Jesse Hogan - back injury

[binman 43,821]

2 weeks would be round one.

[P-man 13,366]

The upside is that once we get all three of them playing together*, it will be all the sweeter.

*working on the assumption this ever [censored] happens.

Melb fc state "stress reaction".

And it depends on his response to treatment.

Estimated 2-3 weeks

We've all just had a pretty big stress reaction

Mahoney said early signs were positive.

If itwas really bad, he wouldnt uave even been considered to play hawks, yet he was named.

Im hoping for round three or four.

Sorry to highjack the thread but does anyone know when Dawes is due back? Round 7ish?

What I find slightly amusing is that in true Demonland fashion, when the club says "Early signs are positive and he could potentially still play in 2 to 3 weeks or it could be longer; we just need to monitor him closely over the initial period and then a timeframe for his return will become clearer.", most posters seem to miss the first few words "Early signs are positive..." and then read the worst into the remainder.

If he has been running since the game, then I think it would be fair to assume that he is not in too much discomfort and that the pain may well pass in the next couple of weeks, thus boding well for an earlier rather than later return.

Everyone's over reacting a tad

What if Cloke,Brown,Riewoldt,Buddy missed the first 4 games of their entire career?

Ease him back when he's ready and move forward!

lol, it's not that we ignore it, it's just that we've heard it so many times before from the club we know to filter it out as irrelevant.

First thing I read this morning was this news, I've had a freaking shiteful day, this just tops it off.

Knowing my day this is career ending!

[Sir Why You Little 37,149]

Not nearly as bad as the original reports told us.

The standard of journalism is pathetic today.

Pure Swill is Barrett. He would have been hammered at school. You can just see it a mile off.

Tiny fool.

[ManDee 7,222]

Smells bad!

[TGR 1,367]

He just didn't look right to me during Training 26th Feb

"Pedo did his left hamstring (grade 1) and shouldn't play Friday. Hogan right low-back-buttock soreness, but continued on modified."

The fact that he then played a fair-dinkum game, and all of the sudden he has a back injury that might keep him out for a while.

Some think injuries are just bad luck.

if it is a bruised back then why not say so

I also had a surprisingly long chat to Roosy. Nice guy.

Best of all I met and had a great chat to my childhood hero, Robbie Flower. They say you should never meet them as you tend to walk away disappointed. I'm pleased to say it was the opposite. A fantastically friendly and engaging guy. It made my night.

Thanks to the generosity of a good friend at an auction a few months back, I'm lucky enough to have an MFC jumper signed by both Flower and Roos.

This friend, who knows Roos (not through football) speaks very highly of him as a person. He and his wife went through a terrible tragedy a number of years ago and Roos was incredibly supportive throughout their ordeal and beyond, despite coaching and all his other commitments.

I can't say I've ever spoken to Robbie at length, but on the occasions I did chat to him he always came across as humble and softly-spoken.

/ end diversion

probably because they dont 'know'

Didn't Riewoldt (Nick) miss his whole first year with a knee problem? Seems to have done alright since.

I'd say at least 4 weeks off the track and out of the gym, lots of time in the pool. After that it would probably take 3 or 4 weeks for him to be fit to play.

It's 2 week until round 1. If we can have him back safely and healthy by round 6 it will be a great result.

Thanks for the diagnosis and info It could be related to his growing body Lets all hope it is managed and a full recovery is possible

[Bring-Back-Powell 14,940]

This news wouldn't bother me so much if at least one of Dawes or Clark were available for round 1
