    Oh please, oh please. Tell me Saty is taking over his job.

    In all fairness, Burgo at times got the rough end of the pineapple. He was the PR face of the club for the years we were being embarrassed on a weekly basis. Working at the club stopped him from asking the difficult questions and as such he was like our Baghdad Bob (the propaganda minister, not the Demonland poster). You knew what he was pitching softballs at his interviewees but  he still had to put food on the table.

    Though I must say I genuinely did fear for his safety during those interviews with Neeldy. I thought he was going to knock him out, starve him in a hole then make a suit out of his skin at times.

    It's a shame to see him go.

    I always enjoyed his enthusiasm and professional attitude. Even after a loss, it was obvious it cut him deep.

    Thanks for the years Burgs.

    Appreciate his efforts at the club over the years. As passionate about the club as any going around. All the best and here's hoping the Butrgatron Phantom Draft makes a long awaited return.

    Someone should interview him with non-questions about his time at the club. He took a page out of the Mark Stevens book on interviewing, making statements and expecting the interviewee to drive the conversation.

    He was not functioning as a journalist, it is a PR position to be fair.

    No big loss to the club but best of luck elsewhere???

    Not sure about that. The media who cover AFL regularly claim that the best two clubs for the media to deal with are Melbourne and North Melbourne. That's an important job, particularly for clubs with low prime time free-to-air coverage. I don't know if that was Burgo's role, but if it were, he may well be a big loss unless his replacement ensures that the club retains that status.

    I enjoyed your work Burgs, and good luck with what lays ahead.

    ......... and to anyone who enjoys putting the boot in, I'd like to see them run captivating interviews and newsy stories week, after week, after week, during the gloom and doom that that our Club endured for most of Burgo's time with us.

    A fine effort by Burgo to see us through the tough times. One fine Melbourne day we will look back on his fine performance and realise just how fine it was. 

     

    (Thanks Burgs)

    Didn't know personally but saw the outcomes of his efforts. Thankless task always done professionally and with genuine emotion and interest of those that I saw. Displayed passion that I hope is real and he can continue his allegiance. Having endured the lows it would be great if he also enjoyed the future highs.

    wish him well and hope that the time at the Demons has added to his skills experience and helped him progress in work and life.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
