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.

    • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

      The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
