Comes across as a very amiable bloke which must be a refreshing change for the players and staff compared to Misson’s deadpan presentation.

Of course you saying that after having many conversations at training with Misso, no sorry that was me, Misso had a very good relationship with everybody

Don’t let your cape get caught on the way out. 

Sounds like an absolute class act to me. 

Early call I know but looks like a masterstroke appointment to me.

Unbelievable get to get someone with his resume. 

 

 

Now we just need a thread titled...

Meet Kicking High Performance Manager Darren Bennett

Is this a parody account?


I remember running into Misso in an empty Darwin gym prior to a game up there. I had my Demon singlet on and thought I’d say g’day next time our paths crossed. He fresh aired me.

Hahaha, don’t you know?! If you only had a scooter under your arm he would have spoken in depth for hours on each player.

This is a joke, right?

(Getting harder to tell on Demonland).

I'm looking forward to Burgess. I completely fail to understand all the Misson bashing. It's a symptom of the scapegoat mentality which gets nobody anywhere.


From what I can tell given the language used in all the articles about him it; it seems he's only currently signed for 1 year? Does anyone know if that's the case? I understand he's in-demand and may field offers end of next season, but will be frustrating if we're looking for another new guy after 1 season.

Yep agreed. If he went to the national soccer team or cricket Australia that would be one thing. If he marched into collingwood or the tigers that would be next level embarassing. Heres hoping he has some loyalty in his charecter and gives us a decent few year run. Might be he just wants to see if we're a basket case or a real thing. After 39 years supporting Im not sure I know myself!

I hadn't realised it was only 1 year.  Terrible mistake if so.  Poor for stability and continuity. 

I just can't imagine Pert would allow just a one year contract for such a critical position given the year we have just had.  It had to be at least 2 or 3 years to get the ongoing benefits for processes, player fitness and time for succession planning of a replacement.

I'm not sure if it is just 1 year, but can't find any information about the contract term anywhere and all the language in the articles says things like "signed for the 2020 season".

On re-reading the article I think it is poor phrasing by the writer as Burgess is quoted as saying: “It was the vision that was really sold by Goody (Simon Goodwin) and Josh Mahoney [that appealed to me]...“I was really excited about where the list was at, the potential for growth within the list [and] obviously the location of the club is fantastic".

That sounds more long term than one year.  ??

It's been doing the rounds that only days after Burgess signed with the MFC there was an offer tabled for a significantly larger deal from a bigger EPL club than The Gunners. A potential exit from the MFC contract was explored but not forthcoming, and the offer subsequently did not progress any further. 

Anyway, our new High Performance Manager has been described as reluctantly being at the MFC.

Reluctantly being at the MFC by choice? How odd.

  • 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.
