Nathan Burke (born 6 February 1970) is a former Australian rules footballer and former coach of the Western Bulldogs team in the AFL Women's competition (AFLW).
[1] Burke set the club record for most games—323—at his retirement, which remained the benchmark until broken by former teammate Robert Harvey in round 7, 2006.
His professional career spanned 1987–2003 despite missing most of 2002 with a knee injury, with Burke deciding to retire late in the season, in the Round 19 clash with Richmond, which the Saints won by 80 points.
[citation needed] It was also notable for the fact that the coaching panel of Richmond that day included fellow St Kilda teammates Danny Frawley and Stewart Loewe, who stayed on the ground in honour of Burke following his parade lap (with Alex Lloyd's "Amazing" played at the ground).
[citation needed] In 2015 he rejoined the AFL Match Review Panel, a role he held prior to joining the Board at St Kilda.
