He does get a bit wrong though and he did clarify by saying the Dees haven't said anything yet. If Tom Browne is saying two weeks I reckon it will probably be longer - no confidence with this bloke. Miracles can happen so hopefully he is right. Come on Gawny tells us it is OK. Quote

Calm down until it’s been confirmed how serious the injury is. Well I'd be a bit calmer if it wasn't for the fact that the person who broke the news well in advance of anyone Docs Demon reported Gawn in "a fair bit of pain. Contact could hear him yelling." I'm not sure if it is better if he was screaming in pain or frustration. Quote

And then just went with "I trust my sources" 1 1 Quote

Lord Nev 13,512 Posted January 31, 2020 Posted January 31, 2020 A more positive-leaning take... "Melbourne sent All-Australian ruckman Max Gawn for scans after he left the track on the Sunshine Coast with a sore left knee on Friday. The Demons said the scans were precautionary as it was not obvious what was causing the soreness and they remain optimistic at this stage." Scans for Demons ruckman Max Gawn 3 Quote

Docs Demons 1,810 Posted January 31, 2020 Author Posted January 31, 2020 As I mentioned in initial post I trust and hope it is only a minor problem. Will be at Maroochy on Sunday along with family and hopefully Big Maxy is there and feeling better. 2 Quote

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.

Scans for Demons ruckman Max Gawn I suppose that’s a good sign as most club doctors can normally get a sense if it’s an ACL or not. It’s why most suspected ACLs always become ACLs because the scan often just confirms what the medical team already know. 2 Quote

The coming trading season; possibly back to Qld, and we trade another mature one in, with more skills. Who knows, we might be able to deal with the Suns come end of 2020.? I think Preussy will get a bit of game time to build his game in 2020. Which might add something to his market value. Look forward and upward. Not stay as we are. Quote

Exactly, 'AtboG' The scans will be to confirm 2ndary injured areas, if any, and severity of injury. Quote
