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.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons are back at the MCG for the second week in a row. They face the Suns off a 15 day break without their prized recruit and former Demon champion Christian Petracca. This will be a massive test for the Demons who will be facing a genuine Premiership contender. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Carlton

      The text messages started flooding in shortly after quarter time. One read: “Is Melbourne even at the ground?” Moments later, as Carlton’s Elijah Hollands kicked the first goal of the second term, the Blues held a commanding 43-point lead. By then, the Demons’ only score was a behind kicked by Brody Mihocek nearly five minutes into the game. Ironically, Mihocek would also register the last minor score of the day after the game took a dramatic turnaround.

      The Demons snatched Victory form the Jaws of Defeat as they clawed their way back from 43 points down to win by 23 points in Max Gawn and Tom McDonald's 250th matches at the MCG. Never in Doubt!!!
