Glad the game's not tonight. There are animals walking two by two down the street.

This will only happen if he’s left 30m on his own and no body contact insight

To be fair Esava needs as much goal kicking advice as possible. I have complete faith that Esava will win the contested mark and zero faith he’ll then kick a goal. It will be the difference between winning and losing against the crows as Fogarty and Thilthorpe both have great accuracy.

And he can play both ends if we have an injury.
Ehh. Burton can still be a threat up forward with his kicking ability. Any mark within 60 he can go the distance.
Although a bit of rain makes for a slippery wet one. I’m thinking Burton might even be sub and we could go with Narkle and Frankie

I think Eddy was like most of us saw Burton playing forward in the Maggies and put 2+2 together. Wasn’t rocket science.
Possible, because they won’t be worried about him, they’ll be making sure Esava and Dixon aren’t taking grabs.

What's Burton's form like?

I prefer if Burto is in the side that he plays wing.
But at least, like Esava, if he's forward rather than in defence, the damage he can inflict on us is minimal

I feel there has been a lot of good decision making in the last month or so but this is a bad omen bringing back Burton.
He could light it up but not the best.

Kind of have a feeling that Burton is going to go OK here.

Wouldn't be surprised if Burton proved a few wrong this week in a different role. Hope he does. He's got too much talent for his career to peter out this early.

I'd start Ratugolea at half forward and have him running towards the goal. He should always end up 15 metres out directly in front.
Watching him run away from the goal on a angle is depressing.

Hinkleys biggest fan the Volcano tipped the crows this morning, and there's no way a loss in this game can be due to "the list"
He is choc full of sh!t old Kane

Burton has had huge problems being unaccountable for his man for a long time.
This year sometimes he's looked like he doesn't give a stuff about his direct opponent who waltzes into multiple scoring involvements.
Last week we brought back Marshall who had had a soft year and now another offender in this regard.
If Burton goes forward, the Cows will only have to put a decent defender on him to clamp him down.
If Burton gets free, he has such an awesome boot that he can reek havoc but he's not the hardest worker on the ground.
It may also show that they haven't given up on Marshall for the year.

The sad thing about this is everybody is tipping an upset..
Thats how badly we are thought of in showdowns.. I remember when we would almost always be favorites. And when we were the better side we just went out an won, we would go in confident and just belt them now we almost go in scared, too scared to make a mistake or lose.
Thats all on hinkley.
If he loses, for a 4th time in a row, it should be the end of him at the end of the year, because it will be embarrassing to have them slag us off before game and then still beat us.
