Western Bulldogs list ‘devoid of stars and marquee players’ - Nathan Burke

[Bulldog4life]

I worked for a couple of semesters at uni doing a major assignment task about Cockney rhyming slang. Berk (or Bourke in this case) is used in Cockney rhyming slang as a shortening of Berkshire Hunt. I'll leave it to peoples' imaginations as to what Berkshire Hunt might rhyme with in this case.

I heard Harold calling his father a right burke in Steptoe & Son in the 60's. They were very risque for the time.
