Go get Ryan Burton pronto

Post: # 1762018Post ss1986 »

Just go whack an offer too good to refuse under his nose.

Make him feel loved and wanted - which is clearly what would be troubling him now at Hawthorn.

Be opprtunistic. Show some spunk and p*ss the Hawks off.

Great f%king call. I'm actually not unhappy if we do that. Create some goddamn mayhem and buzz. In life, I'd rather be hated than pitied and I'd like my footy club to be viewed this way too.

That said - if it involved pick 4 which I sincerely hope will land us Rankine then perhaps not. The great unknown of of course is if on draft night with live picks, whether Port blinks and offers GCS 2 first rounders for either their picks 2 or 3 to ensure they snaffle Rankine (or possibly Lucocious) before us.

I agree, but will be really difficult.

Only thing to offer is #28.
That means PA would have to take Hawks first pick + 28 for Wingard instead of Hawks first pick + Burton.

Long shot but can't hurt trying.

I would be highly surprised if Port takes picks 15 & 28. The Hawks have built their trade period around this now that Shiel has gone and Port knows it. They knocked back straight 15 from the get go and nominated "plus Burton" as a non-negotiable (he's an SA lad and PA and Adl are sick of the go home issue).

Just can't see the Hawks taking 28 for Burton who's a jet. As much as the Hawks know how to get a deal done and that you have to give good to get good - I think it's way unders for everyone except us (for once!).

If Burton for 28 happened though - I may be seen doing nudie runs up St Kilda Rd on the news tonight.

Personally, I would take a massive gamble and try
Burton & 15 for saints 2019 1st.
Gives us something to play for next year.

I'm not in favour of selling future picks.

Me neither. Especially future first rounders when there’s a likelihood we will inhabit the bottom end of the ladder.

I've never understood the fuss about Burton to be honest.

Poor disposal, very slow kicking release.

I reckon it's one of those sayings that sounds really deep, but in the wrong context is borderline dangerous.
