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.

Is Misson responsible for this mess?

Oops!  My Bad...not Viney. It is a thyroid problem with Salem and he may be out for quite a while.  Could be quite serious.  Helps explain why he has had a flat start to the year.  Wish him well

Someone who tackled Mathieson contracted head lice from him?

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.

Amazing how quickly things have changed!!

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
