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: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
