    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.

    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.

    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 :(

    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.

    It’s not the only ones who are rattled! 

    I’m shattered!

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
