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)

The injured ppl at the clinic max goes to wont be happy when they get pushed back in the queue

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.

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.

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…

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.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
