The Song Formerly Known As 6,479 Posted August 17, 2014 Posted August 17, 2014 Will debut 2015, that's for sure. Big pre-season Hoges.
Moonshadow 17,678 Posted August 17, 2014 Posted August 17, 2014 I take back what I said about Jesse not playing next week. Regardless of Roosy's kimono, please play him.
Whispering_Jack 31,364 Posted August 22, 2014 Posted August 22, 2014 I have never been a fan of bringing in Jesse Hogan to play a cameo game for Melbourne in the final round of the season. It smacks very much of pumping up one's prized recruit purely for the purposes of PR and self-promotion which is exactly what the club was accused of when it pushed up Jack Watts for that Queens Birthday debut five years ago. Hogan was out of action for months before his rusty comeback in the VFL last week and I really see no useful purpose in him being out there at the moment. By way of a warning: Collingwood played its final round fixture for 2014 last night and it appears that Matthew Scharenberg has suffered yet another injury ~ Matthew Scharenberg to undergo scans as Collingwood sweats on his health after leg injury The Pies' other first round pick from last year, Nathan Freeman, hasn't played an AFL game this year, having succumbed to a series of hamstring injuries. These blokes will all come good eventually but the best thing for them at this stage is to wrap them up in cotton wool and bring them out when the pre season starts.
jnrmac 20,344 Posted August 22, 2014 Posted August 22, 2014 The Kid has one a B&F in 2's has been training the house down for a month and people want him to go to Casey and suffer 3 weeks of rubbish delivery , scoreboard beltings , very little excitement and sarounded by 6 or 7 blokes who know that there careers are finished and don't want to be there. Straight into the team next week for me thanks. You are talking about the Melbourne seniors here, yes?
What 18,810 Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 http://www.afl.com.au/news/2014-08-24/tired-dees-cant-compete Jesse not playing today. And no chance to debut next week why does the universe hate us?
rjay 25,424 Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 Seems like Roos is going to re cast the team this pre season and the cue is in the rack from the coach now as well as the players. No point having Jesse out there until his new teammates arrive.
beelzebub 23,392 Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 Can we just forfeit next Sat ? A sat night game in melb and just cant be bothered. Migjt as well have Mad Monday tomorrow . It might put some life into some of the lads !!!
dees189227 12,509 Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 no point playing him. Just rest him get him going in 2015. Sorry but the way things are going if Jesse plays in the last round and does a major injury rossy would never forgive himself. It achieves nothing playing him.
dazzledavey36 56,269 Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 Good idea that he isn't playing. Rest him up now, he will be fully fit now to attack pre season.
Matt Demon 1,597 Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 No info as to why he's not playing? Pulled up a little sore apparently, In Demonland talk he'll most likely miss the 2015 season.
Straight Sets Simon 23,113 Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 Pulled up a little sore apparently, In Demonland talk he'll most likely miss the 2015 season. Well he did just miss the 2014 season.
Nasher 33,649 Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 Seems like Roos is going to re cast the team this pre season and the cue is in the rack from the coach now as well as the players. No point having Jesse out there until his new teammates arrive. Disappointing but understandable.
gsmith12 491 Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 Good idea that he isn't playing. Rest him up now, he will be fully fit now to attack pre season. Agree, common sense prevails after all what is to be gained from a fixture between 2 bottom VFL units.
beelzebub 23,392 Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 Agree, common sense prevails after all what is to be gained from a fixture between 2 bottom VFL units. had we been kicking along a bit better than a run might have served a purpose. but as we're currently not turning up....well
