Jesse Hogan Injury Update?

Recommended Posts

"slower than expected recovery" … "a precautionary approach" … where have we heard that before:

"ST KILDA defender Sam Gilbert will miss at least the next 10 weeks after suffering a setback in his battle with a foot injury. Scans on Gilbert’s foot revealed a slower than expected recovery rate, with the Saints opting to take a precautionary approach."

And this after we were told he'd miss 6 weeks back in the beginning of February, or even this doozy in March:

"SAM GILBERT could emerge as a surprise inclusion for St Kilda in Saturday night's clash with Melbourne after overcoming a fractured foot sustained early last month. "

Seems Melbourne aren't the only club with incompetent medical staff who don't know how to manage injuries.

First let me preface this by saying that I have absolutely no knowledge of injury management (let alone physiology, etc), but... is it possible that injury management doesn't even come into the equation on this occasion? Is it possible that no one injury is ever really the same and that recovery will be dependent upon the individual concerned's physical build, genetic make-up (some people seem to naturally heal/recover more quickly than others), mental approach etc - I imagine that injury management will never be an exact science and that there will always be some that will not recover as expected.

nah...too much logic there for me....I'd rather go with incompetent medical staff.

Anyone think that all the foot injuries seem to be happening with the useless boots players now wear. They are so flimsy with what looks like very little support.

I never had any issues when I wore Dunlop volleys and ran miles. The new trainers look great but seem to give more injuries......

also probably due to lack of banned recovery "supplements" being used now :unsure:

Really? Dunlop volleys have zero support! It's almost like you're making the case for the opposite?

Personally, I've noticed current boots seem to have surprisingly more support than they look like they'd have.

Just my observation from the boots I own.

They're only Nike Total 90 or whatever they are called.

my first football boots were a pair of moulded plastic/rubber Ron Barassi's. I have just recently been to walk again normally 45 years later after wearing those implements of torture.

I have had "High grade partial tears of the patella tendon" for years. Patella Tendonitis or "Jumpers knee". (thats ironical!)

I found that after 3 months of letting it recover, then using the scholl inserts ($33 at chemist warehouse) in my asics runners,and work shoes;the pain and limping, grabbing banner rails walking down stairs etc greatly diminished.

I recommend them (to amateurs like me) because they worked almost immediately where as the $900 hard inserts from podiatrist still sit in my bedside drawer.

Krill oil etc never seemed to help but after 6 months of trying it I gave up.

Sorry if off-topic but well worth the $33 investment if youre getting over the hill.

Could Mitch Clark come back if he recovers quickly from his depression?

I have been thinking that part of Mitch's recovery is to reduce stress. By removing the stress of having to come back, he may start to improve rapidly. If he did could he return? He is still listed on the AFL site as a Melbourne player.

Maybe just wishful thinking.

Maybe the year after next but there's a lot of water to pass under the bridge in his life before it would even be considered a possibility in his own mind.

It will be interesting to see where he decides to settle with his wife after their marriage this October. Who knows what might transpire once he gets wedded.

Everyone wonders about that.

There's also the fact that the club knows it is not good marketing to be telling the supporters/prospective members 'hey that gun player you love is going to miss the year' so when there's some uncertainty about the severity of an injury they always lean heavily to the o0ptimistic side

I get that - but shouldn't everyone understand that ?

I always think clubs quote recovery times on " if it all goes to plan" - and on many occasions injuries don't go to plan

Wouldn't it ultimately come down to whether he has actually been delisted? What is his actual status right now? LTI or off list?

IF off list one would presume that he would have to come back via a draft - unless perhaps the AFL would, under its new esteemed, revered and all knowing and all powerful CEO, work out some "special arrangement" to get him back on our list.

Maybe some sort of compassionate mental health promotional / understanding rule that they could make up on the run - after all, they are past masters at making new rules on the run.

(Did Rama get some special consideration when he was off with his cancer treatment? Can't remember exactly, but I know it was discussed publicly, and either was or wasn't allowed).

Jnr.

You make an interesting point in regard to the lack of foot support from current footwear. It is still referred

to as a boot but is more like a lace-up slipper that an athletics sprinter might wear.

It would be interesting to hear a professional opinion from the podiatrists and physio's on the list.

It just seems to me there are a lot more foot injuries nowadays.....I guess the players are running kms more than they ever have too....

Mitch Clark is never coming back to play for the Demons.

So we have signed him for 3 yrs and he has played for one season in the reserves, will be injured for this season and play in his 3rd year (hopefully), doesn't want to sign a contract extension and then will probably go back to WA.

I know the injury is bad luck but this could only happen at the Dees.

If he stays I will be happy but am prepared for the worse.

It also irritates me that players from other clubs are jumping at the chance to re-sign and we continue to struggle in that area (yes I am aware of our past 7 yr history but it still grates me)

I believe Josh Mahoney said in the press conference announcing that Mitch Clark had retired that he would remain on the list for this year.

Nothing to do we hardening up.

How about we look at reality and stop living in fairy land.

Very few here live in fairyland. But a large number live in the opposite of it and see disaster and doom in every little thing that happens, overreacting to the pain of recent years.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
