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: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
