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.

    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: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
