The news all over the Twitterverse is that Jesse Hogan (not to be confused with our Jesse the key forward) has suffered a stroke. 

He is also an avid Demon fan and we wish him a speedy recovery.

Poor guy is only relatively young. Hopefully he can make a recovery. Best of luck.

A few wins for the dees throughout the year will put a smile on his face during recovery and rehab.

Is there some doubt over it being true?

Many wishes for speedy recovery.

BTW, the title of this thread shows how to do it so as not to cause heart attacks among Demonland faithful. Well played, sir, well played.

That is terrible news, love Hogan's pieces and he seems like a genuinely good guy. He is also very active and always keen for a chat on twitter.

Wishing him a very speedy recovery.

A reminder of the fragility of life and why our presence on this planet is so precious. So important to enjoy each day and be aware of our own mortality and of our fellow human beings. Our sympathy to others is important as ultimately we are all connected.  Life is fragile, handle with care.

I get exactly those symptoms whenever I have a migraine.

I have been getting those symptoms every season. 

Really wish Jesse a complete recovery - all the best to him.

Has anyone heard any news on Jesse's progress?

Someone posted on Twitter a couple of days ago that there had been some slight improvement but to what extent, I don't know. I hope he wakes up to a win on or before the opening day of the season.

Yes, it revealed that he sat up and was awake for a "couple of hours".

Encouraging.

A quick update for those interested, I just spent the last 2 months in the Royal Talbot rehabilitation centre with Jesse as I had a stroke myself. Jesse is doing well and has just started to walk with the aid of a crutch. There is still plenty of rehab ahead for him but being the fine young man he is I have no doubt he will  meet any future challenges head on.

Go Blues!

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
