Listen to the last episode:

Nathan Burke has been involved in elite football across five decades and was involved in some of the biggest stories in that time.

Towards the end of his playing career, Burke had a seat at the table for the incredible recruitment of Malcolm Blight as senior Saints coach and he was at the Saints through the tumult that was the Thomas and Lyon eras.

Burke was also at the business end of the early days of the AFLW as coach of the Western Bulldogs.

And don’t forget his role in helping Trent Cotchin to beat a suspension in the lead up to the 2017 Grand Final in his time on the Match Review Panel.
