Ep #203 – Shaun ‘Silk’ Burgoyne – Mallee Park to AFL superstar (Sport)

In the realm of Australian Rules Football, few names shine as
brightly as Shaun Burgoyne. A four-time premiership star,
Burgoyne has etched his name into AFL history with a career
marked by skill, resilience, and an unyielding commitment to
success.


Shaun Burgoyne, affectionately known as "Silk" for his smooth
style of play he hailed from a footballing family and played a
pivotal role in the Port Adelaide Football Club first ever AFL
Premiership in 2004 alongside his brother Peter.


Over his nine seasons with Port Adelaide, Shaun solidified his
reputation as a dependable and versatile player. His ability to
impact the game both in midfield and across half-back earned him
accolades, and he played a pivotal role in Port Adelaide's 2004
Premiership triumph.


In 2009, he made a high-profile move to the Hawthorn Football
Club, a decision that would prove instrumental in his pursuit of
further premiership glory. Joining a team on the cusp of a
dynasty, Burgoyne's experience and leadership qualities played a
crucial role in the Hawks' three consecutive premierships from
2013 to 2015.


On our chat we discussed some of Silk's amazing career
highlights, his footy journey from Mallee Park to playing AFL,
his funniest team mates along the way, Shaun's partnership with
Omo and whether there were any regrets about leaving Port to move
to the Hawks.


Thanks so much to Shaun for his time, to Nicole Osborne from
Bastion PR, to the team at PodBooth for putting this great video
together and to the Southern Slugs Football Club for their
ongoing support!
