He did walk down the race with the team after the game without crutches but had a noticeable limp.

Is it a suspected PCL, or similar? From a marking contest?

Fingers crossed it’s nothing serious. It’s grim how much we’re missing him already, but such is life for us right now.

 

Hopefully he’s back soon, and becomes a gun, as we traded out this year’s pick for him. Or am I wrong about that?

Must admit when XL wNt down and was holding hi knee was a real downer.😢😪


Watched the replay and I’m not sure it was a contact injury. Appeared the ACL buckle. Hope I’m wrong as I’m a huge fan already

 

Goody's post game presser he said they were hopeful of it not being too serious but would need scans to confirm.

Fingers crossed for the young man.

That's unfortunately a bad sign....

Just watching the incident I reckon we’re in for some bad news which is a real shame.

Bah.. never before have I been so frustrated by the lack of information.

I usually fully understand that the club just want to get the scans know before commenting.

This one really hurts. Sitting here just fearing the worst.

MFCSS and Norm Smith curse strikes again. Already two in form small forwards done for the year.

Some of course won’t blame MFCSS but rather Goody, fitness staff, selectors, doormen, board, President or Jeff Kennett.

Goody said Medicos usually know from examination but they were undecided so they will rely on scans.

Line ball.

This was the case with Max last year from memory. Hopefully we have the same outcome. 🤞

Just taken to hospital with bruised toe.

If it is an ACL, it sucks for him and the team big time. It is clear as day, we are nowhere near contending this year.

If there is a silver lining, he'll be able to return still in season and put in a mammoth amount of physical and fitness work for next year.

  • 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?
