MCL Injury to Max Gawn

[Stiff Arm 4,419]

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 the state my glass is always in but it’s plastic and porous

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?

he's max - you just know he's going to aim to be back in 3 weeks, not 6 

[Gawndy the Great 9,011]

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.

You can now get an ointment for that terrible MFCSS you have, od. Put it all over your hands before you touch the keyboard
