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.

    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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
