In my defence re the Ansett Cup - the last time I went to a football game, and I am not exaggerating, is the 2000 Grand Final. (Ok maybe the Ansett Cup was already the Wizard Cup or whatever you kids are calling it these days)
In the meantime, I wish Max Gawn all the best and a speedy recovery - the surgery is nothing compared to the ACL. The trainers should make sure he gets into the pool as soon as the wounds heal.
