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 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

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

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
