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!

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.

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.

 

Yeah, he lives with Dean Kent, Jimmy toumpas and Jesse were staying with Jack Viney last year.

  • PREVIEW: Fremantle

    A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
