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

    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. 😁

    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.

    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.

    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..

    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! 😆

    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

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.
