Port supporter here Googling Burgess because I desperately want him back. Can confirm it’s the man that works the magic, he left us his tricks and appointed a team to replace him; in 2014/15 we w

This has been 12 months in the works. It's all to do with his kids living in Adelaide. I think the fitness guy they got from Brisbane (Selwyn Griffiths?) could potentially step into his role. I t

I saw Caro say this on FC last night. She also said to her knowledge, he was contracted till the end of this year, or maybe next. However, if anyone saw Gus and Gawny's podcast 2-3 weeks ago, Dar

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

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
