Ronnie Burns (footballer)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ronnie Burns (born March 13, 1973) was an indigenous Australian rules football player who played for both Geelong Football Club and Adelaide Crows in the Australian Football League.
Originally from the Tiwi Islands of the Northern Territory, Burns moved to Western Australia and played football for West Perth Football Club before being drafted to the Geelong Cats in the AFL. Burns led the Cats in goalkicking 5 times, playing as a small crumbing forward during a less decorated time for the club.
After a period of poor play, the Cats traded Burns to the Adelaide Crows for Ben Finnin, who ultimately did not play a game for the Cats. Burns played out the rest of his career with the Crows, but failed to make the same impact as he had made for the Cats.
