Yes we will, but I’m going for a bit of encouraging news from the Β interviews post game. Normally they can call knee injuries very accurately with the test they do in the rooms.Β 


I have done an ACL myself (still have 2 steel pins in my right knee) and I just don't get that "vibe" from Max Gawn.

Nevertheless, we will wait and see what the actual medical experts say.

I guess we will all wait in trepidation and find out after Max Gawn has his scans tomorrow.

Hopefully nothing too serious.

Don’t worry it looks likes a medial collateral ligament injury.Β 

Β 

Looked like a medial but you never know with these things! hopefully get some confirmation of what they suspect soon!

Surely he will be straight at the nearest MRI tomorrow. Hopefully we can get news sooner rather than later. Β 


When Viney went down at training I heard from a very good source that everyone including Viney himself thought he had torn an ACL. He is already back playing. Fingers and toes crossed.

Lachman's test (the test used for ACL) was not positive. Its 95% accurate.Β 

However, Max was walking a bit too freely for my liking. You would normally see some issues with a persons gate when they have done an MCL.Β

That was my worry too.Β 

He was walking around like someone who has torn his ACL.Β

Ditto.Β 

I'm just glad it wasn't his 'bad ' knee. But aything other than a season ending ACL is a bonus now....


ACL is definitely a live possibility :(Β 

On observation of his playing character he would walk and talk like the injury is no big deal. I hope the scans agree.

Goodwin's response in post match presser not encouraging. They don't know.

Yeah agreed. I Kind of got the impression he knew something.

The more upbeat he tried to sound the more rattled he looked. We'll have to wait to see.

Max himself would have a good idea about what it's like to injure a knee to that serious extent. Him going straight down the race and then being dejected on the changeroom floor doesn't fill me with hope there will be good news over the weekend

Correct. Deep down I think everyone knows he’s done his ACL which is why the entire playing teams and coaching staff looked so rattled last night.Β

  • 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 sideβ€”the Tigersβ€”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?Β I mean by β€œthey” 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.Β 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 winningΒ 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.
