The silky Hawk (@ShaunBurgoyne9), who played eight seasons with Port Adelaide before moving to Victoria, is enjoying another consistent season with the reigning premier.
Burgoyne's brutal initiation to AFL football
Burgoyne answered questions about his ill coach Alastair Clarkson, other indigenous players and what it means to wear Hawthorn's famous No.9 (worn by Hawk greats Shane Crawford and Robert DiPierdomenico.
When asked about the best indigenous player he has seen, Burgoyne gave former teammate (and 1993 Brownlow medallist) Gavin Wanganeen the nod ahead of Adelaide great Andrew McLeod, Swans dual Brownlow medallist Adam Goodes and another former teammate (and Coleman medallist) Lance Franklin.
As for his song of choice when running out onto a ground - Burgoyne named the sportsman's anthem, Eye of the Tiger.
Read his answers below.

— #IndigenousRound (@AFL) May 28, 2014.@ben_shepherdson It's been exciting, Melbourne is the sports capital of the world, there is plenty to do. #BurgoyneTakeover
— #IndigenousRound (@AFL) May 28, 2014.@HAWKER44 I haven't played 100 for Hawthorn yet but I'm only 3 games away I think! It will be a tough choice though #BurgoyneTakeover
— #IndigenousRound (@AFL) May 28, 2014Bigger brother's always better! RT @Mickeysarge: @AFL who is a better player? You or your brother peter? #burgoynetakeover
— #IndigenousRound (@AFL) May 28, 2014@rmilner23 I've got a couple of cousins playing at other clubs so probably family first. #BurgoyneTakeover
— #IndigenousRound (@AFL) May 28, 2014.@rmilner23 Gavin Wanganeen. I was lucky enough to play alongside him in a premiership as well. #BurgoyneTakeover
— #IndigenousRound (@AFL) May 28, 2014.@_VANDY_ Honesty and hard work are generally good values to have. #BurgoyneTakeover
— #IndigenousRound (@AFL) May 28, 2014@scagnetticon He's a fierce competitor, plays every game like it's his last. #BurgoyneTakeover
— #IndigenousRound (@AFL) May 28, 2014.@TimWilliamsEd Definitely big shoes to fill after Crawf and Dipper. Dipper was a five-time premiership player and both Brownlow winners.
— #IndigenousRound (@AFL) May 28, 2014.@DMcFarlane75 Gavin Wanganeen the best I've played with, and Goodesy would probably be the best against. Three Brownlows between them!
— #IndigenousRound (@AFL) May 28, 2014@ap_1801 Plenty of rehab and recovery and the enjoyment of training with my teammates #BurgoyneTakeover
— #IndigenousRound (@AFL) May 28, 2014@AFL_CamNoakes Wanganeen and for my song, probably Eye of the Tiger! #BurgoyneTakeover
— #IndigenousRound (@AFL) May 28, 2014@DylanMcInnes Hanging out with my kids and family time #BurgoyneTakeover
— #IndigenousRound (@AFL) May 28, 2014.@rishgoon I'll say Goodes but only just. #BurgoyneTakeover
— #IndigenousRound (@AFL) May 28, 2014.@MattySmith_23 There's probably two. A split between Akermanis and Phil Matera. #BurgoyneTakeover
— #IndigenousRound (@AFL) May 28, 2014.@tjholzer9 They're all great players. I can't split them but hard to go against my teammates! #BurgoyneTakeover
— #IndigenousRound (@AFL) May 28, 2014.@ctremmie It will be different not having him there but I'm sure Bolts will do a good job #BurgoyneTakeover
— #IndigenousRound (@AFL) May 28, 2014.@nicksplitter I'd love to see Long and Winmar roaming the wings. #BurgoyneTakeover
— #IndigenousRound (@AFL) May 28, 2014Thanks for all the great questions! #gohawks
