Dave Misson/Weekly Training Update

Featured Replies

No he Played for Melbourne , Was a very good player, and made a decision in his best judgement for himself.

I would like to see anyone on this website turn down 1Million dollars a year.

Give it a rest, i am getting sick of it

get a sense of humour Jordie......life's too short.......it was just a bit of urine extraction

 

I have no problem with Player 31 $cully taking $1 Million + a year, i just didn't like all the lying about it....Still Don't.

More that it takes up every thread on this site!

I have a sense of humor, but i thought there was a thread of his own for all the wingers who cant get over Octobers news is all,

Yeah he lied, so do lots of people every day, his was a big one, and effected our club poorly,

But spilt milk and all imo

i will happily walk away from this issue..when i know the MFC is strong enough so as not to Kow Tow to the AFL..it is more the principle than the event really.

Spilt Milk it isn't.

i agree Jordie, I seems to be brought up at some point in every thread and no amount of discussion is going to change the past. Time to move on and look forward.

May become a very good player.

He never influenced the outcome of a single game when wearing the red and blue. In reality he gave us nothing.

Try me, I'll turn you down :-P

...maybe because his heart was never in it, maybe because he had a dicky knee, maybe because he was overrated.

On the other hand, maybe he did influence many games, particularly this year due to his toxic influence which spread through the club.

Whatever, the club has been cleansed of him, and his father.....so we can move on without his poison seeping through the ranks.

Quite possibly the best and concise post about the whole saga I have read, in my opinion - and it's in the wrong thread.

The sun will come up tomorrow and life will go on.


Scully is a liar and the enemy now bottom line. And he did wrong by the club i love. So call me a sook but MFC is bigger than a little liar who took up our number 1 pick GO DEES

i too am getting sick of alot of posts in here that have nothing to do with training news and could probably go

to the slag scully thread

if i want to have a rant about how hard done by we were then i go to the relevant thread but

its starting to get a little ridiculous.

this is the training update thread so can't we content ourselves to bagging Gysberts and Blease

about their lack of endurance and condemn each other for percieved flaws in hypothetical game-plans

that will not be validated for another 4months?

...and condemn each other for percieved flaws in hypothetical game-plans

I think we should kick it long

Try me, I'll turn you down :-P

Pity i doubt you will ever be in a position to receive such offers. please sook else where.

would have thought you'd give up the pursuit of truth when the truth was known. to walk away would be giving up

OK im not saying we should not discuss this issue full stop just not here, it has stopped interesting me because i havnt seen anything productive come out of it in months, i also havnt read a Scully thread in weeks though.

In terms of the MFC position, i truly believe we are ina suprior position, better Head coach, coaches, FD, players than in any of the previous years, also got rid of a guy who didnt feel passionately about our club, and we have compensation which puts us in a great position.

The AFL thing, every team has to "Tow the Line" or answer to their call, is this what you meant? even Collingwood, we just need to reduce the amount we do this, they are the governing body they have to be respected imo, no biggie.

edit - will now post about training.

agreed, unfortunately our club is in this position. but supporters and the media aren't. the sooner someone reins in 'pugsly' the better.

Edited by oldman emubitter

OK so i havnt been to training yet this year, seems a hassle as i live in Geelong and it will take 2 hours to get there and mean me being up at 6ish or something. I will do it soon though.

The training itself has seemed to be of a much higher intensity than ever before, that i can recall. I big emphasis on the teams fitness which many were questioning last year. what this means for individuals and the team will only be know in march, but i would have thought it will be emense, in that if we are 10-15% below the AFL average/top teams will that equate to a similar increase in overall performance? will the players get 10-15% more possession? more tackles? more pressure? you would hope so.

Alot has been said of Blease and Gysberts, but im sure Mckenzie, Evans, Sylvia, Tapscott, Watts an co all who arnt unfit but are not in the top bracket, the more we have here the better obviously.

Now for skills....Misson indicated that skills will be taking a bigger spotlight during the new years, although i imagine this may be ontop of a strong cardio regime.

Skills will be big, and i will really be interested in how Neeld and Co. approach this, players such as Moloney, Mckenzie, Rivers, Bartram ect benifiting greately in their games if they would have good to great disposal, many of these guys dont have trouble getting the ball, just using it.

  • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

    The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

  • PREGAME: St. Kilda

    With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.
