If it's a medial, it'll be, what, 4-8 weeks?

We're still looking at a minimum of a month of no Gawn.

Our next eight: Sydney, West Coast (away), Essendon (Gather Round), Richmond, North Melbourne, Gold Coast (away), Hawthorn, Port Adelaide (away).

If it goes beyond 8 weeks, the next three leading into the bye are all at the G: Fremantle, Carlton, Collingwood

Best time for it tbh. You can bank 5 of those and we should win at least 6-7 of them. Biggest test next week.

Official or fake news?

Right? And aren’t you glad we stayed ‘til play resumed?! Many Dees supporters left 10 or 15 minutes into the power outage. Not only did they miss that incredible post-outage turnaround, they missed the mass singalong.
Despite looking down the barrel of a thumping, have never seen happier Dees fans! 😆

Highlight was signing Grand Old Flag together, roaring away in front of all the Brissy supporters.  You're right, it was an excellent bonding experience for all of us who stayed to cheer on!  Think going home would have been too depressing without witnessing and willing that turn around on ground.

 

That being said... I'm getting quietly [censored] in the Brissy airport and nearly at my tether for mixed feelings, in part due to some transport stuff around (not Rex but Qantas for those playing along at home) and reading a beautifully, quietly destructive novel.  Overall, go dees!!!

Hopefully after last night we do a bit less "banking" of wins and we treat each game as it comes.

We should be stark outsiders to beat Sydney next week, then we're on the road back-to-back, including on a six-day break into the Gather Round (although so are Essendon) before ANZAC Eve. We're also on another six-day break from Hawthorn into the road trip to Port Adelaide.

I'm supposed to call the doctor about recent CT scan results on my lower back but I'm more worried about Max's results.

[Demons11 7,061]

I wish something official would come out

Until I see an official word from the club I won’t believe anything. Bernie Vince isn’t exactly someone I’d turn to for medical advice.

Laughing about your priorities but wishing you well with your back, Layzie!

Yeah I’m the same. Waiting for the offical word. But I’m feeling 10 times better than I have all day. 🤞

The time it takes to fully recover from an MCL tear depends on how severe the tear is.

A grade 1 (mild) MCL tear usually heals within one to three weeks.

A grade 2 (moderate) MCL tear generally takes four to six weeks to heal with treatment.

A grade 3 (severe) MCL tear can take six weeks or more to heal with treatment

I can handle six weeks

OMG did Vince really say 426??!!

 That’s it we won’t see him again this year 😭

[DemonWA 3,936]

Thankfully we're better equipped to cover Max now than we have been for years. 

Grundy + Josh Schache is an upgrade on Dogga and Weid

[sisso 2,580]

We don’t need to win every match either..:halfway point at around 7-5 would be fine as long as we have plenty in the tank for the rest of the season

[jayceebee31 761]

Thanks Webber for your insights…great news re Gawn.We can cope without him, but, we need to get him right as well as gain another ruck as a standby.Schache and JVR did well with Casey.Pity Bell could not be called up, did well Nader the circumstances.

The MFC app seems official enough for me. 4-6

 

[Bang Bang Bang 5,839]

The journos are running with 4-6 weeks now too. Great news. And probably a lesson there for all of us who’ve been trawling this thread all day. 
 

[sisso 2,580]

It’s offical we can breathe again

4-6 weeks

So you honestly think he would go “on air” and pass on info that Max told him without Max’s ok ? Don’t think so ..
