    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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
