Melbourne will be sweating on a potential injury to captain Max Gawn after the superstar big man was subbed out during Sunday’s big win over West Coast. The Demons were untroubled in the comfortable victory, kicking seven goals in the first term to cruise to the 17.19 to 8.10 result. But fans will be holding their collective breath over the fitness of Gawn. He was subbed out early in the fourth quarter with a right ankle injury, which the club described as “precautionary”.
Bayley Fritsch kicked three and Jake Melksham added two in a welcome return from a long-term knee injury. But Melksham could face scrutiny from the match review officer over high contact with direct opponent Jeremy McGovern off the ball. Trent Rivers continued his strong midfield form in the absence of injured star Christian Petracca, racking up game-high tallies of 29 disposals and seven clearances. Caleb Windsor , Ed Langdon and Christian Salem were also busy.
