    This is going to sound like BS from me.

    ...but I've been meaning to post for a few weeks now that I thought Clayton was not handling the ball as well this year.

    He's a very clean, one touch player but has not been as clean this season.

    ... and even though he made AA this season, his ball handling was better last year.

    That makes sense now, he hasn't been doing contact training for a while.

    ...the competition better watch out next year.

    Clarrie will rip it apart.

    The mind boggles as to just how good Clarrie is, but even more-so, how good he can become!

    Wonder who else has been carrying injuries. 

    Under the circumstances, gutsy performance from him in the latter part of the year.

    Is he going to get a full preseason though? What’s the recovery on 2 shoulder recos?

    No contact TIL January, but presumably can do a whole lot of cardio leading up to that.

    I was told that he is a robot and needs a little bit of oiling every now and then. Needs to tighten some loose screws.  

    Finish him up with a cut and polish and will be good as new.  May he last forever.

    I’m a physio and this worries me immensely. The latarjet procedure is not one to take lightly and can involve multiple setbacks during recovery...and he’s having them on both shoulders. The procedure will have to be a couple of weeks apart so that he can start to regain some minimal function in one shoulder before operating on the next. Hate to say it but it won’t surprise me if clarry doesn’t get much of a preseason. Estimates of early jan are touch and go for me.

    I used to date a circus trapeze artist who needed both her shoulders done, this is not a simple surgery, stacks of recovery involved, NTG is being kind. Makes the Geelong game a standout and explains Saturday. I wonder if he's been having needles.

    Given his importance to our future you would hope they will observe every precaution, we've rushed players back in the past and it's almost always come back to bite us. Ablett Jnr also returned too early from his shoulder injuries and it bit the Suns in the ass.

    Didn't TMac have the same thing 2 preseasons ago? Bilateral shoulder recos?

    On the one hand, for him to be playing at the level he was over the last month or two despite having bilateral shoulder issues is incredible.

    On the other hand, two surgeries which sound serious enough, delaying his start to the pre-season, is not good news at all.

    That is true, but he can still run, it won't effect his fitness level, or skill level just no contact training, cross works his rehab men hard.

    Tough bloke. Well that explains his drop off later in the season (making room for Brayshaw to shine more).  But obviously a stager.

    I suppose this is the ‘real’ reason behind him being moved forward in the last third of the year...

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
