Toast Round 2 Rising Star Nom: Ryan Burton GET AROUND HIM!

[Hodginator]

Burtman has the best disposal efficiency in the whole afl averaging over 20 touches a game

I had to check this for myself. Doesn't look quite right though. Theres one other AFL player above him
S Burgoyne. Averaging 20.1 disposals at 85.1%
R Burton. Averaging 20.8 disposals at 84.9%

Burger is not one to be outdone.

At the moment I'd take Burton's field kicking (just) over Burgoyne. Burgoyne every day of the week in front of the big sticks though!

At the moment I'd take Burton for his future development, we're not going to be a shot for another flag before Burgoyne retires unless he suddenly becomes Michael Tuck.

I really wish someone could just make a Ryan Burton highlights package after each game, so I can wash away the pain of each loss. Crazyhawk ? I thought i saw him a couple of times moving well in traffic in the centre in the final quarter. A new Gary Ayres perhaps?

I'd watch that

 

[Burtman]

Just watch any of hawthorns highlights this year, there isn't a passage of play that doesn't involve him or titch

Wouldn't mind that Steven May... and he's out of contract...

 

[Buddyball]

Burton reminds me of Bontempelli in how he plays. Maybe has a bit of speed on him.

Let's hope he never gets caught in possession...

 

[vanders]

Sign him for 10 years

 

[SSSSSS]

Anyone have a gif of his double sidestep into a 55m bullet pass?

The Missus is out with the girls and I need alone time.

I was out on the town tonight and gorgeous girls were everywhere - and that passage of play was still the sexiest thing I saw all night.

 

[Hawkthorn33]

Going out on a bit of a limb here but Athis boy is going to be very special

 

[Samurai Hawk]

The kid has got "it".

First in disposals, effective disposals and rebound 50s. Just stop the fight and give him the Rising Star now.

 

[halfback dasher]

His dancing is something to behold

 

[dermott]

Yep. His lateral movement to get thru traffic is elite.

 

[cryptor]

Burton's odds for the Rising Star award have moved in yet again. There must be an avalanche of money coming in for him to win it over the past few weeks. He may not be leading the market right now, but that movement suggests that right now a lot of people think he is going to win it. Give it another few weeks of these performances and he'll be outright leading it. Hopefully he doesn't get robbed of it like Cyril did in 2008.

How McGrath leads him is beyond logic. Burton is averaging more touches despite playing as a defender not a midfielder. Burton's actually making an impact on our wins also, something that McGrath isn't doing so much.

 

[Mr Lizard]

He got penalised for it, but Ernie's run back with the flight of the ball, jump, mid air spin to spoil then land and gather his own crumb was sensational.

Stupid umpire. (I hope there is someone at Hawthorn who takes these muppets to task. Good play should be encouraged, not penalised)

Underselling McGrath. The kid has been exceptionally poised and has defended beyond his years.

Conversely I think many others (oppostion supporters) are underselling Burton's defensive impact.
