Jesse Hogan (back) – 3-4 weeks

Jayden Hunt (back) – 3-4 weeks

Jack Trengove (foot) – season

[La Dee-vina Comedia 16,909]

4-5 weeks for appendicitis. That seems a long stretch. Haven't a few other players with appendicitis just missed the one week? Did his rupture or something?

[daisycutter 29,737]

did jimmy have an op to remove appendix or are they just treating it with antibiotics?

According to Misson's injury report, he had surgery to remove the appendix.

ok, then 4 weeks to recover from stomach surgery is not unusual

Appendicectomy these days is laparascopic.

Sets you back badly if the appendix is very gangrenous ... severe nausea apart from the abdominal pain.

I wasn't even allowed to drive for 2 weeks after mine.

understand maurie. i had a small umbilical hernia repaired laparascopically.

no complications but i couldn't have returned to strenuous exercise involving the stomach for four weeks let alone what would be expected of an afl player

anyway, i don't find 4+ weeks surprising after a stomach operation (lap or not)

[Bedraggled Dee 336]

3 months for my hip replacement My daughter was away from dancing for 4 weeks with her appendix op and that was only slightly inflamed.

[Coup Cooper 610]

Sounds like all things good! Hogan back v the Lions?

[What 18,810]

Thats 18 days away

Zero chance of him playing vs LIons, but he may play at Casey that weekend for his first game back

[beelzebub 23,383]

The Toump wont come back in red and blue this year now ...seriously doubt it. It's one thing getting back on your feet, whole different thing being match fit for AFL

its not like we really really really need him ( miss him )...is it

arrr No

[Curry & Beer 5,444]

yep sounds like it might be two weeks later vs GWS at the MCG, that will give him 3 games for the year

unless of course the club is talking carp again

[beelzebub 23,383]

zero chance of him playing ....straight to pre season collect 200 etc etc

I've been known to take that long to recover from flatulence issues.

i think you would be in good company with many here on demonland bbo

[SaberFang 7,151]

Would love to see 1 week next to Hogan after the bye.

[mrtwister 652]

We seem to be the only team to not update their injury list this week. In fact, we haven't updated it for 2 weeks. This couldn't be a deliberate thing could it?

God only knows mrtwister.

Deliberate

Hmm I have no idea what it would achieve.

Probably just some one not doing their job.

[Whispering_Jack 30,641]

The secrecy could be a major tactic in the battle for the coveted 16th spot on the ladder.

[Whispering_Jack 30,641]

Jesse Hogan is 50:50 to play this year according to coach Paul Roos

That's about it at the present time.

[Nascent 9,283]

Evans Test

Cross Test (posting good GPS numbers in training, thursday session will decide if he plays.... not mentioned if straight into seniors or via Casey)

King Test

Byrnes Season

Trengove Season

Spencer Season

Hunt Season

Hogan out of rehab group but approximately 3 weeks away from playing to gain fitness and conditioning. May decide not to play him this year and focus on preparation for next year, but ultimately sounds like its up to Jesse... if he wants to play they'll try and get him out there.

*Toumpas not mentioned.

From Dave Misson injury report on Melbournefc website.

[mrtwister 652]

Was thinking more along the lines of Jesse's timeframe.

Going by the notion that no news is good news, that would suggest an updated injury list is bad news.

[SaberFang 7,151]

Might just be a case of... he's probably in good enough shape to play, but the club want to be overly cautious and hold him until next year.

Thus, the only way he debuts is at Jesse's request, not the club's. Roos said as much in his presser today.

Fair enough, too. If getting on the park overcomes an important mental barrier for the kid after two years, I'd say he should go for it. If it's not a big deal to him, it's safer to wait for pre-season and hit the ground running in 2015.
