at the top level. Hopefully he makes the best of his career and hopefully he succeeds as a Tiger!
