Past Player of the Week

GERALD BURKE

Blue to the core, Gerald Burke was a versatile and valuable player for the Carlton Football Club in seven of the eight seasons between 1953 and 1960. Although absent for a year coaching in 1956, he returned to Princes Park in 1957 and became an early mentor to a young John Nicholls in Carlton’s ruck. Five years after Burke’s retirement from the field, he was appointed Treasurer of the club, and later still, became an incisive and popular radio commentator. ‘Burkie’ had a long football apprenticeship at Princes Park, which began when he joined Carlton’s Under 19 squad in 1949 and celebrated a Premiership with them that same year after being recruited from Carlton Stars (Sunday League). The following season he moved up into the Reserves team, and in 1953 – the year he made his debut in the Carlton seniors – he experienced the thrill of playing in the curtain-raiser on Grand Final day at the MCG. At full-forward, he kicked three goals as the Blues’ Reserves defeated their Essendon counterparts to win a second-successive minor grade Premiership under the astute coaching of club great Jim Francis.

Image of the Week - Rhino

In amongst the pictures of glory which are plentiful in the Blueseum, we often find little treasures that show a bit more of the reality - from injuries, to disappointment, to great action shots...

A recent article celebrating great Carlton facial hair on this site got our photo reviewers searching for a good one of Rhino's sidies. We found it - but look at those cannons as well!
