Will be interesting to see the eventual new fitness setup

[Mazer Rackham 14,971]

Misson accomplished!

[Demonland 73,976]

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!

Done his job (well), but a good time for change.

Good move for Misso and the Dees.

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

[Sir Why You Little 37,371]

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

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

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.

? Dr Danks his replacement

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

[Laughing Goat 308]

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.

[Lefty 412]

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.  

[beelzebub 23,390]

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

Am sure we'll attract the requisite replacement.

Play on

[DeeSpencer 26,566]

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. 

[Sir Why You Little 37,371]

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...

[Call Me What You Will 751]

What’s Baba doing these days?? Ha ha!

[Caligula's cohort 1,014]

Dr. David Buttifant as replacement please.

[Demons1858 1,794]

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
