Come on, Melbourne. Asleep at the wheel here if we don't get him back.

So what happened to going to Adelaide to be near his kids ?

Maybe that's what has motivated his desire to leave the state?

Carlton apparently have already signed him.

I thought he went to Adelaide to be closer to family.

He did, but that was during covid times.

Now the kids are 3 years old and Carlton are prepared to offer him half of Lygon St. 

Money can’t buy happiness but it can buy return flights to Adelaide, boarding school and trust funds.

Wake up Melbourne and offer whatever this bloke wants/demands.

I’d have hoped we made a genuine offer but the idea he’d replicate 2021 is unlikely when you look at the rest of his career.

And if the footy department cap is a legit thing paying a fortune for Burgo would mean skimping on coaching and recruiting.

Burgo made sure we had a good replacement and good processes in place.

If he wants silly money then let Carlton pay it and make sure we’re spending on fresh coaching and list management staff.

Part of Burgo’s philosophy was resilience and playing through duress and injury. I wonder if part of the disconnect between the playing group is there is a split in belief. Max clearly for the model playing through injury half the year, Trac post incident certainly not, but also playing Spargo game one or Petty all year, surely created doubt in its effectiveness for some of the team. Even May might be thinking twice. Maybe this forms part of the grievances and a fresh approach needs to be sort out. At least a model that is universally trusted.

Burgess not going to the Blues

CARLTON has poached Sydney fitness guru Rob Inness to serve as the Blues’ new high-performance boss.

Inness will see out the season at the minor premier and premiership-hunting Swans, where he has made a significant impact since arriving in late 2020 as head of athletic performance.

I maintain it was Burgo's fitness program and Selwyn's injury management partnership that was so successful in 2021.

If we can afford both and Selwyn is prepared to re focus on just injury management, that could be huge for us.

Selwyn is more than competent.

We need to stop looking for "gurus" as some kind of miracle workers. 

Burgess has run fitness departments for plenty of teams who haven't even made the 8 - including us. Not doubting his capability, but he's just one factor amongst many.
