If he returned Carlton would be in the box seat to secure his services.

Correct. Thought the same thing after I read about the Blues' High Performance Manager retiring this morning.

Current Dees' admin don't sack staff so we will have to wait for changes based on people moving on.

    He's actively trying to get people to join Adelaide, doesn't sound like a fella who wants to come back to Victoria. 

    There's another screenshot on twitter of a post from DB's linkedin where he's pushing the role as well

    Such a weird article, well only if the conversations and contracts haven't already be concerned.

    Burgess, who only has eyes for Voss,  (but not the Melbourne Football Club being a key component of their premiership in 2021)

    Well I'd like to get him back

    Not likely to happen. Don't think Burgo and Goody saw eye to eye on a number of things, despite the '21 flag

    I accepted the key cog in our premiership going home to be with his kids 

    it would hurt a lot of he ends up back in Victoria not at us

    I didn't know that Moonshadow, and sorry to hear it.    I'm a huge fan of the condition Burgo had our players in

    Sounds like you remembered halfway through your post you're on a public forum, Mr Darren Burgess?

    Not what Burgess said in that lengthy interview he gave at the end of his time with us.

    I agree. Goodwin and Darren worked very closely together

    Club, including goody, were absolutely devastated to lose Burgess

    If he is interested in coming back move heaven and earth to get him back to the Dees, this guy is the absolute top of what he does and if he stayed i suspect we would have won 2-3 premierships. that's how big an impact he makes.

    Discussing fitness coaches is exhausting work

    What I find annoying is it always goes around in circles.

    Stafford is Burgo's best mate. When he joined he told the Demons he'd sign a 10 year contract.....

    Does the Burgess model work anymore?  Crows haven't really improved, and our players look exhausted in the second half of each season 2022-24 following the Burgess model.

    Crows have been below average in q1 and q2, terrible in q3, but I think have the second best q4 record this year.  Don’t think Burgo is the problem.

    They're both in a joint partnership for a business they run together.

    Pretty sure it's a gym in Adelaide.

    We were super fit during our finals run in 2021. blew teams out of the water.

    It's not like our current fitness team are doing a stellar job. A change is justified imv so if he's available we should bring him back.

    My advice "Dont look back" Just because it worked once doesn't guarantee it's success

    Plow your own row be innovative fresh and renew. This would fit in with the current malaise trying to repeat 2021 when everything has changed. Move on from the past

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day on Friday night. ANZAC Eve. The big stage at the ‘G. The Demons return to the spotlight for one of our most significant nights on the football calendar, taking on the Tigers in a clash that always carries extra weight given the gravity of occasion of the commemoration of the ANZAC Spirit. Under the lights, in front of a packed house, this is where moments are made. Can the Dees rise to the occasion and deliver on the big stage, or will Richmond spoil the night? All the build-up, discussion, and in-game reactions here. Go Dees.

    • NON-MFC: Round 7

      Round 7 is here, with the ANZAC commemoration games taking centre stage. Who are you tipping this week, and which results would be most favourable for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      Who would have imagined, when the season kicked off early last month, that Melbourne would emerge from the opening six weeks with wins over both Queensland powerhouses? At the time, Gold Coast and Brisbane were the competition’s early pace-setters, the flavours of the month, and the prospect of the Demons toppling both within the course of a fortnight seemed remote. Yet here they are, banking those scalps alongside home victories over two traditional Victorian rivals and building a quietly impressive resume.

      The Dees hit the big Friday night stage for the first and only time this season when they take on the Tigers under lights on ANZAC Eve at the G. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      Before Sunday, the last time the Brisbane Lions had walked onto the turf of the Melbourne Cricket Ground, they celebrated the pinnacle of the sport - an AFL premiership secured in emphatic fashion for the second consecutive year.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      From the outset, the Casey Demons lacked any spring in their steps. They were out-hustled and out-bustled and finally outplayed by the Brisbane Lions by 38 points on their home turf in perfect conditions at Casey Fields.
