Jesse Hogan Injury Update?

Recommended Posts

We are all dreaming if we think we will see him playing for Melbourne this year. He will only start running late this week, he basically needs to do a complete pre-season again so 8-10 week block of running with some ball work. I think 10 weeks best case to see him at Casey

Well, you are a doctor.

While I don't hold hopes of him playing this year (only because i don;t want them crushed again), 10 weeks at best to return to Casey? He hasn't just started walking this week.

He's missed 12 weeks, that's a little over the top.

Even with two months of running and training, that places him at Casey around round 18, and he could potentially play 2 or 3 games for the MFC at the end of the season. Better than nothing.

Would also help him get past a mental barrier he's been dealing with for two years now in finally getting his AFL debut. I think that's an important consideration heading into a 5 month break.

No longer suffering symptoms and has started running, provide we ease him in well i'd say 6 weeks isn't out of the question, i have worked with stress fractures quite abit in my job, and while i don't know much at all about Jesse's individual situation i have found that once they start running providing symptoms don't return recovery can be fairly quick

That sounds the most promising report we've heard so far.

....when I see it

Please excuse my negativity but I will believe it when he runs out in a game for Casey Robbie

OldDee, if we didn't excuse your negativity we would have put you on ignore a long time ago. (sorry couldn't resist the poke - you are probably correct)

As a sort of aside to all of this the real gem of reality I see as bottle-able is that in the past we hung so many hopes on this player or that. These were our saviours, our only real hope of success. Hogans not on the park...and.... Mitch has left the park ....and ..... a handful of other things havent quite gone the expected paths. But we're still here and not just bumbling along we're actually getting somewhere , albeit slowly, but we are.

I'd love to see Hogan on the park this year but if he doesn't,,so be it. Not fussed

Great article in terms of terrific information from Mahoney. Exactly what some, including myself have called for. If it doesn't pan out that way then so be it but at please we have some clarity. Also sounds if they have managed him real ally well both in terms of the injury but also keeping him engaged. Love the idea of him working with the opposition analysts.

Round 19 Sunday, August 03

vs Brisbane @ the MCG

This is my predicted Hogan debut

yep I agree.

Actually on 2nd thoughts, I don't think he'll be ready for that game. So its either the Hawks game, or the Giants, our home game. If he gets thru to that point.

I think he'll be back around 12th July for Casey development for an easy run, at Port Melbourne.

I assume that would be games missed, not missing all that training. I think he's missed about the last month, with total rest. So he wouldn't be totally Unfit. He would be without any match condition, & I think hasn't run for the last month.

IMO he needs a 'mini Pre' build up on fitness work, & then eased into VFL games over 3 weeks. An easy hitout with Casey reserves (July12), then 3 games for Casey against Frankston, bye (training), the Northern Blues, & then the Borough @ Port.

I think he'll be ready to go against the Giants Rnd 21 at the MCG for his Debut.

Not a saviour BB just another piece of the puzzle and one that will give us more options, he's played a fair bit down back and to have him playing together with Chip and Pedo will ensure we have the flexibility to match or mismatch when the need arises.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
