The Misson effect

Featured Replies

Interesting that the ‘Misson effect’ is spreading.  Ex-Demons Watts, Hogan and Dom Tyson all out for stints at their respective clubs.  Tyson now TBC with a calf.

 

I heard Harley Bennell had a coffee with Misson 5 years ago too

the man's effect cannot be underestimated!

How is he responsible for Watts’ broken leg? Can we also blame him for Scully’s miraculous recovery?

This is stupid. Now we are just looking for reason to sink the boots into Misso.

Watts broke his leg in an accidental tackle? Whats that got to do with this stupid 'The Mission effect'.

Pretty sure the OP is joking guys.

Im counting down the days until he is out of the club, 48 days and counting.

I think many inside the club would be too. 

Massacred our list.

Portmanteau? Massaged and cured? methinks not.

How many budding fitness experts from Demonland have applied I wonder

How do you know the exact day? Surely he announced it as 4-6 weeks....

;)

 


Blame, of course, is one of the five stages of grief. Most Demonlanders have yet to move on to acceptance and hope stage.

With Melbourne's injury list being primarily made up of contact injuries, I wonder if the blame should be placed on the shoulders of Goodwin and his chaos ball game plan?

Will that make us feel better?

I think most of them would have said to Joel Smith in the pre-season game, take the rest of the game off son.

 

That puts them in the short-list I reckon.

I actually find it funny that this is on linked-in. I thought these jobs are just filled through connections in the industry.

Apologies, I thought the sarcasm would be obvious....

No need. My sarcasm switch was obviously switched off this morning! 

The effect is real. Half our bloody players go missin’ every week!

Someone on this website will dream up a scenario

Yeah right. The one guy who kept his job in the FD under 3 different regimes (Neeld, Roos, Goodwin), and is leaving under his own volition to go overseas.

Worth noting that while Misson has been head-hunted a couple of times over a career in the AFL that goes back to 2001, he has never been sacked or "moved on".

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • PREGAME: St. Kilda

    With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

  • GAMEDAY: Richmond

    It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
