Fred Burge (born 6 September 1923) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Richmond in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
Burge, who arrived from Castlemaine, played in two grand finals early in his career, despite not being a regular member of the side.[1][2] He was on a forward pocket in the 1942 VFL Grand Final, his sixth league game and started from the same position in the 1944 Grand Final, which was just his 15th appearance for Richmond.[2] His side lost on both occasions.[2]
He had his breakthrough year in 1945, kicking 55 goals from his 20 appearances, which made him Richmond's leading goal-kicker for the season.[2] A rover, he played with the club until the 1951 pre-season, when he suffered a serious knee injury in practise.[3][4]
