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)

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

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

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 

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.

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

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int

    POSTGAME: Rd 24 vs Collingwood

    The Dees played insipid, error riddled & uninspiring footy all night and in a lightning delayed match they eventually succumbed to Collingwood by 46 points at the MCG in the final game of the year. Thank God this season is finally over. Bring on 2025.
