Des anyone a, why Burgo isn't still employed by the D's, B, what's he doing now?

He was made redundant

What @hemingway said in his post

Follow the players on Instagram, you don't have to post yourself, social media junkies like Clarry, Jack Viney are posting all the time, especially from the Camp

The hypocrites who used to bemoan the 'spin' from the Club, are now demanding more

 

When I used to live in Queensland, the only way I would get any information about the Demons is either this website, or the club website.  Burgs did a tremendous job at putting enough content up for me to get my weekly fix.  Demonland is/was a great way to communicate with fellow Demons.  Burgs was clearly passionate about the Demons - you could sense his excitement after a win, and his disappointment when we lost.  You could tell he was, in some ways, living his dream of being involved in the Melbourne Football Club from an employment perspective.

Even though I now live back in Victoria, I still don't have the luxury of attending training sessions, etc during the week, so I'm again relying on the Club website and Demonland.  What I can say though is that my 4yo son, who is starting to become obsessed with all things Melbourne, especially one M Gawn, I love showing him footage and/or photos on the MFC app/website of the players.  I much prefer him, at that age, to get his own little Gawny fix from the Club website than an internet chat room.

Personally, I think the preseason communications from the club has deteriorated.  I'm not going to slit my wrists over it, and the Club isn't going to lose my young bloke as a member, but it is definitely an area that I would love to see improved, as I enjoy the bit of quality time I get to spend with my son when we are watching videos or looking at photos of the players.

i understand the focus of pumping resources into the the football department as a priority. Which was PJ's approach. But really now that we have more resources they need to invest in growing our membership.

The way to grow our membership is to get kids and young people supporting our club.

In this day and age the way to connect and engage with kids and young people is through quality online content and social media.

Neither of my kids watch any free to air TV. At all. It is all youtube and Instagram and in my son's case also NBA.com. The only time my son mentions anything about the dees is when something pops up in his Instagram feed.

Burgs was fine but he wasn't the issue. The turn of the century approach to media and content is the issue. Get with the program dees.

Invest.

Develop some quality content t (like down the ground video, analysis etc) and not just 90 seconds rubbish clips, longer content (eg 15 mins). Fans will consume it and cast to their TVs or watch on their devices. I would.

Sort out the social media aspect.

Sort out a proper Youtube presence (the Dees MFC site is embarrassing). 

Simple really. But requires an investment

Well said mate, agree 100%

Rjay, everyone has spin to some degree. Just some more than others!

Except on the dance floor, by knees have gone. 

But I spin bulldust on this site most days.

Not really chap, this forum has a search function already found posts from both yourself and @McQueen making derogatory comments about Burgo's ability as a journalist, may keep searching      like me to repost them?

Go for your life, but it doesn't address the issue at hand and I don't see where I've bemoaned Burgo's being gone either.

The spin is you are picking and choosing bits & pieces of posters and making up the mythical poster.

A lot on here would like to see a bit more from the club.

Is there really anything wrong with that?

Put your money where your mouth is chap and link me those posts you’re so willing to accuse me of.

As rjay has mentioned, I too fail to see where or how I’ve been implicated in this diatribe defence you’ve dreamt up for Burgo...

I reckon I’ll hear crickets chirping before you get a reply back to me.

Ed: And furthermore, I would like to hope the site admin deal with an accusation of making “derogatory comments” appropriately when you come up empty handed.

Being on the other side of the ditch I welcome any and all information whether it be a fluff piece from the club or an in depth training report from sites like this. I don't think people should complain about having too much information. I'll take anything I can get. There is no over -saturation when it comes to the Demons for me.

If you don't want info don't click.

Who doesn't want to read about Salem's Barber Shop?

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
