That means 12 weeks if the past is anything to go bye.

facial twitch easing? Is that you mr neeld?

The first post on BigFooty is mine. Would there even be journos there to write an article about it?

I wondered if that was you clint (same photo). Agree on journo even being there but even more unlikely is a news.com.au journo getting the story correct. Seriously the worst news site on god good earth (or at least Australia's good earth)

Anyone know how Dom Tyson ran today? Any other training related into on the fella... watching his highlights on afl.com.au really got me excited to see him in 2014.

You're a glass half empty kind of person aren't you ?

Although I did have similar thoughts, I thought it could turn into 3-5 weeks

Agree....I'm so excited to see Hogan play...I mean with Mitch Superman Clark and Dawesy and all the guys fit.... we have things to look forward too for once!

To have a major injury now would just be terrible...but then again....186 was terrible and we got past that too didnt we!!

Your fiance must not be A Demon then...or she too would be a painful wreck at that point lol

Unfortunately not, she is a Richmond fan but I am working very hard on getting her to change

Probably faked it to get out of the trial.

cant be bothered backtracking through the 3 pages

did jamar train?

does JW look like hes gonna have a breakout preseason?

how did hoges look in the training session after time trial?

Imagine how the phone call to Roos would have gone when the club rang to say Jesse Hogan hurt his knee at training then paused and said he will only miss 1-2.

That is the point I am trying to make, do we want 2 or 3 pages of hand wringing over what might or might not be, if it said he was carried away in an ambulance...then I would panic......he walked away, so probably jarred it....as I said watching training so often...slight problem and you are off.....he'd be [censored] off because he wants to do the full preseason....doesn't want Roos having any excuse not to play him

thank you

Can't wait for Hogan to be back in full training in 1-2 months and playing at round 10

Sure am mate, big Mitch was ready to go last season and played 4 games, I don't believe a word this club says when it comes to injury updates.

did jamar train?

I don't think Jamar actually does anything these days.

thank you

Yeah.....I'm with you on that MJT.

Most of us are suspicious of stated injury recover times. But sadly mjt you are a glass 3/4 empty on almost all issues. The mirror image of Saty.

I don't think Mitch was a good example to choose however. There were clearer cases where 3 weeks became 4,6,8.....

Maybe I've forgotten (note this before lambasting me if I am wrong) but I thought once he was out, it was pretty clear he'd be out a long time.

In any case it is hard to see why a club would lie to their supporters about this. But I can see they might not want other clubs to know too much and we are just collateral damage. Plus of course, sometimes injuries take more time to recover than originally expected.

thank you

Well done.

You deserve a medal because your biased pure guess happened to be correct.

NB. Even a broken clock is correct twice a day.

From the AFL website: "The Dees believe Hogan will be sidelined for 1-2 weeks with the injury."

The Demonland optimists will assume that 1-2 weeks means nothing and that he'll come back stronger, fitter, cleverer and probably better looking.

The Demonland pessimists assume the hyphen is a typo which isn't meant to be there.
