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

I remember him doing special comments for our game against them in round 2.
Honestly he sounded like he'd swallowed half a dozen lemons.
Very bitter

He is but he is WRONG

Absolutely. And he gets paid to display his ignorance. It's a classic Village Idiot move, make some sort of ridiculous statement then dig yourself a bit deeper by apparantly failing to notice that the best player on the competition plays for the team with no marquee stars. He's not not yet 21 so he's got at least a decade of marqueeing in front of him.

Why is anyone taking notice of Nathan Burke?

No idea. I think he may be ginger too but he dyes his hair.

This is what I take from it:

- St Kilda people are filthy about our success (makes me even more happy)
- He anticipates us winning this weekend (good)
- The journo shows his ignorance up to the readership but listing awards, achievements etc (maybe next time NB might not want to look like a goose in having a crack at us)

It's all good.

The St Kilda being miffed thing is a very nice side effect of any team success we will enjoy. It will make success even more enjoyable.

Too. Many. Concussions. Nathan.

(Either that...or he is deliberately being controversial or against the majority view so that people actually know that he is doing media work).

I think he may have tied that helmet he used to wear on too tightly or something.

I was once told - Best to keep your opinion to yourself and let everyone assume that you are an idiot, rather than open your mouth and remove all doubt.

Further proof that wearing a helmet does not prevent Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy and the associated dementia.

How does he explain the 5 players we have had in the AA side in the last 2 seasons?

That quote is falsely attributed to him. Bit of an historical myth.

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

My memory is not clear on this one but he did receive a smashed nose by a bulldog player back in the day and this must have left a lasting hatred of all things bulldog........good.

Burke is an old cockney-English word meaning %$#@.A profanity. Let's just say he lives up to the meaning.

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

We are a very even team. If you asked non Bulldogs fans to name our top 5 players, I think Bont would be the only unanimous selection.

Stringer, Wood, Libba, Dahlhaus, Hunter, Macrae, Picken, Bob, Boyd, Caleb are all worthy.
He'll regret this comment in two years (and hopefully in two weeks) time!!

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.

So Bourke by name, Bourke by nature.

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

I like it when the media underestimate us. The good part is our players know how good they are.

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