Jesse Hogan Injury Update?

[Good Times Grimes 2,396]

Kent could be good for him to live with as well. A fellow West Australian, signed up until 2016, seems to me like a hard worker. I gather that he's quite close with Toump and Viney as well. I don't think the constant fretting on here is necessary; if I were a betting man I'd put money on him extending his contract.

[rpfc 28,780]

As do I.

What's it like in the house?

Not sure, never been inside...

[SaberFang 7,151]

Nice to hear Jesse and Tommy Hawkins caught up for coffee the other week, I believe at Tom's suggestion, to talk about Jesse's injury and help coach him through what would be a difficult period. Champion material right there.

Just stalking from the outside

[Pipefitter 2,168]

I've been camping outside of his house going through his rubbish bins. Lots of WA newspapers in there. Hahaha. #relaxwevegotthis

Misson:

"“Jesse has come back from Perth and has improved a lot,” Misson said.

“We’d expect to start loading Jesse, from a running point of view, in a couple of weeks’ time. He’s probably four weeks after that before he’s even looking like he’s ready to play."

So optimistically 6, realistically 8?

[Ted Lasso 19,549]

I'd say round 1 2015 is when he will play imho

I'd say they'll want to give him a taste of the Dees by the end of the year. One or two should do it and have him busting to pull on the guernsey for 2015!

[Curry & Beer 5,444]

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.

He will need a month at Casey

If we are lucky he might play the last couple of games of the year for the Demons

They gave Grimes a game, last of the season, when he was injured and had problems with his back, it was just to give him a sample of what it was al about.

I'd like to see him play 3 or 4 matches with Casey, to test his back injury prior to next pre season.

[Dr. Gonzo 24,306]

A short-term depressive illness? Honestly...

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

Yeah, or "acute adjustment disorder with depression and/or anxiety" for those technical types.

Thank you Doctor. Your opinions on these medical matters are always highly valued.

Bit rough.

We've got no indications yet that the kid is a mercenary.

One week at Casey and then wherever his form dictates. If the back is fine it'll be fine in either team. And if it's not it's got as much chance of playing up in either side.

He's one of those players that fans in the competition love to give it to, but good on him for offering advice on getting Jesse through this difficult time in his career.

If he gets a couple of games in before the end of the year I'll be happy.

Great gesture by Hawkins - a genuine champion in all aspects of life.

i think when he's ready to enter at VFL level he'll still be a couple of weeks off AFL fitness. the VFL games would get him some match fitness before any AFL hitout.

Not sure about that - massive tightarse!

it probably is rough - but the "bleed red and blue" cliche is highly overused. ( used in relation to Viney)

We laud Jones and his commitment - the same commitment that saw his last contract negotiations stall somewhat as Essendon put in a huge play for him.

I am always bemused by the "he aint going anywhere" statements because the reality is now that the greatest majority of AFL footballers will consider offers from other clubs for varying reasons.

I have now taken the stance that a player will either re-sign or he won't. I don't lose a minutes sleep over it anymore and after Scully i don't hold an opinion on any player at our club staying or going.

The only fact I cling onto is that if a Hogan wants to go to the Eagles or Freo, it will cost them plenty as they have to trade with us. Unless you are a free agent you cannot get to the club of your choice without our co-operation. The only way a non free agent player can walk for nothing is if he prepared to be drafted by a cellar dweller.

Or perhaps it was a very cleverly cloaked attempt at getting in his ear... Oh fark, he's going to Geelong!
