    The News followed by 

    • Shock
    • Denial
    • Anger
    • Bargaining
    • Depression
    • Acceptance and Hope
    • Processing the grief
    • @Jaded No More becoming seriously jaded
    • Sanity emanating from @Webber and @RyanD
    • Complete absence of @WalkingCivilWar - more worried about this than Max quite frankly
    • The catastrophisation, neurotic codependency and trauma triggering reactions by the rest of us

    Right now I’m at Acceptance and Hope, having just sped through Anger, Bargaining and Depression while on the plane (which is the norm win or lose, amirite).

    I’ll begin processing the grief once I’m home because that’s when I’ll know exactly how much grief I’m looking at. I’m not sure but I think a banana Big M has leaked in my suitcase. Good times.

    Why would you put a Big M or any liquid for that matter in your suitcase?

    More importantly, how did your scans go? (If you’re wanting to share of course)

    Max can sign autographs on their moon boots or crutches and take selfies comparing dickie knees for compensation. A medical visit to remember.

    If he wants “ genuine worry” he should come to this site not speak to the MFC.

    MRI results are instant. You get the films straight after the scan. It’s about having someone to interpret them. Which I assume we can find a doctor or two keen to look at them today. 

    Jaded if they can't find a real doctor immediately then surely the club could post the images here for a Demonland non-medical opinion.

    It was mentioned, we are not inferring. 

    Let's stop this speculative discussion in respect for Max. Our thoughts are with him, whatever the the short and longer term outcomes may be - he will feel our concern anyway and the many thousands of good wishes that cannot be fully expressed. Overt speculation does not help, not one iota. So, shaddup and get on the bandwagon to support and further encourage those of His team that he is leaving behind for a while.

    Not a fan of this kind of "journalism".

    Let's wait until we hear from the medical experts and get all the facts on Max Gawn's knee scan first.

    If someone called Satan wished me a safe flight, I'd be a tad nervous 😓

    I just found out that a very old Mate has Cancer.

    Max’s knee will be repaired.
    The rest of our list and coaches all have to look each other in the eye and say “How hard are you prepared to work”

    Smash adversity and Keep Fighting…

    and Yes, He is a Demon Supporter…

    I had that once - the ointment worked a treat.

    As I understand it, if it’s an ACL you hear or feel a pop. Perhaps this is a positive sign but even that’s not conclusive.

    Wish that was always the case but of the 3 ACL ruptures I had playing footy I didn’t hear a thing for 2 of them and only had mild discomfort and a feeling that something wasn’t right.  First one was also a similar action to Max with a player crashing in.

    I’m so nervous for Max!!  Fingers crossed.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day and the Demons have made the long trip west to take on Fremantle tonight at Optus Stadium. Can Melbourne make it two from two to start the season, and what are you hoping to see from the Dees under the lights in Perth?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • PREGAME: Fremantle

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
