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.

    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.

    • 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.
