[Wodjathefirst 2,632]

I saw ‘Gawndy the Great replied’ flash up on the bottom of my screen and for a microsecond I got excited!

SEN tweeted we'll be expecting an update in the next 24 hours. I can't wait 24 hours, I want answers now 

24 hours? 
24 hours?

I’m not sure I can make it another 24 minutes

Probably on a kneed to know basis for now.

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

I have to have another one on Monday but this time ‘round it’s not because they think they’ve “found something” it’s because the images weren’t quite clear enough. My breast-care nurse said it’s pretty much precautionary since what they did see looked good.

Thank you for asking, Jaded. 💕

And I love that you ask me if I want to share. Like I’d ever answer no to that question. 😁

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

It was an unopened carton. I’m not that stoopid. Well, I guess I am because yeah, it leaked.

Hashtag rough-arze baggage handlers.

edit: I actually AM stoopid. Can’t blame baggage handlers when it was in my carry-on 🤭

In my defence, I got confused since I had to check some things in. (Fun fact: the giant heads bag alone weighs 18 kilos!

Glad it's out of an abundance of caution!  Hope it goes well 💕

My God, after the events of last night's game, I feel like I have a massive hangover despite not drinking at all...!

Trying to piece everything together, it seems the physical tests done on the night were negative but there remains concern it's an ACL so they are waiting on the scans, which suggests to me the concerns come from his symptoms (e.g. he's reporting some sort of instability or pain which would tell a doctor/physio it's an ACL and not something else), or perhaps because he heard the dreaded "pop" or something.

It just seems like there is some reason to think it's an ACL but the tests were negative which means they have to wait on the scans.

I just caught the end of the mmm of the footy broadcast & heard Bernie Vince saying that's good news for Melbourne.

[Deestar9 1,619]

It’s a medial …Bernie Vince on radio just said he’s having dinner with Max tonight & it’s just a medial 

[sisso 2,580]

Please be right and just a medial….even if he’s out until the bye we can cope with that

Bernie wouldn’t say if he didn’t know, surely

A medial is much more preferable than an ACL, although a medial injury is not to be sneezed at.

If Max was indeed sneezing, it may well just be knee-monia.

[Colm 2,155]

Jeez I’d be delighted if it’s a medial

He said Max texted him …

If it’s just a medial strain we all need to go buy lottery tickets.

Demonstone!!!  You really got me with this one.  I've potentially come unstuck after the past 24 hours

Excellent news. Nice work to Bernie also on being able to tie it in with an on air, post playing career name drop too..

[Swooper1987 3,322]

4-6 weeks is standard for a mid range medial.  Max is a pretty quick healer usually.

Right? And aren’t you glad we stayed ‘til play resumed?! Many Dees supporters left 10 or 15 minutes into the power outage. Not only did they miss that incredible post-outage turnaround, they missed the mass singalong.
Despite looking down the barrel of a thumping, have never seen happier Dees fans! 😆

[Gawndy the Great 9,011]

You beauty!!! 

[titan_uranus 25,020]

If it's a medial, it'll be, what, 4-8 weeks?

We're still looking at a minimum of a month of no Gawn.

Our next eight: Sydney, West Coast (away), Essendon (Gather Round), Richmond, North Melbourne, Gold Coast (away), Hawthorn, Port Adelaide (away).

If it goes beyond 8 weeks, the next three leading into the bye are all at the G: Fremantle, Carlton, Collingwood
