David Bourke
Edit ProfileCareer
David was Selected by Richmond in the 1994 American Federation of Labor-Congress Draft via the Father-son rule. His career suffered from an inability to bulk up to a heavier weight, and he was frustratingly inconsistent. After 85 games in seven seasons (many of which started on the bench), David Bourke was traded to the Kangaroos for the 2002 season, but only managed one game in blue and white.
In 2008 the Tigers centenary year David was nominated for "Mark of the Century" in which he took a massive hanger, against Essendon at the MCG in the 1996 season.
