For those of you who missed the Demonland podcast last night, Troy Chaplin said Jesse will be doing some contact work on his shoulder at a session tomorrow, and could be back as early as next week.

"We're actually looking at doing some contact training with him on Saturday with a view that he may come back next week, depending on how it goes.

"His turnaround has been fantastic, he hasn't given up on the year, he really wants to come back and contribute to the team.

"We're looking forward to having him back because we know what sort of quality player he is. He's probably learned so much about himself this year, and his resilience, no-one can question that at all, and for a 22-year-old, it's quite unbelievable really."

That's remarkable given the reports on the injury at the time indicated that the collar bone had multiple fractures.

Not as bad as first thought?

If he plays next week then they've treated him by injecting him with Jack Viney's blood. 

Tony Sheahan on Twitter reckons Jesse is weighing up going home again. 

Here we go again!

I see he's used quotation marks in his tweet. It must be true then.

Surely he was always going to eventually head home?

Especially can't blame him after the year he's had.

Won't be back next week. Not at AFL level anyway

Drove past Gosch's this morning at 9.50 am and Jesse was out there with some trainers doing over head marking and marking off the pads( like they do at quarter time home games). Looked ok, no signs of discomfort. Might see him in the last game against the filth.

Nothing in it I reckon.  He is just going off internet rumours, some of which were started by some on here.

Tony Sheahan, great source lol.

Looking to make a name for himself but  in the enormous shadow cast by his old man.

Have heard Tony Shehan a few times on Radio. 

Hack Journo that certain people have shot down in flames in the last year or so

He and Stephen J Peake are a good pair

Steve is a partner in a horse with me and is a nice bloke.  

Is a Lawyer who got into media through his first involvement with boxing. He is not a journo.

No he is not. But his voice and opinions pollute the airwaves on a regular basis. 

For years i have heard him ridicule WADA and CAS and defend the AFL

He would never represent me. 

I used to hear his voice above everyone elses at Zappa's Cafe many years ago...

goodwin was on sen coaches box last night in the first hour of their pre-game coverage from 6pm

he was specifically asked about this rumour and completely refuted it: https://www.sen.com.au/news/2017/08/11/dees-coach-responds-to-hogan-to-wa-talk/

key quotes:

“Jesse is a Melbourne person, he signed to the club last year and he is absolutely committed to the footy club,” the Demons coach said.

“We’re committed to Jesse, he’s a quality person that we have invested a lot into. That’s just pure rumour.”

That is great news! 

And yesterday's win keeps the season alive for Jesse. 

What a great reward for his resilience to play finals!   

Needs to be 100% ready in mind & body

What an inclusion he'd be going into an elimination final. Fingers crossed he can get himself right.

I may be the only person who thinks this but our best footy has been without Hogan this year. When Hogan doesnt play, Pederson more often than not steps up and we are more unpredictable. 

And 1 thing that I find most melb fans look past is his attitude to chase. Its been pathetic all year.  And I dont care about anything else other than effort and he doesnt provide that. Hogans kicking also needs work. Fortunately Pedo has stepped up and shown supporters his attributes and he needs to stay in the team all year. 

Heartwarming to see him on the track.

No contact but he seemed to use his left arm and shoulder ok so hopefully all is good with his collar bone.

Hogan played well v port kicked 3 goals no we are a better side with hogan in form,  don't kid your self he has a huge future, if he did not get cancer he would of had a good year, hard to have a good season when u play 2 games then have weeks off, also having a family member dying, could you be at your best at work with a family member dying, pedo is not a long term player he is over 30, you would get rid of a 23 year  old  key forward just about to get into his prime over a 30 year old, that's just short term thinking, and plain dumb.

Edited August 16, 20177 yr by don't make me angry

Anyone one would struggle with such an intermittent stop-start season like his. Really just hope he can get a clear run at it next year after the year from hell.

He has been named... question is will he play?  Three weeks removed from a broken collarbone.

Miraculous recovery. Good luck big fella!

Not just named...on the paddock ffs . Mind boggles
