Cannot express enough my distaste for Burton

Has there been a bigger example of “looks like Tarzan, plays like Jane?”

 

[backtozero]

Aren't you the dude who has spent the last decade shitting on Brodie Grundy and Tim English despite them being the exact type of rucks who lose the hitouts but dominate around the ground?

He's the dude that 75% of the time takes the piss and has some really wack opinions the rest of the time so it's hard to know when he's trolling.

Flakey as this bloke. I would drop him along with MCEntee.

The last quarter ball ups seemed to be a repeat of Soldo pushing the ball in front of himself and the Freo mids reading it better. Happened three times in quick succession on the eastern wing. Our mids were more focused on their opponents than the ball.

Yeah, went to that Norwood flog Aish, twice

Commentators noted that Soldo was doing the defensive hit out expected in the situation, but our mids not in the same page. Hope they learn from this.

It's just absolutely absurd to me that somebody could have followed Port Adelaide for the last 27 years and walk away with that take.

Scott Lycett averaged more disposals for us than Paddy Ryder, Brendon Lade or Matthew Primus. He's not fit to tie Paddy Ryder, Brendon Lade or Matthew Primus' boots in terms of their impact on football games.

Why are people hating on Jase?

I was smashed as but my recollection was that he looked quite classy and got to great positions

 

[TeeKray]

Jackson is a guy who turned a grand final in the ruck days after his 20th birthday and is probably on close to a million a year. Having him clean you up at ground level and around the ground is no shame, it'll happen to almost everyone. The problem is that Soldo's tap dominance didn't translate to clearances and definitely not the type of clean decisive clearances we've seen over the first month of the season. I'm surprised so many people have Soldo winning that match up. At best you could call it even.

They're not?

Not 'people', just one idiot.

Freos midfield is top shelf. Just as good as ours, if not better currently. Serong is an absolute superstar, then you add in Brayshaw and Young, both guns as well.

Their 3 young guns are so similar to ours.

I hate using their phrase so much, but Jackson is legitimately like another midfielder in there. Fyfe also providing cameos too. They dominated us for the first 3 quarters in the centre, however they went to water in the last and we took over when it mattered.

 

[Duck Farmer]

Dixon is finishing a bit like Jonas, with his opponent being best on ground or having a career best game every week. O Lord please don’t let him limp into finals without having a clear alternative.

I see what you did there.

Don’t understand the Burton hate on this forum.

The game has changed and he’s elite by foot.

All over the ground there are offensive and defensive oriented players, not just in traditional zones.

Defensive forwards lock the ball in. Offensive defenders attack with incisive kicking.

We will never see the best of Burton against Freo with their defensive setups. But they’re the outlier aren’t they?

 

[jac147]

The AFL now have the video of the Butter’s head “hit”on their app. Now laying the groundwork for Butters to have a short break! Just two blokes going for the ball at precisely the same time. A close last quarter clash if I ever saw one.

 

[JimmyBC]

Big step forward last night and looked like he's adjusted to AFL tempo again, not being sub helps he worked into the game.

He's been pretty crap and soft all year though.

 

[Windy Cindy]

If Dixon doesn't play do you think Marshall or Mitch have a better night with Pearce now in their back pocket?

Marshall needs a rocket and needs some urgency in his game.

 

[chachi11]

Burgoyne's best game I reckon, when he eventually finds the keys to the weights room he'll be a beast..

 

[Enoch Blaze]

So you’re talking form?

Doesn’t mean he’s not a good player and can’t get back to it.

I rate him.

I get your point but he’s soft

Actually think I’ve seen worse efforts from him than I ever saw from Bonner and I hated Bonner as a player

If I was the coach he’d be shipped off to Tasmania yesterday

You can’t be “good” and “soft” in finals pal

First bit of footy I've seen all year. Prolly the last. What an absolute shitshow.

Kinda comforting, tho. Like a rerun of your fave sitcom from back in the day. Coz you know exactly what's gonna happen. So you sit back and watch all ho-hum with complete detachment, no emotional connects, while browsing eBay for OG Kenner Star Wars shit (or whatever your particular vice is.)

Dixon is super-cooked. Yeah, he kicked that big goal no-one thought he would. But this hobbling hobo cosplayer is costing us goals, if anything. Just clogging up the forward line. Hell, I've got achilles tendonitis, a bung quad and bone-piercing arthritis in my lower leg and i'm still more mobile than Chief Angry Face.

McEntee either has dirt on Ken or is Ken's gimp that gets let out on match day. At least a gimp knows how to play farken. Not like this clueless bastard.

Conversely, Dyl Will must've won the trifecta at Angle Park and not cut in Ken or some sh!t. His banishment to footy Siberia makes no sense. Then again, logic and common sense have hardly been defining features of Herr Hinkley's bizarre reign of chronic underachievement.

F@%k me with the rough end of a pineapple, I'd have Williams in b4 a good half-dozen: Burton, Farrell, DBJ, Jones, Mac n Mead.

Leave Burgoyne on the wing and let the kid settle at this level, ffs.

Marshall gonna Marshall. Just gotta accept him for who he is. He'll never be AA but will tease kicking a bag every now and then with a nice knock-on here and there that'll have everyone extolling his high footy IQ. Mfer must've been playing 4D chess by not having a ping from outside fiddy.

Anyway I'm gonna go back watching 80s Port games on YouTube coz these flakes ain't winning sh!t...
