Mitch Cleary:
Melbourne skipper Max Gawn is looking at a period of time on the sidelines with a syndesmosis injury. Typically 4-8 weeks.
Also… defender Daniel Turner will undergo surgery on a facial fracture sustained in his debut and miss around a month
Alan Richardson said Gawn will miss 3 to 5 weeks:
“It’s obviously disappointing that we will be without our leader for the next three to five weeks, but we’re hopeful it’ll be a relatively quick recovery for Max, and he won’t miss too much footy.”
Dustin Martin:
“It’s not looking very likely at this stage. He’s not very well. He’s probably highly unlikely. We’ll make a call later this afternoon. He hasn’t trained all week. It’s just the flu.”
Damien Hardwick
Fremantle: Sam Switkowski (back) – Scans have revealed he has another fracture in his back.
“Sam will require a period of non-running followed by a repeat scan before being cleared to progress in his return to training,” Fremantle football operations manager Peter Bell said.
“It is not possible to ascertain an exact timeframe with this type of injury.
