Height: 185cm Debut:
Weight: 83kg Date of birth: 1978-05-04

Burton has managed to play 20 or more games in a season just once in the past five years. His durability is a concern and despite playing the first eight games of the season it was obvious he was carrying niggling injuries. Once he got his body right his numbers improved as he averaged 15 disposals, seven marks and booted 18 goals in the second half of last season compared to an average of 11 disposals, five marks and a total of six goals in the first half. At 29, Burton may play the rest of his years as a permanent forward with less time spent in the midfield.
