Why  didn’t he take the bandage off and rub himself against Jonas, Lycett and Ryder????

It was a skin condition on a small area, shouldnt have effected him one bit.

To be hospitalised it would suggest otherwise. Most likely cellulitis- if so quite debilitating 

If only we traded in another ruckman to cover for Max under such circumstances...

Reports also that shaving rash has been discounted.

 

Apparently had a cyst removed.

Can worry someone playing in heat and humidity in the few days after the operation.

Good thing was that he didn't use it as an excuse.

I'm only qualified to comment on fungal matters TRI .

And welts …. obviously.

Knowing our penchant for coming up with novel ways of losing players to career ending injury, he'll probably be the first player ever to lose a leg to flesh eating bacteria....

Exactly what qualification does one need to speak with authority about "fungal matters"? Is that a Fremantle 'clinical' condition?

If you are in hospital, your condition isn’t “mild”. If you are in hospital then play footy a few days, you are not 100% at your best. 

Hospitalised for something that sounds like a skin rash. Really? I don’t think so. 


It was described as a cyst or a boil on TV tonight. Was also mentioned that he was under general anaesthetic for the procedure to remove it.

Potentially far more serious than some of the flippant comments in this thread suggest.

If true, it wouldn't surprise me at all if it impacted his preparation or his performance.

A little Jaded then?

Scalded by a red hot jaffle?

It wasn't rabies because all the little Port rats wouldn't leave him alone......

Probably more like it,  he probably burnt his asparagus,  swallowing a jaffle.


Gawn should not have played. Preuss should have.

Are we now this arrogant and stupid as a club ?

I have played a few days after a general & was way off the pace of the game, just couldn't get going at all.

If this is right it would have had a big effect on Max's game.

From first hand experience it most certainly would have...

Based on the RIchmond pre-season game Preuss would have been dead by half time if we'd tried to play him as the solo ruckman in the heat. I'd play him this week but has to be as a second banana, not first ruck.

Wish there was a mature, competent ruckman we could have parked on the rookie list as an emergency option - if Gawn went down with a serious issue we'd be in all sorts. Got away with it a couple of years ago, don't think we would now.

This is exactly why we recruited Preuss, in case of skin infections. We need to put Max on ice, and maybe papaya cream.

This club has made an art form of playing unfit players in the past 24 months, why would Gawn be any different? In fact he probably started the trend when he came back too early in 2017.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
