St Kilda selected him at pick 60 in the 1993 Pre-season Draft, from Victorian Football League (VFL) club Dandenong.[3] A midfielder, Bourke averaged 20 disposals a game in his debut season, from his 14 appearances. He earned the maximum three Brownlow Medal votes in just his third game, against the Sydney Swans at Waverley Park.[4]
