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

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

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.

Stafford is Burgo's best mate. When he joined he told the Demons he'd sign a 10 year contract.....

Hang on, what's this mate?

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

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    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
