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

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
