Port Adelaide great Peter Burgoyne is hopeful to see both of his sons on the Power list come the end of 2021, reportsย The Herald Sun'sย Matt Turner.
Trent Burgoyne is currently a rookie on the Power list as a small forward and now youngest son Jase is a big chance to get to the club in the 2021 draft via the father-son rule.
Peter played 240 games for the Power, while brother Shaun managed 157 games for the club before making the move to Hawthorn.
โItโs going to be like watching me and Shaun starting all over again, hopefully,โ Peter told The Herald Sun.
โItโd be sort of like deja vu.
โTheyโd play AFL anywhere but to play at Port Adelaide, hopefully thatโs where they should end up โ thatโs the family club.โ
Peter added that Jase has been around the club for most of his life.
โJase has been around the footy club for the last 17 years,โ he said.
โTheyโre Port Adelaide through and through.โ
Jase has spent the last week at the club doing rehabilitation from a post-season surgery to clean up a minor tear of his meniscus.
Jase was outstanding for Woodville-West Torrens in the SANFL's under-18 competition, averaging 29 disposals per game and had the second most disposals in the competition. He also finished third in the competitions best-and-fairest.
Standing at 184cm, Jase is 7cm taller than his brother Trent, and has a vast array of skills and attributes that could make him one to watch for the future.
Woodville-West Torrens talent manager Darren Hams said Jase knows how to find the footy and use it well.
โHe reads the play really well and knows how to find the footy,โ Hams said.
โHeโs not going to bash or crash a pack because heโs not strong enough, but one-on-one he has the smarts to use his body the right way and get his hands on the footy, and is clean with it.โ
Dad, Peter, believes Jase could be anything as long as he puts the work in.
โI donโt think anyone knows Jaseโs potential,โ he said.
โIt can be whatever it wants to be but it comes down to him doing the hard work and listening to his coaches.
โIโve always told them โyou canโt take shortcuts, youโve got to do extrasโ.
โDuring the COVID shutdown โฆ Jase was on the treadmill every day running and I think that put him in good stead.โ
Should Jase get to the club via the father-son pick, it will be the fourth time in the club's history.
Jase would also add to the Burgoyne family history should he be selected by the club, with Peter Sr, playing for the club in the 1970's.
Peter said it was his father who set the path for himself and Shaun to get to Port Adelaide, and he hopes to see the same for his sons.
โMy father was the one who put down the pathway for myself, then Shaun coming through,โ Peter said.
โWhen Trent got picked up, I said it was my proudest day, other than the day he was born.
โIf all goes to plan, I hope my boys can have a good 10 or 12 years at the club, or even longer and cement their names at Port Adelaide as well.โ
