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

What did they say post game 

[Supreme_Demon 3,903]

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. 

[Ted Lasso 19,549]

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

[Jaded No More 68,974]

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

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. 

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.

That was my worry too. 

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

Ditto.

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

[Ted Lasso 19,549]

ACL is definitely a live possibility :( 

[John Crow Batty 8,879]

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.

Luck of the gods now

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.

It’s not the only ones who are rattled!
