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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
