David Bourke

[blurton]

What's happened to David Bourke? I remember a time when we had him he was considered an automatic selection, at least I thought he was. The man was tall, could take a good grab, and would take a quality tall opposition forward. I remember looking forward to his returns from injury to bolster our defence.

He was a bit thin, still is. His decision making was often questionable. Maybe that's why we let him go.

But what about now? He's a regular seconds player. He is disrespected by supporters of his own and other teams. He may be delisted.

David Bourke once showed plenty. He is the son of a VFL champion and now, it's all gone horribly wrong.

I used to cringe anytime Bourke went any further back than the centreline. Yes, his decision making was terrible and often cost us goals. He was also too lightly framed to be strong enough to play as a legitimate defender.

The only thing I am spewing about is that that AFL lifted the father/son limit to 100 games, meaning we mightn't get to see a 4th generation Bourke running around in the Tiger colours.

Surely society wouldn't allow David Bourke to reproduce?

David 'Jughead' Bourke. What a joke. What an example he was of what's wrong with Richmond - and still is today i.e. the complete and utter overrating of players, keeping them at the club for years and, in a lot of cases, paying them 'over the odds' to boot.

The recruiting, and subsequent management of our playing list is the worst of any club in the league - which is probably just a reflection of the poor off-field talent we have.

Sorry to disappoint but yes you are paying for him at North.

He tried to cross the road and a gust of wind picked him up.
Yet to be seen since

I was there and it was a real hanger, hovered for a fair while.
Bit stiff was Bourkey, never put on any weight and his shoulders were stuffed.
Crazy brave.

You waited seven years to make your first bigfooty post about a guy who left the club 16 years ago

Seriously????

I have memories of being a little kid and seeing David Bourke take mark of the century in the goal square, go back and miss. Two weeks in a row. Can anyone confirm?

True (at least once against the Saints). His hanger over Hird was his best mark, though.

David Bourke should have been a legend at Richmond. When he arrived at about age 18 or 19, he was a fantastic, quick backman who weighed about as much as an empty tissue box, but was as brave as his dad. He kept diving into packs and destroying his shoulders. We all thought, "Well, as soon as he puts on 15-20kgs he'll be our full-back for 15 years".

He didn't, and he wasn't.
