MELBOURNE ruckman Max Gawn has again been relegated to the long-term injury list after sustaining a hamstring injury during pre-season training

The 208cm ruckman will be forced to stay on the LTI list for a minimum of eight weeks, finishing on March 22, just a week before the Demons' round one clash with Port Adelaide on March 31.

A list replacement is yet to been named with Demons football manager Josh Mahoney saying the club expects Gawn to be available early in the season.

"This timeframe is consistent with his rehabilitation plan, and he is progressing well. We expect Max to return to playing football early in the season," Mahoney told melbournefc.com.au.

Heard about this, this morning. Seeing as he will be out for minimum of 8 weeks, no harm done if they want to see what one of the rookies (Stark, Clisby, Couch or Magner can do round 1). My guess is Magner or Clisby will play round 1-3 now.

hopefully these injuries aren't a recurring thing for him.

Will have to reconsider my Rucks now.  Thought Gawn was a strong possibility to play early hence my selection as R3.  Bad luck for him giving the vacancy created by Martin leaving so hope he can get back and still be in contention.

So will I Ringo. Grundy or Witts maybe?

Hopefully Gawn will play later in the season and could be a good downgrade target for Witts or Grundy if they get gametime!
