I would say Burton said it best. He’s still here. He probably is waiting to see how smart the Bulldogs are with the coaching choices. If we get it right, he will want to stay. If we get another inexperienced coach - he will be gone.
People read into "I'm still here" as a bad thing lol. To me it's like, "I'm still here (so I'm committed.)" Why else does anyone ever say that? You get asked if you want out of anything.. and if you don't you respond with, "I'm still here aren't I"? Anyway, like I said, I'm not going to worry, until there's something to worry about!
Even if you try and analyse his words, it's dumb, because we all know he's shy and not great with being interviewed. The kid was probably anxious over being grilled. You all have to remember, you only see what is public. You think at Belmore etc, he doesn't have Gus and others supporting him?! Like I mentioned before, he clearly is enjoying playing with the boys and has already built up a good combo with Shoppy.
