Jesse Hogan - back injury


DeeSpencer

Recommended Posts

I was about to give you a like, because I largely agree.

I suppose it's disappointing for many of us who have been looking forward to seeing Viney (concussion) in his second year and Hogan take the field. Not to mention getting all of Clark, Hogan and Dawes together.

You're right in that it's not a huge deal in the scheme of things, it's just that I seem to have far less to look forward to for round 1 than I was hoping.

I agree. It's a momentum killer right on the doorstep of the season, which is absolutely depressing.

That said, it's going to be an acid test of the skills/value that Paul Roos brings to this club. Under any of his recent predecessors, we'd be absolutely stuffed with zero forward line.

I reckon, however, that Roos might still be able to crunch out a win, if not that - a very solid performance.

Any chance we will have any of our tall forwards in before round ten?

Clark 0%

Dawes 20%

Hogan 50%

that's how i'm reading it anyway.

Dress won't be back by round 2, I believe, judging from the news that he's off to the AIS in Canberra to seek treatment on his calf injuries.

Agree DA

He is now officially 426 on my injury list.

Start thinking late May

Dawes will return in round 6 V's Sydney.

He's out for another 3 weeks. Then he'll spend 2 weeks at Casey.

So we'll have 5 games without the big 3 fwds.

BBP is that your wish list?

As I see nothing to support that from any pronouncements over the last week from anyone

Yes it is my wish list.

Based solely on the ever "glass half full" injury list. It says he's 2-3 weeks.

I'll be disgusted if he doesn't play before Queens Birthday.

Keep your disgust level in check it is going to be sorely tested.

I think you're rght OD.

At least the club is being proactive by seeking a second opinion. Clearly their treatment of Chris Dawes's various injuries have been an epic fail given the amount of games and pre-season he's missed. Remember he pulled out of a game, 20 minutes prior to the opening bounce last year.

Not much chance of forgetting that one BBP.

We are paying a lot of money on a couple of fronts for zero at present.

Geez I know he's been injured a lot but no need to call him a "dress"... :)

I thought no one was going to notice!

I have no problems with it stuie he has been a injury nightmare since joining and the saga continues.

No barbs or arrows, however The update on the website says he's back running and will be back doing contested work this week or next. Positive news

Thanks Steve.

I only hope i am severley wrong. As mentioned, i really hope that we see him much earlier in this half of the season.

I have faith that we have the right team and that the FD/club is ensuring every avenue is addressed professionally for the best possible outcome. However, similar to OD, i have less faith in some of the injury reports and "return" predictions that we are hearing and i'll "believe" when i see the related player (be it Hogan, Dawes, Garland etc) physically running around "unimpeded" on the park week after week.

So, Clark gone, they've officially admitted they have NFI what to do about Chris Dawes, which means he has to be on the indefinite list, and Hogan is now out to 3-4 weeks. As per my posts above, subtle and not-so-subtle shifts in the media position. What they are effectively saying is that all these guys are basically no go for they have no idea how long.

The first half of the season will be a test of our character, both the players and supporters and if we can snag a win or two in the first half dozen games it will be a good result.

We have to understand that they aren't expecting great things this year, we might be but they aren't and with so many quality players out we are going to have to lower our expectations. Character is the important thing and if they as a group show plenty of that we are on the way.

My dad met up with a high club employee today and he said that Jesse Hogan's back is going to fine. Shouldn't be long until he is back out there. Also on the Chris Dawes note, he is supposed to be fine as well after a few niggles here and there he is starting to come along nicely apparently (I never would have guessed). Clark on the other hand, is a 50-50 to retire from AFL in the next few weeks. His foot is 100% not problems at all, but every time he trains he gives himself a new injury because he has been out of the game so long. That's why we have been hearing hamstring this and calf that so he has been given personal leave to discuss with his family what he should do here on in. Hopefully that doesn't happen because I think he adds so much to our list and is a champion player!

Funnily enough I was given very similar information, it was caught early enough to prevent a more serious diagnosis.

Just waiting for the hot spot to settle which is impossible to put an exact time frame on.

Not super close to the source but no reason to doubt it either.

Some guys play through pain and some just refuse to, I think Dress fits Dawes perfectly.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
