Phew! What a sigh of relief!

 

However, 4 to 6 weeks is still a fair chunk of footy to miss for Max Gawn. 

 

Note to Jack Viney, from now on, please accidentally injure opposition players and not your teammates!

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. 
 

curious - what's the lesson?

Well said Jaded. Now we can all get on with “caring about last nights putrid showing”.

Fingers crossed its a short term injury.

What is concerning was our inability to adjust quickly.  But I blame that on being in Brissie and the conditioning being slippery.

Best case scenario he’s back for the Port game in round 9 if he’s fit and match ready.

Only two matches against top 8 contenders (unless you’ve jumped on the Essendon wagon already) between rounds 3-8.

Can certainly live with that.

I cannot express my relief at this news. I felt sick last night and feared for Maxy's career this morning as the consensus was settling on it being an ACL. That would have had huge ramifications for our season and would have been a tragedy for Max's career. If we go deep this year and he recovers in the 4-6 week window, he could still crack 200 games this year. Fingers well and truly crossed. He is so important to our team and our club.

Absolutely this is the best time for him to get injured. If we can get over the Swans hurdle, and we’d certainly want to bounce back from a shocking performance, then we should be able to get the better of most of our opponents in the next 6 weeks.

And as much as I love big Maxxy, when he thinks he is ready to go, I’d delay him returning for another week or two…. to play it safe

I think it is time our mids learnt to earn their own living instead of being spoon fed by Max all of the time. Might do them the world of good to have him missing for a few weeks. 

It’s not just that part of his game we’ll miss. It’s his defensive marking

behind the ball &  his work forward of the ball. All our players will have to work a little harder

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)
