    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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
