That was my hope for Burton this season but he hasn't trained with the mids at all from what i have heard and been down back all pre season.I think those 4 will stand you in gre
McDonald highly like to average more playing a predominately midfield role, especially given the lack of quality depth at the Roos this season. Burton being in the top 6 is a personal gut feeling, one that I can't justify on previous performance or obvious opportunity to make a case for. My personal belief is he'll be a smokey for an outside midfield role for the hawks this season, replacing Hartung and floating back as a defensive winger. We are yet to see that eventuate and we haven't' got into JLT either.
However in his first full season he managed a 84 average and it was his first time playing down back as well. He is also one of our best kicks and i think we are going to look to get the ball in his hands as much as possible. I am nervous about him but i think he could be great value and could finish as a top 6 defender. Also in under 5% of teams so he could be a bit of a pod without needing to take a huge risk.
