Best possible outcome from that incident (excluding no injury at all)….no ACL, no medial meniscus, no joint surface trauma. No legacy either once it’s healed. He’ll be good as new, ready to hoist the

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.

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.

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.

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

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! 

I’m shattered!

    GAMEDAY: Rd 12 vs Carlton

    The Blues season is on the line and their captain and coach have been in the firing line all week. If the Dees cough this one up the media's crosshairs will do a 180 and will surely be directed at the Demons who have only won 13 games from their last 25 outings. This is a must win game for the Melbourne Football Club too.

    DOCTORS AND LAWYERS by The Oracle

    We’ve seen it all before.   Club in turmoil. Coach under pressure. Club President caught up in a tax scandal. Club board not seeing eye to eye with one board member resigning amid questions about whether he was pushed or did he jump? Unrest bordering on hysteria among the supporters. Team dropping from undefeated after four rounds to 13th after ten. Allegations of favoured treatment of players. Players out of form, forwards with the kicking yips, a bruising injury list with some facing

    WRITING ON THE WALL by Whispering Jack

    The Narrm Football Club found a second way in the space of 12 months less a day to unexpectedly lose a home game against Walyalup on Saturday afternoon. The equivalent match of last year has been described as Melbourne’s “ground zero” of 2022 where things went wrong for the club after a long run of wins that included its 57 year drought-breaking premiership triumph. Unfortunately for the Demons, the 2023 version was a case of deja vu with the Dockers overcoming a half time deficit and runn

    CRUSHED by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons were dealt a crushing blow to their hopes of repeating last year’s premiership glory when they capitulated to the Werribee Tigers in the final term of what was for the first three quarters a riveting game of football. The Demons struck early with the opening two goals of the match but the Tigers fought back to level the scores by mid-term. From there on until the middle of the last quarter, there was never more than two goals separating the teams although the home side look

    GAMEDAY: Rd 11 vs Walyalup

    Narrm return to the MCG to take on Walyalup who in the corresponding match last season broke the Demon's 17 game winning streak which was their first of three losses in a row. The Dees will need to win to stay in the Top 4.
