Silk easily has to go down as one of the best 2 club players (of at least 100 games at each club) in the history of the game. One could argue that his career at Hawthorn is better that his career at Port. I’m hoping Birchall has a similar ending to his career fitness wise but Silk is obviously a freak of nature.Given the reports during the preseason intraclub game.

So who is ?Im all for being optimistic, but this is stretching it![]()
Up until his PCL injury Birchall was basically in the team every week from the time he debuted. If he can finish off his career half as good as Shauny then I’ll take it.Im all for being optimistic, but this is stretching it![]()
I’m just hoping Silk will be able to play for Harry Jones’ farewell gameHas anyone actually thought that this might not actually be Silk’s last season![]()
What!!!!! Jones cooked by the end of 2019 season, I had higher hopes.I’m just hoping Silk will be able to play for Harry Jones’ farewell game
Agreed but lets be realistic he has played how many games in the last 3yrs ? Not the age you want to be getting re occurring issues.Up until his PCL injury Birchall was basically in the team every week from the time he debuted.

You could look at like that.... or you could say that his body is still fresh from very little football over the past 3 yrs and his knee problems are behind him which may point to a very productive season.Agreed but lets be realistic he has played how many games in the last 3yrs ? Not the age you want to be getting re occurring issues.
I will be surprised to see him play more than 15 games this yr which is shattering the team looks so much better with him in the side.

and one... count it... ONE premiership.Not a chance, he won an AA at Port
The argument could be that he was a better team player at th Hawks, in playing his role as the coach wanted which was better for the team.Not a chance, he won an AA at Port
Between taping and tattoos every player in the league has a reason to shave or wax off all their body hair...Taping is actually pretty ineffective after about 10 minutes. It doesn’t protect against injury as much as we have previously believed but it can help psychologically and give a player more confidence. I believe tape is used far too much, we would be much better putting our resources into strength and conditioning as a measure to prevent injuries.

The Lade-Burgoyne combination was exceptional & quite underrated IMHO. They really did have a great understanding. Though I remember several times before Ceglar did his knee that he & Burgoyne were getting that sort of understanding really going. The clean Burgoyne clearance is a thing of footballing beauty.I personally think Burgoyne has been better at Hawthorn because I've watched him more there. And Hawthorn are great and Port are not. Soto them.
(Knees are shot, will never play again, at least to the level he was, wasn't that good anyway, only got AA because Lade kept knocking it down his throat, Hawf rucks are shite so he won't impact) - yes thankyou random Port fan I used to work with.
Extra cool sporting genes from mum too.
