Gives us plenty of time to find a suitable replacement and do a thorough changeover.

All you can ask for really. Better than 4-6 weeks!

    Thanks Dave. You have done a mighty job, that is not quite over. 

    A Flag can be won with the right people...

    If he put in 2 weeks notice we’d be [censored]

    Yep, well played Misso.

    I liked the way how from the very start, he said it would take several years for the fitness and conditioning program to be effective. There were going to be no short-cuts. Honest and real.

    I think the clubs fitness suffered since the Balme days... until Misso.

    With the average lifespan of an AFL player measured at less than 5 years, Misso's longevity in a competitve industry has been amazing & not only has been a very loyal servant to the Dees but his influence has impacted significantly to our recent success......we have some big shoes to fill!

    Good luck to you & your family.

    Well played Misso. Definitely some big shoes to fill. I hope the replacement continues with the weekly injury updates.

    We fell along way short of the best clubs.

    But this was the case across the board. 

    We did not have the staff, coaches, admin and committed young players that we have today.

    Whats that word again? Culture? 

    As we have seen, you need to have a committed and professional club from top to bottom.

    Not sure it'll affect one way or another. Mixed reports over the years.

    Am sure we'll attract the requisite replacement.

    Play on

    Wasn’t a fan when he started. Players did lap after lap and had no power.

    Also the experienced doctors left in less than ideal circumstances and the current doctor was under qualified/inexperienced for the role. We had the flirtation with Dank as well, was that when Misson had arrived?

    Plenty has changed since though and you only have to look at the GC boys comments about Melbourne’s preseason to see standards have risen. 

    So a credit to Misso and the club for getting things going in the right direction.

    Now we have an opportunity to improve things yet again. I’d be looking at Hawthorn, Coll and Richmond where players are very well defined and explosive athletes. Tigers have had a great run with injury and the Hawks are the masters of rejuvenating players.

    Misso not getting a lot of love on Social Media that i can see. 

    Made 1 mistake in 8 years for mine, Viney came back way to early last year. 

    But then how much does Misso have to rely on Player feedback to make his call?

    i think Jack believed he could when he really couldnt...

    Lets be honest, he hasn't had the best record of keeping our key players on the track. Peter Jackson announced a review of the sport science department late last year after all the foot injuries and this appears to be a subtle changing of the guard. Well done by mfc for managing his exit the way they have. Don't doubt he tried his best. Not a bad time to be leaving by Misso given that we will reflect on all the injured / rehab players we have at the moment and those that re-injure if we don't make the finals this year. A real possibility unfortunately for those of us that are realists

    I did actually but that's another story. Its the only department of the MFC that hasn't moved with the times. We are otherwise a modern football club these days. Maybe you can send me some of your rose coloured glasses ?

    Not at all mate. I have been a tough bastard on this club for years. 

    I just think Dave has done a great Job. 

    Goodwin’s style of play is extreme. Injuries will happen

    Each to their own I guess. I would argue we had injury issues under Roos also, some foot related also

    All clubs will get more foot injuries now. The game is continuous running. The stress levels measured must be off the dial

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
