Saw on Ch7 that Max had a scan today - Any word from the track watchers or those close to the club.

 

Someone on another thread mentioned ‘finger’.

Sounds better than a knee

Hope whatever it is doesn't keep him out.  Game 200 against the Hawks for the champ.

 

Apart from the continuous mugging by the blues players last night, he looked OK at the Casey game today, offering tips to Verall and Farris White at qtr time and in the rooms at half time.

hopefully nothing but we have a handy replacement if required.

Channel 7 said it was a routine follow up appointment this afternoon (after reporting on it earlier in the day). Possibly a follow up knee scan to see how it’s looking. They specifically said ‘nothing to see here’.

It did make me wonder how the cameras knew to go to the exact scanning place on a Sunday morning at 11am.

To be fair all AFL players in Melbourne go to the same place to get scanned. I assume the gutter journalists just sit there all day every day waiting to catch someone.

This place looked very different to me. It was in a tight street - but Max could have gone to the regular place and just got a [censored] park.

I didn’t see the vision but if it was the one in Prahran it’s possible he parked down the side street. I’ve been there many times for scans myself and one side of the street looks like a weird alleyway.

That was it! When you went did Tom Browne doorstop you for an interview, so you pretended to be on the phone?

I'm assuming this is a banner preview for his 200th game?

The mugging by opposition players in EVERY game on Max is a joke and the umpiring dept or AFL senior people need to do something because our own club will not. I've watched 2 games up in Brissie live and to see the amount of players bumping, blocking and grabbing him even when the ball is miles away is beyond a joke.

He did. I told him to F off because he’s a tiny assclown and no, I will not be fit. Ever.

Our club never says a word. Never complains. Never mentions it. Pert should send a please explain to the umpires department with hours of vision of Gawn getting held, hit high and hit late for no frees.

I get that it’s not fair, but he needs to own it and get to work. He needs to out muscle them and compete and go again. His team mates also need to help him out from time to time. You need to earn your keep.

Looks like me in my new club jumper.

If I had a beard.

And I was taller. 

A lot taller.....

Wonderful Captain's responsibility. The man has incredible leadership and foci.

We must be concerned for Max's longer-term welfare after football. He receives more thuggery to the head than any other player in the League. The impression gained from the AFL in this regard is '...so what? He's so good, he deserves to be pummelled to keep the game even...'

Do we actually know that the club doesn’t protest or complain just because they don’t do it publicly?

Good question. So far, it has not transferred into any behavioural observations and action from the umpires - yet remains clearly visible to all spectators at each game he plays. All one can assume is that the AFL has not responded to such enquiry.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
