Cillian Burke surprised some people at Geelong with his first goal for the club in a VFL match against Gold Coast Suns on Sunday. Just before half-time, in what was his debut in Geelong colours, the Kerry native struck a left-footed shot from a tight angle through the posts to the delight of his teammates. Burke had been battling a knee injury since joining the club.
"I'm naturally right-legged so a lot of people have been saying it to me, they didn't know I had that in my left leg," Burke said in an interview with Geelong's in-house media team.
