    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!

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
