Alice Burke spoke to STK Media after our Round 7 loss to the Giants.
Tough and hardworking just like her father, the 18-year-old is poised to add a defensive element to the Saints’ young engine room.
Despite her rich football bloodline, Burke is a recent convert to Aussie Rules, having excelled in soccer at state level.
Prior to Round 1, the youngster inherited her father’s revered No. 3 guernsey, saying it was “a reminder to stand for the same things he stood for”.
Burke was selected with pick No. 24 as St Kilda’s first father-daughter recruit in the 2020 Women’s Draft.
Occupation: Student in Engineering at Swinburne University, store assistant at MINIMAX (part-time)
