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.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
