I'd have thought the media would have flogged the Arsenal (and Liverpool) angle to death by now.

    He is a highly mobile professional like most in the sporting world.

    Will not be long before MFC is on his CV.

    More's the pity Ernest. It would be nice to have him around long enough to leave an indelible mark on our club.

    I'd be offended if I was Richo listening to that! "Really enjoying working with the coaching group - very young and dynamic, with the exception of Richo"

    Is he a fossil or not dynamic, or both?

    But gees, he speaks well, doesn't he. I reckon we're in good hands.

    Indeed, assuming he is the genuine article.

    Some professionals move on so quickly that it is hard to judge their worth or success.

    They are opportunists who know when to jump.

    If the club takes off in 2020 , Burgess may want to stay longer or negotiate a lucrative contract extension otherwise he will be off like gough.

    He ain’t no Brad Green

    Seriously though watching interviews like this, it is not difficult to see why this bloke is so highly rated.

    Disappointing report I thought. No word on KK or Spargo nor any news on Bennell. Hope he’s more informative later.

    As a professional for sure he will move on once he has achieved a record of note - no matter how long or short he will leave an imprint .

    He spoke exceptional well at fan forum. Off the cuff and not planning to speak but Goodwin threw to him several times to let him handle his area of expertise. Good of Goodwin, not hogging the mike.

    • 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.
