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.

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

    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.

    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

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
