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

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
