Definitely annoyed. Possibly even annoyance awareness.

Low grade annoyance?

Tightness sin his annoyance?

My diagnosis is a mild case of exasperation.

Grumpy Gary Baker avatar tells me he will be fine to play.

And that is is his constant state

If Preuss is injured but Gawn is fit, I guess Gawn can just about cover the loss of Preuss...

Anyone know if Austin Bradtke played in the scratch match vs Pies?

I believe he has been playing but I can’t see them playing him

Is that a metaphysical riddle? 

The Dees ruckman, who played his first game of the season last weekend, is expected to recover in time for the clash with the Western Bulldogs, but will be monitored throughout the next few days.

Max Gawn is also set to face a fitness test in the lead up to Round 13, hoping to return from a knee injury.

Scans later today for Braydon Preuss. A “tweak” of hip/groin according to club. Not ruled out just yet, but he didn’t look happy.
Dees positive on Gawn progress after big running session. @9NewsMelb
 
Doesn't sound like it is wrist slashing time!
If nothing else it will keep bulldogs guessing.

sounds like something a pre game injection should fix if necessary

Not sure having no ruck is such a bad thing for this Saturday. Forecast up here is for 45k winds Saturday. It will be worse than a wet day with ball on ground most of time.

Yep.  The winds started here around lunch time, and are forecast to get stronger each day from now until Saturday, when they are forecast to be the strongest all year!  Just got my tickets.  Might have to take an anchor to hold me to my seat!

i hate wind games......hope the forecast is wrong

I reckon, if Gawn, Preuss, and Tim English are out of the game, Dees and The Bullies should nominate Daniel and Spargo as the ruckmen

Seems odd to me, the fuss made about Collingwood's 4 games in 14 days.

It was also our fourth game in 16 days and fifth game in 20 days.

And the fact that Geelong flogged St Kilda on a Monday and backed it up with another flogging over Port on the Friday.

Geelong has ruined that excuse for everyone now.

Mitch Brown, come on down!

Can't play ruck or key position forward if they were to use Tommy. Brown is a very tall HFF.

Have to remember that Hannan wasn’t dropped, he was out due to illness 

He was good against North and I think he’ll return for Sparrow or possibly Kozzy 

https://t.co/rg6cOqV4mZ

Jon Ralph indicated he would've been dropped regardless of being ill.

We finally start to get on a roll and lose all our rucks.  We are the Shakespearean tragedy that never ends.

Let’s hope it’s much ado about nothing

  • NON-MFC: Round 11

    Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.

  • PREVIEW: Sydney

    The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

  • REPORT: Brisbane

    “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

  • CASEY: Southport

    The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

  • PREGAME: Sydney

    Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
