Fair effort from Jesse!  I broke my collarbone when I was I kid and was still in plaster a month later.

Kick a bag Jesse, can't wait to see you out there dominating the G again.

Wow. I am quite shocked. 

I hope this work out well

good luck Jesse

Hopefully he'll be having a week off after the pies game before finals. I suspect they might have wanted him to have a couple of games then a break rather than one on one off

Casey Jess, like everyone else. Earn it. Best wishes by the way; you have had a lot on you're plate.

You'd certainly hope it's alright. Still feel that Viney came back too quickly

is it? did I miss something? 

 

This feels reckless and desperate. It will be cold and possibly wet and a slog. Give him the extra week, i say.

Im sure they wouldnt be risking Jesses long term future here. Have to trust the club on this and that they have his longevity as a player in mind

He got a plate inserted so i assume that means his bone is secured and willheal on its own accord now regardless or impacts etc. Probably leaves it just down to pain etc

My first though was the same, he is back in after 2 weeks, wow.

However, we need to trust the club Doc's and fitness staff. He may not move outside of Melbourne's inside 50 and maybe push up the wing for uncontested ball.

In regards to the weather, supposedly the last drop of rain will be 11am Saturday morning, the drainage at the G should be good enough to ensure that the ground is not 'muddy'. It is Melbourne, so i'm expecting snow Sunday afternoon.

Yes. It's not related to the planter fascia that was operated on according to Mahoney..

We are playing Brisbane, we could have played Weid another week if we wanted.

Hogan is ready.

Yes but how often do associated injuries occur.
