The good thing about a thread like this is that a topic is raised about him, we all discuss it, with the overwhelming majority expressing our support for Burgan and the work he has done.

I think that the response here is a feather in his cap.

It also shows that almost any topic can be discussed, no matter how stupid (or otherwise) we think the OP was.

    Hmmm

    Me wonders "who is KingSlayer33"?

    While my first name is also Matt I can assure you "old dee" that my surname is definitely not Burgan. Sorry to disappoint though :)

    Also a slow time of the year AOB!

    Almost anything would get a run at present.

    As strange as this may sound mate I did not think it was.

    My father told me a long time a go not to check to much on what people think of you because there will always be one that dislikes you.

    and you cannot win em all!

    Your Dad is right.

    I reckon I am a terrific fella - smart, friendly, supportive, good fun to be around, but some people think I'm and out and out CX@#!

    I've got a couple of baby seal pups that need clubbing if a few of the Burgo bashers want to take them on too!

    Regarding Burgan, I have to say, I rate the bloke!

    Comes across as very down to earth, and easy going..........knows his stuff, and overall seems like a decent guy.

    Give me Matt Burgan over some of the other smug tossers in the media everyday of the week!

    I like him.

    The official Melbourne site was horrible a few years ago.

    The amount of content it has got now is awesome.

    Hope he stays working for the club.

    Is it just me or is this guy just a bit of amateur hour.

    Jordie's sister did so well the other night and deserves the mantle.

    Thoughts.....

    As far as I know he's a writer. I remember reading a lot of his stuff when he was working at AFL.com.au (mainly on the drafts) and it was impressive. The stuff he has done on the MFC website has been good too... a million times better than what was being put on there before he came on board.

    Love his work. Not some plumfaced journo going through the motions. Loved the B&F interviews especially the Good Times and Chippa and Chunky interviews.

    Keep it up Matt.

    • AFLW REPORT: Adelaide

      Last week’s bitter disappointment turned into player-led resolve as Captain Kate Hore marched her team onto a pristine Princes Park under perfect skies.
      The #DeeArmy banner said Bring The Heat and the Demons delivered a fierce, high-quality contest and ultimately outworked and outpaced the gallant Adelaide Crows to win by 11 points.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.

      The Demons 2026 AFL Fixture is as good as can be expected considering their performances and finishes the past two seasons. Sunday games and late afternoon starts are on the menu with only 1 Friday night fixture until Round 15. They will travel 8 times including their home game in the Alice, their Gather Round game as well as a match against the Hawks in Tasmania. They will face, the Bombers, Bulldogs, the Suns, the Tigers, the Hawks and the Dockers twice.
