:(

Poor bloke twice in 2 years. Big year coming up in the gym! On the positive side it Gives the lad another year to fill out his 7 foot frame. Would think he would be training in the 2nd half of the year but wit all the big blokes we now have you would think he won't be risked by playing the last few games in Casey two's

The man is going to have impressive guns by the start of 2013! Really good opportunity to work on the strength side and get his fitness up next preseason.

poor bastard...hope he is able to get his body right. showed some good glimpses last year

Is ACL at this point really a season though? I mean I know he won't play as he won't have a preseason etc., but is the recovery time really, with 3 months til season start, a season-ender?

At his age, there is no point in taking unnecessary risks.

He's still a kid with a huge future. So no rushing him when we are still developing other kids.

We're not vying for a flag 2012. 2013 it is for him.

Gawn's mental battle will now be bigger than anything he'd have to overcome on the field. Two knee recos at 20yo. He should seek out Max Bailey for some advice.

Jake Spencer ... Your time is now.

My worst fears.

Good luck in the rehab Maxy.

Looks like jamar & martin to continue the ruck duties.

Sad to hear, I hope he's able to come back from this latest setback.

All the best Max.

Sheahan to be elevated is my tip, simply because that way if (god forbid) another ruck were to go down, we can throw Clark in the ruck and throw him thus not damaging our structure awfully...

We still have Jamar, Martin, Spencer, Fitzpatrick and Clark.

Yeah, I'm sure our first choice forward replacement would be the least developed forward on our list, a rookie at that.

Frustrating. Feel for the big bloke.

I really doubt that will happen.

Normally takes 12 months to recover from an ACL

Not Sheahan. Too young. I'd back Leigh Williams if they went one of the big men. Even so, I think it would more likely be Magner who gets the nod. He ticks all of the boxes for Neeld.

You have already validated that you guessed. Deal with it. But it is poor form to pump your own tyres on someelse's misfortune. Tacky indeed.

Fcuk you would know all about that wouldn't you. I certainly have not validated any of your tickets.

I made a statement on friday. You put the boots into it in your normal way.

I was right. And i most certainly wish Max a full recovery.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
