Burns came to Essendon from Dromana, as the 51st selection of the 1988 VFL Draft. He was a member of the Essendon side which won the 1990 Foster's Cup, kicking two goals in the grand final.[2] He made seven regular season appearances for Essendon that year and also participated in their semi final loss to Collingwood.[3] His collision with Alan Richardson in that game resulting in the Collingwood player breaking his collarbone, which would cost him a spot in their premiership team.

Having not played a single senior game in the 1992 and 1993 seasons, Burns made his way to St Kilda in the 1994 Pre-Season Draft, but would make only four appearances.[3]
