    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.

    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.

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
