I wrote too soon?‍♂️

Hoping it’s only minor and injuries are bound to happen but I have been saying for months they’ve been going very hard. Gawn’s the type of player who shouldn’t need much more than fitness and skill work. Anyway, just hope the big fella is ok. 

This is dreadful. Gawns influence on the side can't be underestimated.

Will this club ever get a break .. always the injury curse to any decent talented player

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.

Gawn won the B&F, just interested who you would list as more important, I have him at the top of my list.  Sure we can still do well without him, but he is the most important IMO

Eagles lost Nic Nat but still went OK. Here's hoping, if it's bad we can cover for him.

black hawk down

[censored] please no. When will we get a break?

Hopefully it’s not too serious, we need Max fit and firing against the Eagles, in round one.  He sets the bar high for the young players to follow. I’ve got everything crossed for a positive outcome. 

FMD not a great start to the weekend or yr. 

Sad I know, but every time I open up Demonland it's something I hope not to see.

Not today unfortunately...

Pruess has got this.

 

Training would finish at around midday? afl.com story drops at 5:30pm (with very little info, no club comment ect) 30 mins after injury first reported on demonland. Interesting 

Fingers crossed all ok 

when things are glum there's worse to come...but honestly this is exactly why we a) recruited preuss and b) drafted jackson

I'm trying to rationalise this.  It's not working.

Our MFCSS sufferers will really feel comfortable that we'll be in safe hands...should the worst be confirmed.

OK... I have the dreaded MFCSS

Please no acl please no acl

Exactly - it seems typical that when we get injuries it always our best players, and hopefully it’s not a major issue,  but if our worst fears are realised, maybe it gives Preuss and Jackson a run at it that fast tracks their development.

We just lost the initiative

Tom Browne 'reporting' there's no structural damage and likely a few weeks.

He does get a bit wrong though and he did clarify by saying the Dees haven't said anything yet.

 

People losing their minds without even knowing the severity. Calm down until it’s been confirmed how serious the injury is. 

Here’s hoping

Hoping all is well with Max.

But this does highlight why having a mature, fit, big-bodied ruckman at Casey was a very good list management decision by the club.  

Many were calling for Preuss to be traded last trade week, but a moment like this highlights how essential (but hopefully not needed) he is.

He would have had the scan already, the club saying he would get it over the next few days is rubbish.  There is no way they would wait.  
 

 

 It could mean he won't get injured in the bushfire relief jaunt
