News Bulldogs 3 million dollar offer to matt burton

Strongly disagree.

Which part specifically?

In modern footy players stick to their lanes. Edge , middle, edge.

Teams do not allocate extra defenders to their opponents perceived stronger side. If they did they would get slaughtered on the other side of the field in subsequent plays.

Agree Burton rarely gets the numbers to his advantage but that is the fault of our middles not being able to drag defenders in.

Apologize if my original reply comes across as being snarky.
