Another key St Kilda figure David Misson walks out on Saints.

Not sure who he is, but this article suggests that we have poached ex-StKilda fitness manager, David Misson, from St Kilda.

Anybody got more insight into David, or even the role of a fitness manager? Obviously an important role, being involved fitness, training, and rehabilitation

Seeing as the Saints have been in three GF's in last couple of years, probably a good poach.

    Good to see if true.

    And a high performance manger is not just a fitness manager, BTW.

    Just saw that he had left according to Mark Robinson on twitter and thought we have to get this man!

    He was at Sydney during their premiership and came down to St Kilda with Lyon. So two periods of success and highly regarded. When Neeld said he wants to be surrounded by a good team this is the kind of person he is talking about.

    His wife is the Principal at Melbourne Girls Grammar School (started when he came down) so I doubt he'll be leaving Melbourne.

    The response when I broke the news to my mate who is a massive saints supporter and part of the coeterie:

    No way really?

    He is the reason we have hardly had any soft tissue injuries for the past 4 seasons, and therefore have been able to keep the same players out on the track apart from the collision injuries like Lenny.

    If that's true that @#$$ing sucks.

    It’s a common belief that the coach and his high performance manager are the two most important personnel in a club's football department.

    Just keep poaching those IP's..

    I don't know heaps about him, but I know enough to say that I expect he would be an outstanding 'recruit' for the Dees. He was poached from Sydney by Ross Lyon a year or so after Lyon moved to the Saints. IIRC, he is attributed to being the architect of Sydney's phenominal run with very few soft tissue injuries (including during their 2005 premiership year).

    Well we could certainly use his magic.

    Major injuries and breaks etc will always unfortunately happen but you do wonder about all the soft tissue stuff..and teh 'epidemics' of Hammies that seemto break out

    Very exciting if confirmed

    He was at Sydney for their premiership, followed Ross Lyon across to St.Kilda. I suggested the club go hard for him years ago as his record with keeping players on the park is second to none. If it's true he is coming across I'd be extremely happy.

    And if he were to be consistently out performed by Old El Paso.

    Massive news if true!!!

    Success has followed this guy where ever he has been

    im pretty sure he is the same bloke who started out with the Australian cricket team in the Waugh years, I hope so they were tough uncompromising years of Australian sport.

    • 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.
