Thank you Darren! You’ve helped take the players to another level and I don’t just think it’s fitness wise either. I think you’ve helped them mentally as well. 
 

Best of luck for the future and hope you love being around the kids more.

Looking forward to Selwyn getting amongst it.

PS if we have a heap of injuries let’s not just jump on this Burgo has left/Selwyn has no idea narrative.

    Barrett bailed him up about it after the game - he said he recently made the decision after exploring all the options.

    And it was his best mate Greg Stafford who got him across!

    As the saying goes “it takes village to get the village to be able to have power running mids”…

    Selwyn is taking Burgo's role. He's been following him closely all year and knows all the planning and structures in place to keep the players in top condition. Apparently the players will be even fitter next year as we peak in fitness. 

    Selwyn was a former sports and conditioning coach at Brisbane, so he's not new to the role. He also has an Osteopathy background. 

    Yes I've heard Selwyn was highly rated at Brisbane and so was a good get.  You seem to know how it works...  Does that mean someone will replace Selwyn's role?  I imagine with Burgo moving on some decent coin will be freed up in the soft cap?

    Cheers, Burgo. He was a pivotal get, and I’m fairly sure he’s left his methods behind. I once heard him say that the medical and performance team at MELB is the best he’s ever worked with.

    You'd think they'd have a pic of him in Adelaide gear by now ... would probably annoy some Crows supporters seeing him in mfc gear

    Youve triggered a thought. Why don’t support staff like at least coaches and assistant coaches get Premiership medallions. People like Burgess deserve them just as much as well.

    One of the great things about the NHL Stanley Cup is they engrave virtually every member of the winning organisation on it. assistant coaches, video analysts, physio’s, team owners etc

    First time I’ve ever heard of a team wanting to emulate us. It feels good

    Last Years Preliminary Final and Grand Final will change the way the game is played 

    no doubt about it

    Crows advertising for a Burgess replacement?

    Burgess is listed as "High Performance Manager", so this role would be under Burgo, I'd say.

      It's Game Day or has everyone given up. Maybe it is because a prime time Friday game is so rare ... double checks today is Friday ... Come on DL'ers support the team one last time for the year!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The Demons return to Casey Fields (aka the Field of Dreams) this Saturday to host the Saints in Round 2. If you’re feeling lucky, head down the Monash for some family-friendly footy—you might even walk away a winner. The first 5,000 adults through the gate will receive an entry into the $10,000 helicopter ball drop. With Casey’s infamous wind, what could possibly go wrong? Closest ball to the pin wins. So spread the word, get down there—and good luck!

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.
