Your quote from Misson doesn't sound like the club is in total control of his recovery plan. 

Glad someone else sees it that way.

H has had a couple of concussions. Pleased that the club is being responsible and prudent in putting his longer-term health and well-being first.

If there are other issues, presumably the club will deal with those as well. If they are private issues, the club is right to protect individual player's privacy.

Is it a reasonable assumption to guess that The Prince is in Rio? He is not at the club, we know that much and it seems Misson doesn't know much more either.

Melbourne injury list: round 22
Sam Weideman (quad) – available
Jeff Garlett (skin infection) – test
Ben Newton (knee) – 1 week 
Heritier Lumumba (concussion) – long-term injury list

You can add Mitch King as well, I would suggest.

Must be the best injury list at such a late stage in the season in about the last 40 years!

I was a bit of a Ben Newton fan last season when he was on the fringe and kicked a coupla sausage rolls for us. This season I've nearly forgot he exists with everyone else tearing it up for the Scorps.

We have definitely had an amazing run with injury this year. Very lucky stuff but also the fitness/medical staff deserve some congrats also

It's something we supporters have just taken for granted too. Very unlikely to be this good again next year, statistically speaking. All the more reason to maintain strength at Casey and hold onto those players who might otherwise be looking for a senior gig somewhere else. If they stay, likelihood is they'll get their chance.

Will they? Not too many older brigade in our 22 who will be giving it away soon, clearing space.
Bernie & Jones the 2 closest, and they're not really that close.

3 years ago, Misson stated that it would take 3 years to get this team to AFL fitness, a lot of posters had a go at him and some very nasty comments have been made over the three years

This year has been the least amount of injuries that the club has had for as long as I can remember.

Misson was right.

He may well be right and certainly the team look fit (which is his job) - and they need to be to play our game style.

But the lack of injuries would have little to do with increased fitness. Luck is the key factor. 

A good medical team no doubt helps and if anyone deserves kudo its them. Though the low number of muscle injuries could be in part credited to misson and his team

Didn't he say that at the start of the Neeld years? Or am I making that up?

That would make it 5 years ago, no?

How many players do we still have on the list from that time? Without checking, I'd say not many have been at MFC for longer than 3 years!

Undeeterred is right, he said that 5 Years ago.

We have 10 players from 2012, 7 players from 2013 and another 8 players who have been in the system with other clubs at least since 2013, but many much longer, eg Lumumba and Vince.

That's a total of 25. However, the irony is that many of the players who have been a mainstay, (or played big roles),  in the team for much of the year have only been in the system for two or less years - Oscar, Wagner, Brayshaw, Oliver, Petracca, Vandenberg, Stretch, and this week add Neale-Bullen and Weideman.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    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.
