Terrible news but at least it's be caught early and he should be ok. Press conference at 9.45 with Josh Mahoney live on Fox Sports News.

    Poor kid. Wishing him a full recovery and happy to hear the prognosis sounds positive.

    No disrespect but curious - does anyone know the current AFL guidelines if this were to result in lowered or irregular testosterone and Jesse opted for replacement treatment? I've heard it as a topic of discussion in relation to sports previously but not sure where we're at. Also not sure if correct, but vaguely recall Alistair Lynch was prohibited from a form of hormonal steroid treatment despite it not elevating him to abnormal levels?

    Horrible news in such a challenging time for a young man after losing his father to cancer recently. They have caught it early so he has the best chance possible to beat it and be healthy again.

    Best wishes to Jesse and his close ones in this hard time.

    After what Jesse has been through with his father, and now this, it puts football into perspective. Whatever Jesse decides to do with his career/life from here on in, I just wish him the best.

  • Quote

    Unbelievable. What an awful stretch he is going through.

    Not much we can do, but wish him the best, and hopefully he knows there are 40,000 Melbourne members + many more supporters all behind him.

    My family and self all wish The Hoges a speedy recovery from this setback. I'm sure the whole football community will be sending out good vibes for this young man. 

  • Quote

    Wow. That just knocked me for 6

    You will be fine Jesse, rest up. 

    To the MFC Players: Play this year for Jesse and The Hogan Family. 

    A Finals campaign should beat the curse this club has endured once and for all

     Believe...

    I'm shocked. This is just devastating for Hogan and his family. 

    I wish him all the best and a speedy recovery. 

    I spoke to my doctor friend and she says it's a 90% recovery rate when caught early.

    Unbelievable. Lucky he was at an AFL footy club i reckon. The club has said there was 'an extremely early detection', which is likely related to how closely player's health is monitored. 

  • Quote

    Get well soon Jessie.  The Melbourne Football Club family, and the rest of the AFL community are in your corner.  You should be able to feel the vibe.

    Thoughts are with Jesse and his family, what an absurd run, here's to a speedy and healthy recovery.

  • Quote

    Sad news, although fantastic that is was caught early.

    And to all the people here who proclaimed they knew it "wasn't physical", chill out on the speculation next time - it'll make you look like less of an [censored] down the track.

    Can someone give us a rundown of the press conference?

    I'm at work so can't listen to it. 

  • Quote

    OIMG - poor bloke. Good Luck Jesse, the brother & sisterhood at Melbourne are with you 100% all the way!

    Thoughts are with Jesse and his family after what can only be described as a horrible patch in his life.

    Footy and the club will be here when he's ready, but it's secondary now.  We want him to take all the time he needs to be physically and mentally ready to return.  He's a strong and fit young man and no doubt he can bounce back positively from this in time.

    Spare a thought for his mum, who just buried her husband to cancer and now has to deal with her son having cancer. Just awful. My heart breaks for her.

     

  • Quote

    Our doctor is saying that he could be back playing footy in 4-8 weeks.  This is obviously extremely positive news and further proof that they have caught it very early which is bloody fantastic for Jesse.

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
