I also heard he had scans yesterday for an on going groin problem.

heard they were scanning him to find out why his gearbox is stuck in 2nd gear

i halven't a clue what you are saying there nut

me either

Yep unfortunately I think you are correct.

I can't agree - in his first season, he was never quick but he wasn't treacle like he is now.

Really? Thanks for mentioning it - I haven't heard you say it before!

Fracture in his foot, might explain a lot and if so I will happily eat my words.

Six months of X box and Puzzles should sort it out.

Neville Jetta gets his chance? Has earned it from all reports, though who to drop?

Straight swap for Terlich? Seems to be playing better than clisby and strauss?

I think he's just slow.

Can you explain why he wasn't so obviously slow in his first 2 years?

Oops. Lets hope that was it.

And it can get fixed.

A good question.

The bloody foot injury curse strikes again!

i'd perhaps suggest that this is actually a door opening for Jack Trengove.

I know timeframes on here can be speculative, can be longer can be less. Would love to have Hogan back for round 9 against the Tigers. If we sustain no more serious injury's I think we would be a big chance.

Listening to Misson discuss our injuries, it gave me zero confidence that we will see Hogan any time in the short term. He still thinks he is 4 to 5 weeks - that takes him to the end of May. A couple of weeks at the least at Casey after that you would think, so we're probably not looking until Round 10-12 for a debut.

I have a novel idea. Let's unveil him on Queen's Birthday to much fanfare.

Can just hear the PA announcer now...

"Let's welcome our Number 2 pick from the 2012 GWS mini draft, Jesse Hogan, with the Number 1 pick from 2008, Jack Watts, and the rest of the Melbourne Football Club."

Or more likely:

Late changes today, out Hogan, still not recovered and in Byrnes.

It never ends, does it?

Official injury list for round 6

Dom Barry (calf) test

Jack Fitzpatrick (ill) available

Jesse Hogan (back) 4 weeks

Dean Kent (calf) 1 week

Viv Michie (jaw) 2 weeks

Luke Tapscott (hamstring) available

Jack Trengove (foot) season

No mention of Jimmy T who was going gangbusters on Sunday at Casey until he received a knock in the second quarter. I have him down as favourite for this week's mystery injury of the week.

The weeks are going by slowly for Jesse Hogan.

4 weeks on Hogan? that will make him round 10 at earliest.

Well they said a month ago June would be his likely debut. I'm still guessing 6 weeks until he plays in the ones.

whos the [censored] opposition player that kneed Hogan in the back in NAB cup?

whoever is it i hope they do their ACL

I called it in 2011.

I hope his foot is the problem.

I'm tipping that if Hogan has the ball and 3 Collingwood players come at him, the cleaning crew will be wiping their remains off the interchange bench.
