    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

    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

    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

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle.Β As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.Β

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
