He really shits me cause he is so talented and big but I never see him looking urgent or have mongrel, he is honestly better as a centre, I’d rather someone tough there like taffe and Hutchinson, or burton at 13 . Even Critta at 6.. who knows tbh but hope it’s not a year of tweaking
It’s a strange one.
He strikes me as the kid who was always the super naturally talented one. Always the best player that just cruised along without ever having to work on his game.
Now he is playing at the top level. It’s the guys that we’re putting in the extras in juniors. Not necessarily the most naturally talented ones, that are the successful ones. They have the desire and passion. They have the mental game.
I think Burto doesn’t understand or know how to do that. I think he is a player that has just turned up and everything worked. His will to do the 1% is invisible. Burton has the talent. But I think he needs to go within himself, to see if he has the desire to use his talent to its fullest. I think some sports psychologist could greatly improve his game.
That being said he should do a couple of seasons at centre. With the odd cameo at 6. I think he could be a very good 6. However he needs to find is game first.
