Looking likely.

I did my colarbone years back. Needed pins etc. A good 2 months before you felt overly confident with it. Youre sore and shoulder tires .

Jesse Hogans 2017 season has to be the toughest a player has ever been through right?!

certainly up there with putrid years


Poor kid... what a rotten year for Jesse ... good health & come back when your ready!

when wil the footy gods shine on our club?

Regardless of whether he gets fit I think we should hold him until next year. He's had such an awful year, and to be honest when he came back he wasn't exactly setting the world on fire. 

Get him set for a big 2018. 

Agreed that it's time to pull the pin on season 2017. It's been a stinker for the poor kid. 

Unless we somehow make prelims I can't see us playing him again. And even still he will be so rusty I'm not sure it'll even be the right move.

Give him the best medical,surgical and rehab treatment.

Let him go home or be where he wants. Keep himself fit and trim to go but with no requirement or demand.

When we make the finals see if he is ready to go and match him up against Pedersen or alternatives.

Jesse is a class player who can dominate an opponent and a game but he must be ready to go. The coaches will know.


Tell him you want him back as soon as possible because he's a very important part of the team.  Tell him he'll be straight back in and the harder he works the quicker it will be.  Give him a reason to be enthusiastic about his recovery.  Make him feel wanted, not a failed product for 2017.

Don't put him out to pasture and take away his motivation.  Tell him he can be part of something really special and finish the year on a high and achieve with the team.

Give the kid something, don't take it away.

Yep.. because thats how you come over. 

Yours is a an archaic attitude to recovery imho. You don't think the sports med folk wouldn't have this worked out. 

You would rush something ?

There is nothing in my post saying he should be brought back before he's ready.  I was saying we should keep the season very much alive for him and give him incentive and hope, not shunt him off until next season as many suggested.

Thank goodness our psychological management of the players is so much better than it was

September is 4 weeks away

Hogan's collarbone would be an easy target for any opposition. 

He would need loads of pain killing injections, his year has been tough enough as it is

I hope he isn't rushed back

time for Pedo or The Weid to take another chance

...and the first final is 6 weeks due to extra bye week after round 23

 

 

Agree with those who say to not put Jesse on ice.   With a bit of luck we make it and a bit more luck Jesse has recovered.  If so he deserves the right to play, who knows when he may get another chance.

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

  • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

    A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
