Well Done Burton

[CaptainDangerfield]

I think he is a star.

He would have to be considered for all australian. His form has been out of this world. Not been beaten this year.

People from other clubs will laugh at this but its true.

People from this club will laugh at that. All Australian, now that's funny.

i remember this one it was against the saints at FP last yr, it was typical birdman, pretty hilarious too, if it wasnt so sad. Reiwoldt and kenny were on a wing and the birdman flies across to spoil completely takes out poor kenny, doesnt spoil it properly so riewoldt mops up takes all the time in the world and kicks to the G-train whos on bassett. Atleast bassett aint the FB anymore. It was one of those sad plays you never forget, bit like the doughty one against collingwood.

At the time I had a good old chukle. It should have been on Funniest Home Videos or Burtons Bloopers.

I said considered. Not funny at all - its an opinion.

Why wouldn't he be considered? He has been in outstanding form this year and I don't think he's been beaten.

Unbelievable...Universally criticized one week, All Australian the next.

Sorry Springy, but the word selectively would be more appropriate than universally.

There are some on this board that are very reluctant to give credit to Burton, but very quick to criticize him.

He will always make clangers, but overall he's a positive - a one man entertainment package.

When was Bassett universally criticised?

I wasn't talking about Burton

Agreed.

I think Bass would be up there in our B&F I reckon. His form this year has been superb. Has not been beaten and has been the ultimate team man along the way as well.

*Takes foot out of mouth* Err I thought you were talking about Burton. FWIW I agree, both Bassett and Rutts would be considered for AA selection.

Let's agree to disagree on Burton.
