I posted this in the thread about his illness but don't like seeing that pop up so thought it nicer to start another thread to track his return. 

Goodwin says Jesse is recovering at home in Perth and will be back at the club next week then starts some training.  http://www.melbournefc.com.au/video/2017-05-21/rd-9-simon-goodwin-postmatch

We have a bye the week after he returns.  At that stage he will have played 4 games of 11 so may well have a run at Casey to get some match fitness back.  So maybe round 13 vs Bulldogs or round 14 vs WCE. 

Regardless of when Jesse plays again its great that he is recovering well and wants to get back to footy.

    I hope like hell he is able to come back before then.  Horribly selfish of me, I know, especially considering the circumstances, but I was holding out hope that he would be back after the Pies game (or around about that mark).

    Obviously I wouldn't begrudge him as much time as he needs, but from a football standpoint and knowing how competitive Jesse is, I can see him back in the side before then.

    Edit - and good move on the new thread, LH.

    Sorry Wise, typo on my part!  I put in the date rather than the round.  The Bulldogs game is the round after the Pies game ie round 13 on June 18 and WCE is round 14.

    I have amended my typo's!

    No worries - I thought those games looked a long way off, seemed strange, but that makes sense!

    And now I totally agree with you - the Doggies game would be fantastic, but it might end up being the Eagles game when he returns.

    I hope everyone who said we play better without Hogan will now shut up. Even on a quite day you can still expect Hogan to kick your 3 goals and give us a target to kick to us forward.

    The importance of Jesse is now proving in the games we've lost. I still get goosebumps what a 80 to 100 game Jesse Hogan could do.

  • Quote

    The issues will be mental.  If Hogan can get back quickly conditioning will not be so much of an issue.

    Both Gawn and Hogan could be back for QB. By god North showed us how badly we need out big men back.

    Serious fans never took that line of thinking seriously anyway.  It was rubbish and yesterday was even further proof of that.  We can't get him back quickly enough.

    There is no way he plays at Casey.  He is way to valuable

    He won't play at Casey.

    Hogan had a ripping preseason so his conditioning will be good. Won't take him long to catch up physically.

    Has a lot on his mind and he'll be aware of his needs and the support he's getting from family and the club.

    I'm guessing he'd want to get back into the routine of playing footy with his mates.

    Good to hear he is getting back to the club soon and is in good spirits.

    I can assure you he won't be coming back through the 2's though. Just give him and extra week of training instead.

    Would take a non match fit Hogan (as long as he is completely over his cancer) ahead of Oscar and Weid. Both are developing but not ready yet for regular AFL footy.

    No pressure, Jesse.  Take as long as you want.  (Just so long as you're back for our next game! -- Only kidding!  Well, sort of...)

  • Quote

    I'd say Hoges and Maxy will both be back for the Queens birthday clash

  • Quote

    He will be back in 3 to 4 weeks I bet, seeing as he caught it early and it hasn't spread anywhere else it isn't such a big deal. Sounds weird talking about cancer in that way but I feel like it is true in this case

    I was told that this particular operation has a sizeable cut in the groin rather than the sack. Aside from any mental issues Jesse may experience this is what will take the longest to heal and resume training.

    I did not say Jesse should come back thru Casey.  Just saying that it is rare for a player to come straight in when he has played 4 in 12 games and the 4 weren't consequtive.  In similar circumstances players will often do a mini preseason including a reserves game.

    I can't wait for him to come back but I just hope we don't rush him back. 

    Looking after Jesse's wellbeing physical and mental is the most important thing no matter how desperate we or the club are for him to play seniors.

    It may depend on him, he's a competitive beast but he might not want much fanfair for him getting back out on a footy field. A quiet introduction at Casey could be something he'd want instead. 

    Personally I just want him back when he and the doctors feel he's good to go.

    Hogan will ahead of schedule.  Wanted to play vs Adelaide after his diagnosis, and Goodwin says he cant wait to get back out there.

    The surgery was minor, despite the seriousness of the diagnosis.

    Queens Birthday vs the Pies will be the game.

    Probably a blessing in disguise that Jesse has had the chance to spend some extra time away with family, i would love him to play asap but reality is if his head isn't in it yet there is no point rushing him back. 

    Queens birthday seems a good aim but don't want to put a time frame on it

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
