    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: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.Β

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
