Welcome to Hawthorn Pick 19: Ryan Burton

[sven_inc]

He's in! The kids just keeps on surprising.

The team must see something great in him as you'd be hard pressed to find a Hawks draftee that has debuted and played more than 3 games in a row let alone a huge final against an excellent team wouldn't you?

 

[halfback dasher]

Simply amazing story ...
Under sold story of the year for us .

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Amazing effort that he's been picked in our best 22 for the qualifying final.

I hope he holds on and isn't a late change.

 

[cryptor]

Will either make a match winning goal up forward or take a match saving mark down back.

So true. Gobsmacked he has played a game let alone be lining up against the Cats in a final!

 

[crazywildhorse]

Do you think he was better than Hartung against Collingwood?

That's pretty amazing. Never seen a any player "take a match saving goal down back". I cant even fathom how that would work or might mean.

[Clarkos_Soldier]

That's "giving" a point not "taking" a goal. Only Burton can take a goal but I'm not sure how.

 

[jiphoc]

Do you think he was better than Hartung against Collingwood?

No but games like this don't suit Hartung. Maybe they think Burton will hold up better.

 

[Great 2008]

I have seen Billy shirk the hard stuff all year. Horses for courses selection. Not sure the Collingwood game is relevant to this game (if that makes sense). The Cats are a whole new ball game.

It means he is the chosen one!

I've been watching the Hawks for a long time. All I can say about Ryan Burton's selection is that I'm hoping it is a move which proves Clarko's coaching genius.

It's a high risk in a huge game.

I'll back the little man.

 

[Gralin]

Keeping a lid on it until he's named on the final sheet

 

[AlwaysHawks15]

He will line up on stanley bookmark it, from the little i have seen of him he certainly has a bit of toe and is excellent overhead, 2 features that you need to play on stanley. Stanley plays like a tall flanker, gets on his bike up the ground than back close to goal. He gets alot of goals like this. We dont have anyone else apart from gibbo that could take him and we want gibbo being offensive.

 

[matey]

I see a lot of composure in this kid!

 

[William Wonka]

Do you think he was better than Hartung against Collingwood?

Easily

He has magic in him...

 

[OnTheRocks]

He has magic in him...

Haha classic!

 

[Brant]

We may well need to see some of that magic tonight.

We're going to need 14 goals to win & I don't see us getting them without him kicking at least 2.

High risk.

Far too high a risk

 

[Gralin]

High risk.

Far too high a risk

Depends what the injury was, he looked good before he went down

 

[eldorado]

calf, apparently, according to AFL.com

 

[IdiotBox]

i hope we haven't broken him.
