Positive, fingers crossed.

Saw Hogan at the G before the match. He was with Max King and (Riley I think). They all seemed happy and joking together. Hogan appeared to be moving without pain and in good spirits.

Dear lord don't tell me he was smiling!!!! Must have signed a contract with Freo if he was smiling...

still 'indefinite' . .... ?

I might go down to training on Friday just to see him run haha.

Want to make sure it's actually real.

What?? What would you expect? Him hobbling around the G with a walking frame?

Noticeably limping?

Its common knowledge the kid has started running again.

Of course he's moving without pain.

You are such a positive chap Machsy.

This is the Jesse Hogan injury update forum is it not? Many on here may wonder about Hogans demeanor, my comments were more to do with his apparent happiness.

An update on his freedom of movement I thought may bring some happiness, not to you obviously.

You are no doubt such an astute observer of sportsmen to state "Of course he's moving without pain" How would you know?

Many of the guys actually playing are carrying niggling injuries and managing pain.

Have a nice day Mr Negative.

Edit- Fix typo.

Life has done something to hurt you hasn't it Machsy.

Others has previously posted seeing Hogan by himself, not smiling and looking, what they thought, a little down.

Good to hear he was with other players and was having a laugh.

In Roosy's after match presser he said Hogan is running out on the "deck" (assume that's on the ground as opposed to the zero g machine) without any after effects. Should ramp that up over the next few weeks with a view to hopefully getting in about 4 games at the back end of the season. Fingers crossed.

if we had hogan and/or clark all year we would pushing top 4 right now

well wed be 4 goals a game better off

As I have posted on here before my best mate is good friends with Jesse, she just told me he has had a really good running week, no pain or discomfort, that will be stepped up and the club feels he can play the last five games of the year with no setbacks!

She said he is in really good spirits in general, just always looks grumpy which she picks on him about, apparently made a funny picture saying he won $1,000,000 and then had his grumpy face on it.

Apparently enjoying the club, loves roosy but still very frustrated about his injury, wants to be out there, wants to join the ride the boys are on

And

She told me he would like to stay at Melbourne beyond his current contract, while returning home to play for Freo is tempting but he really wants to repay the faith we have shown in him, apparenty still in regular contact with Mitch who has become a real mentor for him.

Must you be so rude?

The kid was spotted in the crowd.

I bloody hope you are right!!! How does your best mate know him? Uni?

She works in advertising and she did a bit of work for the club, it just so happened they had a chat one day at the club and have kept in touch, she reckons when i visit her next she is going to introduce me if Jesse is free so that is pretty exciting

you groupy, you.....

If you do get the chance to meet him.....

Tickle him and see if he cracks a smile

tell ya what, i'd do alot more than tickle him if it meant he signed a contract, but we have to be realistic, he could kick 10 and win best on in our next flag and still look grumpy,

that is beyond my powers

Not a fan of this line.....

I think they are in his ear already, but we always knew this would happen.

Its the way of the world.

He can be tempted all he likes - unless he becomes a free agent he can't get to Freo unless they finish bottom of the ladder and he goes uncontracted or we construct a trade.

I hate the FA thing. I find the concept that we should consider trading away a player just to make sure that he doesn't leave for nix as a FA very uncomfortable.

True that.

I hope he settles in though and starts to taste real success.
