It's appointments like these that should make those who've chucked in their hard earned to help this club feel good about their contribution. It is making a difference and that difference will be felt

I cant for a minute speak for him but judging by some of his recent commentary since departing I think hes got a genuine soft spot for us. ANd why not . We can all look back and wonder why some thing

Looks that way Belze. With Gazza in the driving seat whippin' the horses! And Neeld having just grabbed hold of some of the reigns as well yellin' "shove over bro". This might have been the year it

I don't know anything about the guy but from what all you guys are saying it sounds like a good get!

Where are all the Melbourne bashers who said we are too passive and are therefore weak and amateuristic ? How do you like them apples?

Looks like we are rebuilding this sinking ship after all. Very excited!

St Kilda mate of mine was very effusive in his praise of Misson a while ago. As soon as I read that he was leaving St Kilda I thought 'gee he'd be a good get'. 10 minutes later the article was amended and lo and behold! Go Dee's!

woweee, this time last week demon fans everywhere were devastated by the loss of $cully, how quickly a week changes things.

Since then a strong coach appointed and whilst letting everyone know Melbourne will be tough and hard to play against, he has shown he is not a man of words, but action signing Mission up within days. Neil Craig could be the cherry on top and things are looking up for the dees

Bring on 2012

It could depend what skills they were looking for Neil Craig to bring. If it was for his strength as a fitness/sport science expert then this may have negated the need to get him.

We may still want an experienced senior assistant for Neeld, but we may now want one with a different skill set...

This is great news and adresses a big issue we have had for a number of years. We need to keep our best 18 on the park. With young players you expect them to miss games but they are coming into 3-5 seasons their bodies should start to be able to cope with playing AFL footy. Like any club if you can go from using 38+ players in a season to around 30 you will have a good year.

Wouldn't say I am asexcited about next year as much as I am about 2013. This is a great get for the club which along with the natural development of players should see big benefits for our boys.

All the talk over here in WA when Ross Lyon came across was the hope he would be bringing David Mission over with him. They say a week is a long time in footy I like what Garry, Schwab, Mclardy and the board have done. Kept everything in house no leaks and would not comment on any of the coaching rumours, very professional and now we can see a lot was being done behind the scenes.

Forgotten all about the doom and gloom people were talking up when a former player followed the big schilachos on offer last week

2011 may well have been the kick in the guts we needed

More Excellent work by our CEO i am thinking.

Caroline Wilson, your articles about Cameron Schwabb over the last 12 months are starting to look very flimsy.

As was your Ridiculous editorial on Footy Classified last night.

As another poster said, I've not a clue who he is until today, but from the word here, it is a very good get. Roll on 2012 :)

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders. Windsor's run won't be lost playing off half back. In 19 games in 2024 he kicked 8 goals as a winger. I see him getting shots at g

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
