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

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons are back at the MCG for the second week in a row. They face the Suns off a 15 day break without their prized recruit and former Demon champion Christian Petracca. This will be a massive test for the Demons who will be facing a genuine Premiership contender. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Carlton

      The text messages started flooding in shortly after quarter time. One read: “Is Melbourne even at the ground?” Moments later, as Carlton’s Elijah Hollands kicked the first goal of the second term, the Blues held a commanding 43-point lead. By then, the Demons’ only score was a behind kicked by Brody Mihocek nearly five minutes into the game. Ironically, Mihocek would also register the last minor score of the day after the game took a dramatic turnaround.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      The Demons snatched Victory form the Jaws of Defeat as they clawed their way back from 43 points down to win by 23 points in Max Gawn and Tom McDonald's 250th matches at the MCG. Never in Doubt!!!
