    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.

    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

    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.

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

    Not today unfortunately...

    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

    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

    Just now, whatwhatsaywhat said:

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

    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.

    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.

    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

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
