I don't think i have ever seen Burton take a hanger, the best i have seen is a strong mark, but that is it.

Serious?? :shock:

Granted he has taken as many in recent time (highlight reel in his earlier days), but you're still guaranteed 1 or 2 spccies a year from him (well maybe not this season)

Sure back in Burton's early days he took a fair few, but i was only a boy. ;)

Burton DOES take some hangers...... maybe 1 or 2 every couple seasons.

Some people tend to over exaggerate and act as though he takes one every game.

Burton's early career was marred by wayward kicking that caused turnovers, and sometimes getting in a team members way by going for marks the other guy was in the better position for, but he was always took at least one spectacular mark per match. During last year, carrying injury, he did lose some of his leap but he still took 94 marks and topped the Crows goal kicking with 34 in his limited season. That's not a bad effort.
He is not my favourite player because of his tendency to errors, but there is nothing boring there.... ;)

I saw Adelaide v Essendon last year

Adelaide played keepies off all night - it was the most boring game of football I saw all year including SANFL and SAAFL

Burton kicked a bag of points / out of bounds / to the opposition, but, FMD, he was in the best players in the morning

Took a hanger, I think, but gee it was bad football to watch - lucky we were in a box with plenty of gas - one of the blokes tried to turn the TV over to SBS to get some swedish action

Burton is the most gangly un co-ordinated looking bloke running around the AFL. He annoys the shit out of me.

Neither of the South Australian teams are particularly exciting to watch.
Not a big fan of St Kilda either.

Port should be, and when all goes well I think they are ... They have heaps of pace and run and some awesome talents near goal.

I know it's stupid as I'm only an "armchair expert" (and I use the last of those terms loosely lol), but I seriously question the style they play sometimes.
