    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

    1. 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.”

  2. 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.”
