Would much rather lose Richardson than Burgess.

It's not a matter of either/or as far as I've heard. Burgo is likely back to SA more for family reasons I think.

There will probably be a thread about that.

I promise I won't start it, but I will prob comment. Nothing else to do in the off season!

 
Huge news for us and a massive win!
 

That's a great little off-season win if true, he's done a good job with what he had over one season so hopefully two seasons gives him a chance to really hone the attitudes and fitness of the playing group.


???

 

This makes me haaaaaaapeeeeeeeeeeee!

It would have been a big call to break contract at a time like this. Everything is so up in the air re Covid and the timing of pre season etc etc So his position is even more critical than normal . I imagine they might have said we need a year to replace you.  Doesn’t guarantee he would stay of course but I’m stoked he did.... if this is true

Adelaide are understood to have missed out on Darren Burgess, with the fitness boss set to remain at Melbourne, per Matt Turner/The Advertiser.
 

This might be your first unanimously liked post on DL Dazzle.

Great news.

I don't want to play negative nancy and burst anyone's bubble but the article's content doesn't instill me with any confidence.

"Adelaide has been in talks with Burgess about him joining from Melbourne, where he has spent the past 12 months, and he is keen to return to SA for family reasons.

But he is contracted for another two seasons with the Demons and is expected to stay there."

There is no new information here or a even a quote. It's just the author's conjecture based upon information that is already out there. We're not even 100% sure he is contracted for 2 more years. The initial reports of him coming to Melbourne only mentioned 1 year and the odd article here and there recently have mentioned this 2 more years. I'm not doubting the 2 more years but as we know contracts aren't worth anything these days and the "family reasons" can be a huge deal especially when it comes to breaking contracts.

I'd put a cork in those champagne bottles and let the MFCSS flow through your veins.

A credit to Burgess is my take. he could have easily walked away and under all  the current circumstances few would blame him.

That he remains, hopefully, to honour his contract is a class act.

I thought this was already fairly common knowledge. I may have read it wrong and may be the Crows link hadn't been raised previously

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

    Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.
