Would we consider Burton?

Posted by Parra-all-the-way on September 20, 2025 at 3:35pm

Reading places Burton is exploring his options and we have been suggested as potential targets. Wondering you consider him?

For me, 💯 yes. Him and moses in the halves, wow! Two good kicking options too.

Would be amazing but seems a bit unlikely.

Carter Gordon would be a wise pick up, plays similarly to Burton

If you could design a 5/8 to play along side Moses it would be Matt Burton lol. Easy yes

The kicking combo with Mitch would be awesome, but his lack of genuine pace worries me. I think Moses needs a quick and zippy 6, otherwise they just slow him down.

  He's pretty damn quick and powerful runner of the footy, if the eels manage to land Burton they'll be something else

We would. But im sure some limp dick f****s here would complain about it

  Lucky you're not in the AFL ... you'd get a 5 week suspension.

We would surely have to be rated as having one of the best halves pairings if we were to secure Burton. Our kicking game would be second to none.

Its a big yes from me but very unlikely

  Only way it happens is if dogs push for ponga and burton needs to be moved to make way for it immediately. Then eels can strike. So need to hope they really want ponga 😂

Yes definitely. Can play multiple positions.
