The News followed by 

  • Shock
  • Denial
  • Anger
  • Bargaining
  • Depression
  • Acceptance and Hope
  • Processing the grief
  • @Jaded No More becoming seriously jaded
  • Sanity emanating from @Webber and @RyanD
  • Complete absence of @WalkingCivilWar - more worried about this than Max quite frankly
  • The catastrophisation, neurotic codependency and trauma triggering reactions by the rest of us

Right now I’m at Acceptance and Hope, having just sped through Anger, Bargaining and Depression while on the plane (which is the norm win or lose, amirite).

I’ll begin processing the grief once I’m home because that’s when I’ll know exactly how much grief I’m looking at. I’m not sure but I think a banana Big M has leaked in my suitcase. Good times.

Why would you put a Big M or any liquid for that matter in your suitcase?

More importantly, how did your scans go? (If you’re wanting to share of course)

The injured ppl at the clinic max goes to wont be happy when they get pushed back in the queue

Max can sign autographs on their moon boots or crutches and take selfies comparing dickie knees for compensation. A medical visit to remember.

MRI results are instant. You get the films straight after the scan. It’s about having someone to interpret them. Which I assume we can find a doctor or two keen to look at them today. 

Jaded if they can't find a real doctor immediately then surely the club could post the images here for a Demonland non-medical opinion.

It was mentioned, we are not inferring. 

Let's stop this speculative discussion in respect for Max. Our thoughts are with him, whatever the the short and longer term outcomes may be - he will feel our concern anyway and the many thousands of good wishes that cannot be fully expressed. Overt speculation does not help, not one iota. So, shaddup and get on the bandwagon to support and further encourage those of His team that he is leaving behind for a while.

I just found out that a very old Mate has Cancer.

Max’s knee will be repaired.
The rest of our list and coaches all have to look each other in the eye and say “How hard are you prepared to work”

Smash adversity and Keep Fighting…

and Yes, He is a Demon Supporter…

As I understand it, if it’s an ACL you hear or feel a pop. Perhaps this is a positive sign but even that’s not conclusive.

Wish that was always the case but of the 3 ACL ruptures I had playing footy I didn’t hear a thing for 2 of them and only had mild discomfort and a feeling that something wasn’t right.  First one was also a similar action to Max with a player crashing in.

I’m so nervous for Max!!  Fingers crossed.

    CONSISTENCY by The Oracle

    "I think we have got a team that can win a premiership, and if we get in this year, I don't think there is a team that is going to want to play us. This year is not a write-off, I don't concede that. Not at all." — Collingwood President Jeff Browne. I love this sort of optimism from the Magpie President after his club’s eleven goal defeat at the hands of the fast rising Hawks. It’s consistent with the fighting spirit of the club that won last year’s flag.  I only wish I could say the s

    FEARS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne’s worst fears about the absence of Max Gawn were realised when it received a shellacking from Fremantle’s ruckmen Sean Darcy and Luke Jackson who dominated the hit out tally in their game at Optus Stadium on Sunday by a massive 47 to 19. As a result, the 50-point deficit at the end of the game proved to be a loss that was long foreseen that was two years in the making and demonstrated a complete lack of hindsight and planning from the club. To add insult to injury, Jackson was a D

    PREGAME: Rd 20 vs GWS

    The Demons return to the MCG in Round 20 to take on the GWS Giants and will be hoping the injured Captain Max Gawn is fit to return to his role in the ruck as their season is slipping away. Who comes in and who comes out?
