As a rebounding defender, yes, probably more likely than any other position.Burton is not simply a solid rebounding defender, he is a very good player capable of being an All Australian.
Position wise I have a strong feeling that we have.No way have we seen his ceiling.
He doesn’t have the intensity or composure to play KF or mid. Will pinch-hit against the lesser key forwards, like Walker, but I think it’s plain to see that Clarkson and Wright didn’t see him being the player that a lot of us had hoped at the end of 2017( which was a possible midfielder in waiting or key/leading forward), which is why they put him on the table.
