Wait for all the 'Landers to descend on the same psycho clinic Monday morning.

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)

If / When there’s actual news can we post a new thread? I can’t keep checking this every 5 mins .. and pretend to have conversations with people.  re stages of grief,  Im officially in denial .. everything will be fine and nothing happened. Also we won in Brisbane and kozzy re signed. im not well.  🥶

About to board a flight. Hopefully good news in 2 hours otherwise you might have to wait for me to unmelt the server when I land. 

Safe flight

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

This doesn’t sound good. 

 

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.

They can wait.

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.

Safe flight

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…

My gut feel is it's a meniscus. 

 

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.

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • PREGAME: St. Kilda

    With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

  • VOTES: Richmond

    Kozzy Pickett was the man of the match last week and has a vote lead over backup ruck Max Heath who didn't play this week and 5 votes over former Saint Jack Steele. Who gets the votes in this weeks shortened match win over the Tigers? Your votes please. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

  • GAMEDAY: Richmond

    It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
