    7 News Adelaide reporting Burgess will be at the Crows in 2021.  Think this is a big loss if it happens!

    That he is.

    Apparently Burgess was a big part of getting Brown across the line, so no idea why he would’ve come across with Burgo leaving. I call BS

    ‘From next season’. Sounds to me like there’s every possibility Burgo goes either next October or possibly in March once he’s got us through the preseason.

    If it’s a compassionate release for family reasons and we’ve had time to find a replacement I’m completely fine with that.

    You would think his understudy would be well placed to take over when Burgess leaves so the fact he’s moved on tells me Burgess is staying for a while longer at least. It looks like Burgess will return to SA when his contract is up so hopefully the club have a replacement in mind and preferably one who will work in-house with Burgess before he goes, learn at the foot of the master.

    So 7 news Adelaide said Burgess was in the mix to go to Crows. They better sort this out soon. Don’t the 1-4 year players start pre season next week?

    Phil Merriman. Bummer. I was thinking they could work out a succession plan with him and Burgo.

    This will be a huge blow if he leaves, especially with what he has achieved in such a short time. The club simply has to hold him to his contract. 

    It cant be happening as only 2 weeks ago he was instrumental in BB coming across. I suspect and hope its happening at the completion of 2021 ready to take the  crows on for teh preseason of 2022.

    i think the only vital role he played was telling the club Brown isn;t going to be held back long term by his knee injury this season i dont think having burgo at the club sold us any more than any other club, i believe the burgo factor is being well overplayed in relation to browns signing

    What are these ''compassionate'' reasons ?

    His kids live in Adelaide I believe. If he wants to be back home I could understand that. But we’d want a proper succession plan

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
