Surely would be all over the news by now if true

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.

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. 

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...

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

Pruess has got this.

 

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. 

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

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
