BOOM Melbourne youngster Jesse Hogan has not given up hope of making his highly-anticipated AFL debut this year, despite being placed on the Demon’s long-term injury list.

The power forward broke down with stress fractures in his back on the eve of Round 1 and suffered a setback last month when he tried to resume training.

But Hogan, 19, is expected to see a specialist this week and when given the all-clear will start running again.

Hogan is fresh from two weeks at home in Perth and could be get a start around Round 17 or 18.

But the Dees will maintain their ultraconservative approach on the man they secured through the 2012 mini-draft and are confident once fit again the issue will no longer plague him.

It is believed Hogan is fighting stress reactions in more than one bone in his lower back, a condition which can affect fast bowlers in cricket.

Hogan won the Casey Scorpions’ best-and-fairest last year, booting 39.21 from 15 appearances for the Dees’ VFL affiliate.

He played one NAB Challenge match — against Geelong in Alice Springs — which is where his back injury originated.

I am beginning to worry about Hogan the kid is 19 and the combination of living away from home and then not being able do the whole thing his life is built around must be a big strain.

I hope we are close to this kid.

Now I have no idea on his mental situation but after Clark I am concerned.

Maybe I am just a Dees supporter who from past experience sees the worst.

Is it just me? does anyone agree?

I'm quite the opposite OD, I'm worried he's going to hurt himself or someone else, such will be his enthusiasm at playing his first game.

He's spent the last year and half getting ready to be released onto an AFL field in Red and Blue.

Bring it on!

Hope so anyway.

Are we going to go through this every time a player is injured for more than a couple of months?

Depression isn't contagious.

I think it is your 4th line - he's a kid who wants to play footy. He has a sore back.

The rest is what we read into it.

Nothing to add to the thread machsy?

He's a kid who has an injury, let's not start with the mental health thing everytime a player has, what's deemed, a long term injury.

I challenge that for no other reason than I have observed his running gait on more than one occasion and compared it to that of a pregnant cow.

I now ask Mr. Webber Physio of extraordinary talent to have a look at his gait and comment whether he may have other problems causing the back problem?

Perhaps an injury somewhere else in the leg or even one leg shorter than the other?

He's definitely got several risk factors which could lead to him suffering some kind of short-term depressive illness (young, long-term injury, unable to work/train/play, away from family/support networks) - that's not to say it will happen but to discount others concerns outright is pretty silly.

No more silly than raising them really. How does it help either way other than to feed the endemic pessimism on these forums? :-)

Well it is a discussion forum, I don't see it as pessimism to raise concerns/possibilities especially with our track record.

This is a serious question... what exactly is our track record wth career ending injuries (and if you want to add this in to the mix, associated depression)?

A short-term depressive illness? Honestly...

What's sillier than discounting it is speculating about it.

Short term depressive illness- perhaps cut the b/s and say "the kid might be sad and frustrated he can't get on the park". To shift it to 'illness' is harmful and ridiculous. He can feel sad without being ill. Sheesh!

If the concerns are based upon professional expertise on depression and a close knowledge of the case or individual, then they may be reasonable. If concern stems from distant speculation or some inclination that depression is contagious within the club or that we handled it poorly in the past, then they are certainly pretty silly.

The kid is living with Jack Viney... is there one other guy in the Dees list who you would prefer Jesse live with. You can count on Jack to have the personality, attitude and the passion for the club required to keep him interested.

His blind love for the club is sure to rub off.

I don't think he lives with Viney any more.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
