    Quick, put him in a bubble and release him day one of pre-season.

    See you in 2014 you magnificent beast!

    Can we send back the rest of the MFC team to Casey as most of them can't play AFL footy anyway so they will not be missed. May be they could win a few games as well. That would be good for their confidence.

    I actually feel for him as I'm sure he would loved to have been involved in a finals tilt in his first VFL season - particularly considering that Casey's position is in no small part due to his contribution on the field... so, not good in my opinion.

    Jesse Hogan us out 4-6 weeks with the knee injury he sustained on the weekend against Bendigo Gold. His next game will be for the Demons in round 1, 2014.

    Something about bone bruising?

    I think it's disappointing, personally. It's good that he'll be fit for pre-season, but he has been a huge part of Casey's form this year and I reckon he'd have wanted to finish the job he started. Not the end of the world, just a bit of a bummer I think.

    Once again, the tags on this thread typify the messiah complex entrenched in the psyche of this club.

    Commonsense prevails.

    Kid got injured.

    If he wasn't, 'commonsense' would have made him play.

    Disappointing for Jesse and for Casey. But good news that he'll be right for preseason.

    Although by my count the VFL grand final is not for 5 weeks. If the guys beat Box Hill this week they will likely head in to finals in second place with momentum. Do we want to give up on it so easy?

    He's ok to play VFL Finals but they won't risk him.

    And no should they.

    If he was fit I'd be all for him playing, because it's great experience and he would signficantly help the cause of winning a premiership.

    However, his body is young and still developing and we should take absolutely no risk with somebody so important. The significance of him doing a full pre season can't be underestimated.

    I would think that if his body is up to it, he probably will play 23 games next year and every season after that.

    That's bad news, but not horrible for Casey. They'd love to have him, but they'll have Fitz, Gawn and Spencer out there, so their forward line still looks pretty scary.

    26 including finals ..

    You're assuming we get a double chance...even the greatest optimist would reckon our 1988-like run into the GF would come from the bottom four, giving us 27 matches.

    list management and crappy red'n'blue-print is part of the faulty culture that got us into this shytey position

    let's not turn him into another jw

    Not sure what you guys are talking about...

    After our week off in finals courtesy of our win over the Hawks, we'll have played 25 games at the end of next year...

    Disappointing as he deserved to share in Casey's finals tilt as he has been a massive reason for it. However once he hurt his knee the most important thing for him and club was to ensure he is cherry ripe physically and mentally for day 1 of pre-season.

    Just make sure you don't spiral into depression and go throwing wads of money into other people's yards, young Jesse.

    does Fitz qualify does he? I hope so.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
