Just a reminder

okay - i wasn't excited until I saw these again.

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

Obviously Jesse needs to be under strict instructions to inform the medicos at the first sign of pain though. We can't risk another hiccup because it's well and truly season ending.

I thought we weren't allowed to post porn videos on demonland.

Spewing I'm headed overseas on August 8.


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

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

....when I see it

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

Watched the videos again... Damn I hope he loves Melbourne and never leaves!!


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.

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.

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.

Good article finally. As supporters if we don't see them on the track we have no idea. Great to see they are working on his core.

  • PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Having convincingly defeated last year’s premier and decisively outplayed the runner-up with 8.2 in the final quarter, nothing epitomized the Melbourne Football Club’s performance more than its 1.12 final half, particularly the eight consecutive behinds in the last term, against a struggling St Kilda team in the midst of a dismal losing streak. Just when stability and consistency were anticipated within the Demon ranks, they delivered a quintessential performance marked by instability and ill-conceived decisions, with the most striking aspect being their inaccuracy in kicking for goal, which suggested a lack of preparation (instead of sleeping in their hotel in Alice, were they having a night on the turps) rather than a well-rested team. Let’s face it - this kicking disease that makes them look like raw amateurs is becoming a millstone around the team’s neck.

  • CASEY: Sydney

    The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
    This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?
