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

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

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.

Discussing fitness coaches is exhausting work

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

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

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
