Certified Legendary Thread CONFIRMED: Welcome to Hawthorn, Shaun Burgoyne

[Dipper]

He doesn't miss many does he.

I wonder if we could have afforded him if he didn't have a bung knee.

Re: Either way this Burgoyne trade will cost us a premiership.

I tend to agree with you CaptHodgey. I don't think some appreciate what a loss Robbie Campbell is and we have wasted far too much time on the SB trade. On a player we don't even need!

Lol

Does Go Hawkers still post ?

Re: Burgoyne deal done

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


3 straight premierships.!!!!

wonderful prediction

Technically it's incorrect as we lost 2012 after we traded for him. Plus if we win 5 straight.... But happy to be wrong in that scenario...

77 consecutive games and counting.

Amongst current players, Burgoyne is equal sixth for the longest streak. North Melbourne's Sam Gibson has played 103 consecutive games to lead all-comers, followed by Adelaide's Sam Jacobs and Nathan Jones (93 games), Sydney's Dean Rampe (89 games), Carlton's Zach Tuohy (86 games). Burgoyne is level with Brandon Ellis and Eddie Betts.

The next Hawk on that ladder is Isaac Smith (37 consecutive games).

Since Burgoyne joined the club, Hawthorn has played 167 games (including finals). This means that Burgoyne has missed just 11 games and most of those were in his first season when his debut was delayed thanks to a broken jaw in the VFL courtesy of a head clash with Jarrad (Max) Rooke.

Several people on this board thought he wouldn't have close considering some didn't want to trade for a player on one leg and all.

Hey, don't rub it in, it was 7 years ago!

I guess if you are going to fail as a poster you may as well fail spectacularly. No half assed effort this!

In case of emergency, break glass.

Underselling.

One of, if not the greatest 'big game' match winner of all time.

 

[Flukey!]

Watched the Swans win again on Foxtel this morning.
He just steps up again and again and again.

 

[OnTheRocks]

He is a god amongst men.

Second most finals played of all time. Well done silk.

 

[TBoyleSuperstar]

God I'm glad we picked this bloke up. Just an amazing footballer. And to think many thought we'd get a couple of years out of his dodgy knees and we overpaid. This bloke could possibly be the greatest bargain in the history of footy

Sadly that is still one more than what Clarko has received in Coach Of The Year awards.

 

[Hodge2NormSmith]

Um, did we still pay overs for Silk????

Must be one of the great all time finals players, his game on Friday night makes me think he has more than one year left.

 

[Dragz]

Pft, missed a shot on Goal on Friday. So much for being a matchwinner.

(Must have had a touch of the flu or a broken leg or something for a miss)

One of only three players to have played 150 games with two clubs, the others being Marcus Ashcroft and Bernie Quinlan (not sure Ashcroft should count either).

Fair effort.

Overated, his solitary All Australian guernsey is a better reflection of his contribution to the game. I want Mark Williams back.

Burgoyne has hardly won any individual awards, he's just not good enough.

All he'll retire with are his premiership medals.

FOUR OF THEM!

But everyone knows it was his team mates that carried him to those premierships
