MCL Injury to Max Gawn

Colm
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

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.

    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.

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
