Glass half full:

6-8 means Max will hopefully play the majority of the season.

6-8 means we can try the options of Grundy, Tmac, Schache. One door closes, another opens

6-8 means we give JVR a few games

6-8 means that our centre square mids will need to harden up (tongue in cheek) due to not getting silver service

I like 4 to 6 better but everything else you say is sound.

That's glass half full.

That's glass two-thirds full.

And I like 2-4!

That's Numberwang!

According to Richo, “we expect him to be available in four to six weeks”. 

Available in four means misses three this side of the world.  Back on Anzac Eve.

Glass half foolish?

 

 

To avoid any doubt. Watch today's media conference. The potential confusion is that he has yet to go the club to confirm a treatment plan.

Some positive soundbites:

No swelling, starting to feel better already, wont be 2-3 weeks as a minimum (comparison to Jack's recovery) but still feel bullish.

I like this one.  This is exactly why we discovered how good Petty was, after Tomlinsons ACL 

Just glad big Maxy Gawn will be alright in a few weeks time.

He is the heart and soul of the Melbourne Football Club and I hope Jack Viney steps up to the plate as Captain.

Additionally, let's hope Jacob van Rooyen gets his chance to debut for the Demons against the Swans.

All good to hear. A shame, though, that it (and consequent footy matters) pretty quickly overshadowed the main purpose of the conference (despite Watts's brave effort to bring it back).

Anyway, this might allow normal programming to resume:

Oh not the dreaded 426. That means at least 6 but throw in 4 to keep the supporters happy in the short term.

  • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
