Ultimate Glory Shaun Burgoyne plays game 400! #silk400 - hanging up the boots!

[OnTheRocks]

I’m very disappointed: I bought a Silk400 T-shirt, and found the damn thing is made of cotton.

I’m going to sue.

And ask her why it's sew?

My comment back then was when the premier midfielder in the competition wants to play for your club, you don't question it

That is exactly what he was and as great as he has been for us, he was amazingly good when he was at PA. We have been so lucky to have him play for us and I hope that we can find another like him one day.

Massive fan of this bloke and have been since his early days at Port with his brother.

Absolute star. Glad he's getting to 400.

Just saw SB on TFB. Seems a genuinely good natured guy.

Congratulations to Shaun and the Hawthorn Football club for having two in the 400 club and the first indigenous player to reach that milestone.

Hope he plays a blinder.

There was a highlight package on Insta from _hawthornfc of Shaun. So many clutch moments in so many important games. Legend.

I come in peace -

just wanted to tip the hat to Silk in his 400th.

Quality player and quality bloke as much as it pains me to admit it. Been on the receiving end of his work more than once.

Well played Silk and finally good to see another respectable player in the 400 club. Hope you can get him a win in the game.

GO Catters

PS - And a little thanks could be given to Wellsy for facilitating the trade that got him to you blokes as well

When I think of Burgoyne I think of the times we were in trouble late in a game and seeing him make his way to the middle.

And then we were no longer in trouble. The guy made a career of winning football games by influencing or creating key moments.

I feel confident in saying that we will never see his like again. One of the greatest players of all time.

This, literally at the last second, he stepped up because Dildoro in Mordor thought he had a stumbling block for us. Well played wellsy.

What happened again? Love a stupid dildoro story

What happened again? Love a stupid dildoro story

It's all here:

Sliding doors to 400: How the Hawks landed Shaun Burgoyne

With less than 24 hours before the trade deadline in 2009, Shaun Burgoyne was panicking. The deal to get him to Hawthorn had gone nowhere all week. Everyone in Adelaide knew what a talent the Power were losing. Everyone in Victoria fretted about the knee injury he had and what a risk he was.

Class act in every respect. There are a handful of players that expect most if not all supporters admire, such as Silk, Lenny Hayes, Pendles...

Does anyone have the clip of the goal he kicked against the Swans while wearing the 67 guernsey?

It was such an amazing team lifter that night but it doesn't seem to be included in his highlights.

 

[HolyWars]

Well done Silk! I can't believe you're being shafted on a milestone again, last time it was Australia vs France in the World Cup, now COVID won't allow us to pack the place out.

They said your knees were shot when you left Port, but I think that was just the bitter taste in their mouths.

Champion.

@2.27 Enjoy!

Ok Boomer.....

'I'll be the last' to play 400, says Harvey

Brent Harvey tells AFL.com.au he'll be the last player to reach 400 games

www.afl.com.au

Boomer actually said "midget" but due to political correctness, the writers chose to use the word "player"

 

[Dewnior]

How bloody good is Shaun!

which position does he fit in team
Of the century?

With no disrespect, the ultimate utility starts on the bench.

 

[moginie]

@2.27 Enjoy!

The goal @6.10 was pretty freaking great too!

 

[Dewnior]

The goal @6.10 was pretty freaking great too!

Yep.

It was a bit of a shame though that the other #67 stole some of his thunder

 

[moginie]

Yep.

It was a bit of a shame though that the other #67 stole some of his thunder

But there could be only one winner on that night.

And it was the good guys.

 

[indianhawks]

We have secured the tickets finally and going to the game. Great to see silk400. It will be brilliant.

 

[The Falcon Strike]

When a player is universally loved - it tells you something about the players quality and character

In his prime the only times i ever saw Burgoyne "beaten" were in games against easy beats where Hawks were dominating. His ability when the going got tough to deliver down back, in the guts or up forward is almost unparalleled.

I also think his moniker of "silk" undersells his toughness as well.

My endearing memory will be pre-hawthorn when a young Burgoyne tore apart a midfield of Judd, Cousins and Kerr. That isn't done lightly
