Played VFL on the weekend so I'd imagine he'll get at least one more go at AFL level.

They'll embarrass us.

Not if we embarrass ourselves first!

Guessing there'll be a lawsuit in it at some stage.

Yes, but it's not new information. We've known this since preseason.

That and he's leaving by his own choice after getting another season and possibly part of an offseason to continue maiming the list.

I'd be very happy for him to remain in Canada for the term of his natural life.

Topkent might know. Probably hard to get money out of him in Canada when a player or 30 want damages.

Commonwealth buddies. You'd be ****ed

Are you actually a long range sleeper cell planted in Canada by some high level coterie to take out Misson when he lands?

Cheers. I’m in Canberra and I was on Marcus Clark street racking my brains to recall what Marcus Clark did to deserve a street

I see Sparrow has just picked up a casual 8-10 week (so season ending) knee injury without much of a mention ... in spite of apparently having surgery on it two weeks ago, this is the first mention of it I can find.

I'd have thought at this point, Misson wouldn't even need to pack up his house on his own, I reckon we could find an army of Dees fans keen to see him leave the country as quickly as possible.

Theseventhhamster staggering really mate, but unfortunately I'm not surprised.

“There hasn’t been a setback, he’s actually progressing pretty well but it’s just going to take longer than we thought – we’re taking a cautious approach there.”

Misson on AVB, the double speak going on is just mind boggling

Lol ****ing shafted with Sparrow. Closest thing we've had to a first rounder since 2015. Looked decent playing out of position in R1, team plays like shit R2 and he gets dumped, we don't hear anything about him in the VFL and now he won't play again this year. At this stage I wouldn't be surprised if he never played for the MFC again with our luck.

Melbourne will soon start its search for new fitness chief to replace David Misson

Arsenal is set to part ways with Australian fitness boss Darren Burgess, making him a top target for Melbourne. Burgess is set to leave the English Premier League club after two years serving the Gunners as director of high performance.

It is expected the highly-rated strength and conditioning guru will be quickly targeted by other top overseas soccer and basketball clubs.

But Melbourne is also searching for a new head of high performance and would pull off a massive coup if it could tempt Burgess into a return home to Australia.

It is unclear if Burgess wants to return to working in the AFL. Burgess was released from his contract at Port Adelaide in 2018 to move to Arsenal.

He is considered one of Australia’s top team fitness experts. He also worked at Liverpool in 2010-2012 before joining the Power.

The Demons will soon ramp up their search for a new fitness boss after completing a review of the club’s medical and conditioning departments.

David Misson will depart Melbourne at season’s end to move to Canada with his family.

Carlton poached Hawthorn’s head of fitness Andrew Russell in the pre-season after initially looking to sound out some of Russell’s lieutenants.

Melbourne has endured a horror run of injuries since the end of last year which have contributed to its disastrous start to the season.

But the bulk of those injuries have been a combination of shoulder, foot and knee problems rather than soft-tissue setbacks.

Nathan Jones suffered a back-related issue in the pre-season while Steven May hurt his groin after arriving for pre-season training out-of-shape.

Jake Melksham is the latest star player who has been sidelined for a significant period after suffering a setback with his foot injury.

The gun forward, who went back on the ground with the injury late in the win over Gold Coast, is still listed as five or six weeks away.

Defender Neville Jetta is also listed as six to eight weeks away as he recovers from his knee problem.

Widely considered a premiership front runner at the start of the season, the Demons have failed this season, with only three wins to sit third-last on the ladder.

Last-placed Carlton has a better percentage (77.3 per cent) than the Demons (76 per cent).

President Glen Bartlett said the glut of post-season surgeries and interrupted preseason training programs made for a challenging start to the season.

“Our footy department has been very upfront and we get briefed (on the training loads),” Bartlett said.

“We assess regularly on how we are going, how we can improve and what needs to change.

“So it (tough start) wasn’t a surprise, but look I’m frustrated and very disappointed to be 3-9 because I still feel we have had plenty of opportunities to win quite a few more games.”

If we haven't already started searching, we're stuffed.
