Burgoyne the great

[Bardo State]

How ****ing good was his goal? He just looked up and knew that if he went straight away that he would be able to get it off with a few centimetres to spare. His mind works faster than anyone else's on the field. And when he unleashed from 50 it was never in doubt.

Did all the hard work in the first to get us going and barely looked to break a sweat.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Absolute superstar, this bloke.

 

[BloomingHawk]

It's amazing how he STILL burns off players. He is an absolute jet!!!

 

[grizzlym]

He was so important, I thought. Love having Burger in our team.

 

[Jim Dixon]

Congratulations to you blokes on winning the whole thing; I am still kinda spewing that Port lost the Prelim but at least a real team won the Flag not a Cola fuelled franchise.

On Burgoyne, you've had him long enough! Time for him to come back to Port Adelaide!

 

[TAITA]

Mine and old mate thatswhatimtalkinabout's favorite player of all time. Redefines the terms space and time. Blessed to have this superstar play at Hawthorn, and in this particular case I am over reacting due to our win. Bona fide champion of our club.

NOT over reacting. Blòody phone

Burgoyne has done a Salmon and arguably become an even better player in a different role since arriving at Hawthorn.

 

[Davo23]

I'm still embarrassed by my post at the time we recruited him, something about " why do we need a soft, outside receiver with serious knee problems".
Soft?
Outside Reciever?
Davo23 could not be more wrong!

I'll just quote this post from a well respected poster.

He's always right!

 

[Xtreme]

Legend!!

Just curious as to why Burger was still in his playing gear,when the boys went back on to the MCG stage before leaving the ground?
Anyone know why?

He's ready to go again...

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Has there ever been a more assured and composed player?

Thee name silk was not given to him for no reason, absolute jet..

 

[Bayer_]

What I love most about him, is how much time he always has. With his loping gait, he looks like an average speed runner, but nobody ever catches him! Against Port he was fantastic (just like Geelong last year), and was the BOG in the first quarter of the GF (i.e. when Sydney was putting us under real pressure!).

My only question is: which club will his kids play for? Does he now consider himself more a Hawk, given he's won b2b with us, or will he go back to Port, his first love?

 

[eldorado]

Kids will love the Hawks forever...

 

[Davo23]

"Silk" is only half the story.

"Diamond rock solid" is the other half.

 

[Main Man]

Mike Sheehan had him 19th in his top 50 today, due recognition for a fantastic year.

Mike Sheehans top 50 was actually reasonable, a lot of Hawks in the top 20 but not sure how he left Gunston out of the 50 altogether.

 

[moginie]

Kids will love the Hawks forever...

Absolutely spot on.

What will influence them more - seeing Dad win consecutive premierships at Hawthorn or hear their dad & their uncle drone on about their time at Port?

He's now in that second tier of Hawthorn excellence in my opinion, with blokes like Buckenara, Hendrie, Platten, Pritchard etc etc. Then again the top level is almost stratospheric.

 

[rjslcM]

When ranking the players on our list... I start with the 3 x premiership winners. All are guns and all bring unique elements. Appreciate them all.

 

[Hawkk]

I'm pretty sure Burgoyne has now done a reverse Jarman

 

[MinerBoy]

He makes me happy when I watch him.

Take that how you will.

And I was delighted when we drafted him. Not like that no idea floggo Davo23

Just looking to see if the opposition had arrived yet

 

[Tall Tales and True]

He's been just the best recruit; amazing ... on and off the field. A great leader & ambassador ... pure Silk!

 

[killerspud]

The thing is we have him and Hodge and Mitchell.

All teams would kill to have one of those guys in the team - we have three

all three can play off half back, go forward or into the middle - They make our team scarily versatile and give the composure and skill the others lack.

Burgoyne is a very very special player who has given his heart and soul for the club. If not for him we are the 2013 preliminary finalists
