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%

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?

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
