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: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
