Went to training, leaned nonchalantly on a tree and observed the following:-

Squad was split in two, Casey and AFL side, Blease and Nicholson with Casey, Terlich and Riley with AFL side

Jesse Hogan did more running, speed up a bit on some runs, had a good chat to Andrew Nicol after he finished (Nicol is Player Development Manager, assume this covers their wellbeing as well), Jesse was relaxed and happy.

Asked JKH about his demotion, was starting to feel AFL level in his legs, no full preseason, and had a slight dip in form, decided it was better for him to go back to Casey get some game miles into his legs and find his mojo again.

For the Clisby admirers, ready to resume next week, fitness/medical rule, you need to complete one week of full training before you are considered for a game, he says he is ready this week but has to stick with the rule, had a bad tear in the tendon in his quad that took two more weeks than it should to settle down.

Had a word with one of the forgottens, Dom Barry, they are trying to build him into a fully rounded player, with ability to play halfback and midfield, utilising his natural skills, has been getting run with roles to ensure he develops his defensive side, enjoying playing at the moment with the new challenges coaches throw at him, coaching staff 'are happy' with his progress, trying to just be consistent week in week out (a theme there).

Spoke to Dean Terlich, he thinks what some posters thought as well, happened to be the 7th defender at completely the wrong time when team structure changed, just has to keep playing well and wait for an opportunity to open.

Last off the track by about ten minutes were Viney and Tyson, practicing picking up a loose ball at pace and kicking for goal.

Again any questions feel free.

Typical Saty, leaning against a tree when there is work to be done.

Was Hogan working on his own or with one of the groups?

Thanks

No I am afraid he is just running laps and part laps on his own, in his breaks he looks wistfully at the drills taking place, I think they have his program down to the last step and he knows playing is at the end of it, if he sticks to it, he doesn't seem to have deteriorated physically at all with the inactivity

Saty, The last time I saw Hogan run was before he went back home for a rest.

He had an ungainly gait, which I thought may have been causing stress on his back.

How is his gait at the moment? Is it fairly fluid?

He walks like John Wayne (for any youngsters look him up), and his slow running style is more of a lope, that doesn't seem to have changed neither has his faster speed which looks normal to me, he was on the other oval on Wednesday with 3 staff watching him closely, one I didn't recognise, I asked who he was and got mumbles, perhaps you are correct and they are exploring all avenues as to why the back gets stressed

Hey saty, hows the toump travelling? Does it seem like roosy rates him / what things is he working on in his game?

Consistency, he is like Strauss, when you read Allison's reviews they rate both but at the moment both are not putting it together consistently

He looks fine at training, no issues and his kicking especially is excellent

Forgot this bit hopefully this is on topic, for everybody that was concerned about a certain Nathan Jones' availability, looks like he becomes a father on Monday

Also promised me not to expend all his nervous energy proudly watching his younger brother debut for the Swans at the G tonight, told him I didn't think he would make a very good spectator

Saty has Jesse Hogan fallen apart after you told him about the 30 page thread on Demonland?

No, apparently he was so impressed he re-signed for 2 more years. If it's true well done Saty
