This is a quote from Shaun Burgoyne about the Ports effort over the weekend:

Midfield ace Shaun Burgoyne, one of precious few Port players to acquit themselves adequately on the day, admitted his teammates were in need of a reminder that toughness was about attitude, not experience.

“It’s a mindset thing, the smallest player on the field can tackle and shepherd and do the one percenters,” he said today.

“(Players need to) just get your head around it and do it, there’s no reason why the tallest player in the team can’t do it or the smallest player, experienced or inexperienced.

“I’d say it comes back to discipline. The contested ball you have to tackle, chase, do the one percenters, it all comes back to discipline.”

I'm not bagging freo at all here, I just love what he is saying. We could learn something from it too hopefully.
