The daughter of St Kilda legend Nathan Burke today committed to the Saints where her father etched his name into the record books.
Burke, who will wear the famous No. 3 guernsey, boasts toughness and skill on both sides of the body, backed up with consecutive best-and-fairest's for Sandringham Dragons.

Burke bloodline back at St Kilda

The Burke name will return to Moorabbin ahead of the 2021 AFLW Season, with St Kilda officially signing Alice Burke under the Father-Daughter rule.

Will leave this here for a few days, thought it deserved a bit more attention.

Brilliant news. Of course, considering our luck with procreation over the last 20 years, we should just about have an entire team of father daughter picks.

Thankfully it's now worth it.

Always liked Burkey, had his number on my jumper growing up, was just a hard nut at it and his endeavour was inspiring.

Great to see Alice chose the skill route instead, even if soccer bores me having two skills at national level in sports is rather impressive.

Great news! Looking forward to even more positives in the 2021 AFLW season!

Coached my niece who is up for the draft this year.
The kids loved him and so did the parents.

Good luck Sainter Alice

Nice one!!

Be great if she gets to be a saint joffa
But getting on any list will still be worth celebrating


Unless its the pies...or essendon

Very exciting for the club.

The father son/daughter rule is one of the special things about this game.

 

[Jade Buddha]

So the reverse applies that when we got a female player to 100 games her son can play for us.

 

[Munga]

Do we have any other father-daughter's coming through? You'd think we'd have the most!

 

[True Blue Saint]

So the reverse applies that when we got a female player to 100 games her son can play for us.

Surely it would be less - given the fact the AFLW season is about 7 or 8 games?

Saints haven't interviewed her, about 6 clubs have. Hoping she gets to the Dogs.
