Welcome to Hawthorn Pick 19: Ryan Burton

[tommyk72]

I'm pretty sure th only advice Clarko will give him is 'don't fu%! It up!'

 

[EIGHTYEIGHTEIGHTYNINE]

Watch him have 1 possession now

But what a possession!

 

[EIGHTYEIGHTEIGHTYNINE]

Best one possession fap fest every #hypetrain

beat me

 

[GerryLewis]

Didn't he have a broken leg before coming to us?

He did mate, though he also displaced his knee cap with the break causing all sorts of associated knee problems (load bearing structure and alignment). Huge effort to be playing AFL football this year!

 

[Glorious couch life]

Looks like the hype machine has been set to "Maximum Thorp".
I'll just be happy to see him get through unscathed. And it will be interesting to see how he handles the rise in tempo and pressure.
One thing I've noticed from the few clips I've seen is that he seems to have great spatial awareness - and a really good step on him. Great attributes for a bigger bloke to have.

Doesn't seem to have lost much agility going by some of the highlights.

A few other RB facts

Ryan Burton knows Victoria's Secret.

When Ryan Burton turned 18, his parents moved out.

 

[Brant]

The first leg of our 2017 Holy Trinity is now in place.... Ryan Burton.

Next year, Conor Glass and Luke Superman complete the triumvirate.

Exciting times.

Surely, if he gets going, Surman's nickname becomes 'Superman'?

 

[LuckyHawk]

The good news is there isn't too much hype or pressure on the lad to perform from this website....

I reckon he'd love all this hype and excitement.

Very true, last week grabs the ball surrounded by Werribee and Hawk players, a shimmy to the left and he cruises clear and passes it off.
It was Jarman like.

Hope I'm wrong

Errr wot? NTTAWWT

 

[BOP66]

Thanks BOP.
Hopefully both players (and David Cunningham and Jesse Palmer too) are eased into it and not have the situation envelop them.

I remember reading about Richard being touted early on (October-November 2014) as a No. 1 pick.

Hope you guys cheer Richard on as loudly as possible as a way of showing support.

Will do

 

[Buckemenico]

Pretty good on left foot. I presume he is a right footer

 

[Argy]

No they are from april.

They are his first two games. That's not what the poster said. I think we've all seen those highlights.

Someone here said they were concerned he would not be able to go back if necessary during the game. What those early games show is that he played down back a lot.

 

[Roughie]

Good On Clarkson For Giving The Lad A Crack. Tim OBrien Has Done Well But Has Tapered Off A Bit Which Is Expected With A Young Player. He Obviously Wants A Tall Forward In, So Why Not Give Burton A Chance? Im Not Expecting Much, But Nor Would I Expect Tim O-B To Kick Five Goals Either If He Stayed In. He Is Sticking To Structures And He Is Giving A Kid A Chance And Either Way Burton Or OBrien Would Be In The Line Up. I Dont Expect Much From Him Because He Is Debuting In A Big Game For Us, And If He Under Performs Tim OBrien Comes Back In Next Week. Its All About Structures And Tim O-B Needs A Run In The Vfl Regardless Because Of Form, And With Schoey And Roughie Out Burton Is The Only Other Choice.

Mind You Heatherly Is Incredibly Stiff To Be Left Out!

Thanks, MD - some nice lunchtime reading right there

You like it but didn't like it!

Maybe he just likes all those capital letters in the post, but not the post itself
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ

 

[Thaihawk]

Feel like a subway footlong coming on.
Hope we are all saying this after the game.

Hey Bumps, is that one of the Scott twins as a toddler?

 

[The Jet From Poowong]

Just had a Roos work colleague ask why we like rubbing it in with our trades. I responded with "mate we never rub it in, we go in dry"

I think he was worried about Burton making them look silly

Errr wot? NTTAWWT

It pays to advertise

Do you have a script that capitalises every word you type or do you genuinely press shift at the start of every word? And if the answer to any of that is yes - then why??
