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

Best time for it tbh. You can bank 5 of those and we should win at least 6-7 of them. Biggest test next week.

    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! 😆

    Highlight was signing Grand Old Flag together, roaring away in front of all the Brissy supporters.  You're right, it was an excellent bonding experience for all of us who stayed to cheer on!  Think going home would have been too depressing without witnessing and willing that turn around on ground.

     

    That being said... I'm getting quietly [censored] in the Brissy airport and nearly at my tether for mixed feelings, in part due to some transport stuff around (not Rex but Qantas for those playing along at home) and reading a beautifully, quietly destructive novel.  Overall, go dees!!!

    Hopefully after last night we do a bit less "banking" of wins and we treat each game as it comes.

    We should be stark outsiders to beat Sydney next week, then we're on the road back-to-back, including on a six-day break into the Gather Round (although so are Essendon) before ANZAC Eve. We're also on another six-day break from Hawthorn into the road trip to Port Adelaide.

    I'm supposed to call the doctor about recent CT scan results on my lower back but I'm more worried about Max's results.

    Until I see an official word from the club I won’t believe anything. Bernie Vince isn’t exactly someone I’d turn to for medical advice.

    Laughing about your priorities but wishing you well with your back, Layzie!

    Yeah I’m the same. Waiting for the offical word. But I’m feeling 10 times better than I have all day. 🤞

    The time it takes to fully recover from an MCL tear depends on how severe the tear is.

    A grade 1 (mild) MCL tear usually heals within one to three weeks.

    A grade 2 (moderate) MCL tear generally takes four to six weeks to heal with treatment.

    A grade 3 (severe) MCL tear can take six weeks or more to heal with treatment

    I can handle six weeks

    Thankfully we're better equipped to cover Max now than we have been for years. 

    Grundy + Josh Schache is an upgrade on Dogga and Weid

    We don’t need to win every match either..:halfway point at around 7-5 would be fine as long as we have plenty in the tank for the rest of the season

    Thanks Webber for your insights…great news re Gawn.We can cope without him, but, we need to get him right as well as gain another ruck as a standby.Schache and JVR did well with Casey.Pity Bell could not be called up, did well Nader the circumstances.

    The journos are running with 4-6 weeks now too. Great news. And probably a lesson there for all of us who’ve been trawling this thread all day.

    So you honestly think he would go “on air” and pass on info that Max told him without Max’s ok ? Don’t think so ..

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • 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.
