Burton is overrated.

[Eesma]

Averillo should never have passed it to him, passing to a player in a worse position than you is dumb.

Always a Bulldog

Flop receiving the ball in a "worse position."

Only Flanagan dick rider on the app who countlessly defends his ass week in week out

Wow, what a horrible pass aye

 

[King Gus]

How about he runs it then, not real hard .... dudes been saying the same thing for 6 months.

Slow starter

 

[Eesma]

Wow, what a horrible pass aye

Actually, on review, maybe I can see what he meant. I've circled, in red, all the defenders who could have potentially prevented Flanno from scoring a try here.

 

[battered sav]

Yeah but Burton is over rated. He will never improve as a half and should be playing centre. Oh yeah, Cameron Ciraldo isn't a coach either and and...
This win will hopefully deflate the negative Nancy's. Has been shameful reading the shit on the kennel the last week.
Far more positives than negatives in this game. Sure Melbourne were down on troops but so were we. Was a fantastic effort and shows what we can be capable of when we turn up. Still plenty to improve on but we are not the basket case that so many seemed to believe we were.

i was so fucking pissed at this move by fannygums lol

 

[KiwiDog7]

Because he doesn't do much lol. A lot for walking around in back play, passes well before the line, doesn't run enough, doesn't put players into holes. A lot of the criticism directed his way is absolutely fair but he did look improved tonight for about 50 minutes.

Bro 5 missed tackles

Might cut and run but he will prob end up scoring 100 next week

Hahahaha

Lol Flanno setup 3 trys or something. Burton didn't do shit with all the space he had.

Set up is a big call. He played a role in 3 tries.

Yeah uce more like try involvements but Jake Avo had two try assist and should’ve been 3 (Flanno in touch)

To Flanno credit he came up with a massive 1-1 steal

Flanno played ok uce. Not much more he can do talent wise. Steal was awesome but that over the sideline effort was embarrassing and would have been a try with any other half. Just good to wake up after a win bro

 

[Nate DAWG]

And Avo played well, his defence is my only concern at centre.

 

[D.O.W.]

Our centres looked like they trained all week on the draw and pass, to me, this was an area they improved quite significantly for this game.

Attack-wise, if that’s our blueprint, we should win more than we loose. Preston looks a starter, King is King, Kiraz is all effort, Alamoti/Hayze gaining confidence each week and Reed is a point of difference and good leader. If we can go back2back, nice stepping stone toward generating that belief

More like all pre season... CC would be proud of the execution on most of those plays though we are still rough around the edges but given time will become more clinical.

Still wish we had our starting front row... We would have hit 40+ last night if Thommo and TPJ played.

Why the fuck he ran towards the sideline I’ll never know. I think he lacks basic natural footy instinct and will more often than not make a poor decision. I don’t think it matters whether he has or doesn’t have time to think.

 

[SPEARTAKVIDREFS]

Burton played much better then round 1.
Id say thats an improvement.
Cant ask for more then that.
Hopefully we see further improvement next week

 

[Sandra's Bollocks]

So TT=flanagun or nah?

 

[Raff]

Burton is not a playmaker. I hope he can prove me wrong and start creating space for players around him. Really needs to start using Kikau in attack.

On this point, agree, look how much better Fifita is running off Foran…. Halves make a huge difference to edge runners. Hopefully Burton/Ciro unlock a combo with Kiks.
