    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.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
