I sincerely trust my contact at Maroochy is completely wrong but he told me Maxy left training today with what appears to be a knee injury. He was in rooms getting attention and in a fair bit of pain. Contact could hear him yelling. Let's hope for the best as nothing out in media as yet.

    Think positive there are alternatives.

    Max is a very good player but having the best Ruckman is not the be all of winning games. Richmond won the flag with a competent Ruckman twice in three years. But let's see what the news brings.

    That's what scares me. He knows all too well what an ACL feels like.

    Hopefully it's only a 4-8 week injury and Preuss can take his role in the very early rounds.

    God I hope there is nothing to this unconfirmed report but what worries me is that no Dees have been posting on social media today. The club on the other hand have been posting like it's going out of fashion.

    Good to hear you being so positive OD. But would also mess up the captaincy as well....i fear the worst. Lets see what news unfolds.

    I am not pretending it is anything but bad news WWS but I refuse to put off the 2020 season on the last day of January.

    Can you find out what time of day this occurred?

    Oh man, I think it’s time for our QLD correspondents to go undercover. A quick lap of the sports complex, if that fails find out where they are staying and rock up as a pizza boy with some pizzas.

    Worst case scenario we’ll hear something from Sunday’s open session.

    Not entirely true. Some players have posted InstaStories today.

    For such a high profile player, I reckon we'll hear something tonight, or tomorrow at latest.

    Sounds like a classic p*ss take to me. Does your contact have a sick sense of humour DD?

    Nailed it! I believe there is some ruckman called Brodie Grundy who had 73 Hit Outs and 10 Clearances in a prelim....team still lost.

    Is Gawny an important player? Absolutely! But he is by far, not our MOST important player.

    • Demonland changed the title to Gawn Knee Injury (Confirmed - Severity Unknown)

    This could impact his chances of being appointed captain if injury long term

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
