Jase Burgoyne Biography

Jase Burgoyne makes his AFL debut for Port Adelaide at Perth Stadium with 17 disposals (14 kicks and 3 handballs), 5 marks and a tackle in an 8-point loss to Fremantle.

Jase Burgoyne will make his debut for Port Adelaide in this week's clash against Fremantle.

Jase, the son of 2004 premiership player Peter Burgoyne, was told he would be playing his first game by uncle and 407-game legend Shaun Burgoyne in an emotional announcement.

Port Adelaide select Jase Burgoyne with pick No.60 in the 2021 National Draft.

Draft Report: The son of former Port Adelaide star Peter Burgoyne, Jase is more highly-rated than his older brother Trent, who has been delisted after being a father-son selection last year. Very lightly built, he is a tall wingman/halfback who is highly-skilled and a smart footballer like his dad. The raw teenager can also play in the centre square, and burst away from stoppages, and has enormous upside. Won the Eagles' under-18 best-and-fairest in his bottom-age season last year, after averaging 33 disposals and 133 ranking points, but hasn't been as dominant in 2021, after playing some League footy for Port Adelaide and in the reserves for the Eagles. After some uncertainty, he will nominate as a father-son prospect but where will a bid come?

Jase Burgoyne, whose dad, Peter Burgoyne, played in Port Adelaide's 2004 premiership, will nominate as a father-son for the club.

Port Adelaide father-son draft prospect Jase Burgoyne says he calls his father, Peter Burgoyne, before every game.

"He's been there since I started my footy journey and he sits down with me before every game. I'll give him a call before this one," Burgoyne said.

"Then after games we always chat about how I went and the feedback to get better. It's not always positive because he thinks that's the way to do it and to get a thick skin because the AFL environment is pretty cut-throat and he's preparing me for that. All the stuff he's done for me over the years has been a great help."

Port Adelaide will get a close look at father-son prospect Jase Burgoyne when the talented midfielder joins the club for a week of training this month as part of his NAB AFL Academy program.

Burgoyne, the son of 2004 premiership player Peter Burgoyne and brother of currently-listed Port player Trent, impressed last season at under-18 level for Woodville West Torrens. Horne, meanwhile, shapes as a very early selection after starring in 2020 and graduating to South Adelaide's senior side.
