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. 1 Quote

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. 4 Quote
DEE32 100 Posted September 1, 2024 Posted September 1, 2024 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. 2 Quote
Demonland 74,340 Posted September 4, 2024 Posted September 4, 2024 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. 2 1 3 Quote

Adam The God 30,714 Posted September 4, 2024 Posted September 4, 2024 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. 6 Quote
bing181 9,472 Posted September 4, 2024 Posted September 4, 2024 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. 1 Quote
