James Graham 0:19
Coming up, Bronson Zeri's future under the microscope, Critter's origin call-up debate, and we kick off with Sunday Sinbin, where Matt Burton himself fronts the mic after that nail-biter against Manly.
Matt Burton joins us this afternoon on the Sunday Sinbin. Matt, thanks so much for giving us some time this afternoon. Congratulations, a much overdue needed win.
Matt Burton 0:42
Cheers, fellas. Yeah, it was very good to get the win last night. Obviously, we've been close to finding our best footy lately, but yeah, it's just good to get the two points last night.
James Graham 0:52
Birdo, it's Heinie May. Congratulations on a tough win. The field goal, Critter obviously got in there and had a couple of cracks. I didn't notice you were really jumping in there to put your hand up. Is that a little bit of nerves or just, you know, Critter's the man for the job?
Matt Burton 1:07
We've got sort of a process there that we stick to, that we've been training for in them situations.

What insights does Matt Burton share about his positional switch?

Matt Burton 1:12
So, yeah, Krita's usually at the back. He's the main man. But me and Galvo are sort of on either side just in case he gets too much pressure or, yeah, we'll be there.
James Graham 1:22
Hi, it's Jimmy Graham here. Congratulations on a nerve-wracking but fantastic win yesterday evening. I want to talk to you about the positional switch, obviously named in the sixth jersey, but playing in the centres. Is that going to be something that will be here to stay or a one-off for Manly?
Matt Burton 1:39
Thanks, mate. Yeah, I'm not too sure yet. You just have to wait and see. But, yeah, I think Critter's obviously played there a few times in the past and got a bit of experience there. So, yeah, sort of been speaking to the coaches mid-year and just trying to find my best consistent footy as well. So we sort of tried that last night. It went all right. So, yeah, I'm not sure what it'll be like moving forward. But, yeah, it's just good to get the win last night.
David Riccio 2:07
Hey, Matt, it's Brent Reid here. You mentioned playing your most consistent footy. I mean, you look at the stats last night, I think you ran 19 times, 140 metres, right? That running game would seem to be the key to unlocking your best. You obviously went in last night with an idea to run as much as you could. Is that fair to say? Or what was sort of the game plan in that respect?
Matt Burton 2:30
Yeah, 100%. I think that's when I'm at my best, when I'm running the footy and getting involved in the game. I think, yeah, last night I had a real clear focus to go out there and run the ball and just do the simple things well. And I think when I'm doing that, it gives energy to the team. And the more I can do that, the better.
James Graham 2:47
Beto, obviously, last night's victory gets the Dogs to six wins and within touching distance. How's the belief in the camp? Obviously, the last two wins, they're wins without, I think, playing not really our best, but we found a way to win. But just what does that do to belief that we can be back playing finals football again this year?
Matt Burton 3:09
yeah it's massive obviously the last two wins we've we've won but um we still got a lot of lessons in them games which is which is really helpful as well so um we're still trying to find our full 80 minute performance i think last night we showed glimpses but just handing over too much cheap ball and um yeah i think our best is still in front of us so that's uh positive moving forward but yeah the next couple of games are really important for us and So, yeah, we've just got to go back to training, learn our lessons and hopefully put it all together next week.
James Graham 3:38
Yeah, mate, you can definitely notice the improvement there. I thought your forward pack was great. They turned up for each other. But you're buying Harry Hayes a beer by any chance for that awesome chase he did on Ruth and Garrick. He deserves one. He deserves a couple.
Matt Burton 3:50
Yeah, I know. He's always making big plays like that that people don't see. And, yeah, I thought our middles were outstanding as well.
