Jack Riewoldt leaving? What is the relevance to Hogan if I may ask? A trade?

I suspect WODF that you misses the ironic inflection in the poster's voice.

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

Possibly not the best word to use in this context - perhaps time off, or rest would be better ?

However, we need to trust the club Doc's and fitness staff.

No we don't need to trust them anymore. Viney, Gawn, Salem and Watts all came back too early.

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

Would love to know whether the current injury was caused by Viney compensating for his original injury. Too much of a co-incidence for mine

Your post: "Viney came back too early, but I don't know if this new injury is related to the old injury."

Yep. Viney did come back to early whether reinjured or not. Played 1 good game since back. Love him for trying though

Hogan is arguably the most valuable player on our list. I'm beginning to believe we play worse with him.

i'm not a massive believer in stats but I want to see big numbers from Hogan if he comes back in tackles and pressure stats.

I feel your pain bro. Get better soon. I broke my collarbone (+ ribs + vertebrae) in a cycling accident some years ago.

And my son broke his collarbone 2 weeks ago. (Football injury.)

Tip. Maybe give away the motorbike??

A myth

Round 1 -   30 pt Win v Saints - Hogan 21 disposals, 8 marks, 3 goals

Round 2 -   22 pt Win v Blues -  Hogan 22 disposals, 10 marks

Suspended

Round 5 - 11 point loss to Tigers - Hogan 11 disposals, 3 goals - Tigers only beat us as we were two men down

Jesses father passes away

Round 7 -  3 point loss to Hawks -  Hogan  16 disposals, 4 marks, 3 goals

Diagnosed with his illness

Round 16  -  18 point win vs Blues - Hogan  10 disposals, 4 marks, 1 goal

Round 17  -  46 point loss to Crows - Hogan  11 disposals, 7 marks

Round 18  -  23 point win vs Power - Hogan  23 disposals, 5 marks, 3 goals

Round 19 -  4 point loss vs North - Hogan  11 disposals, 2 marks, 1 goal - injured during game

 

Hes played 8 games, our record is 4-4. THe RIchmond loss was unlucky, and we would have beat North if he didnt get injured.

He was dominant in 3 games. He started strong vs Kangas before breaking collarbone.

He was understandably rusty for a couple of games coming back from his illness.

Hes had the most interrupted season you will ever see from any player for so many different reasons. 

We are much better when hes in the team and you're right, he is incredibly valuable.

Good post. I can't remember a season where one player gets floored and has to get up again so many times over. Talk about the year from hell. He hasn't had any real chance to get going, but has still been alright, and has shown glimpses of his best.

Fitting that this week, he plays game 50 on his third comeback for the year. He gets so much focus that it feels like it should be 150, but it's a reminder that he's still only just getting started. It won't be long before he finally does actually get a decent run at it and will remind people how good he is.

A really good post.

I think the myth that we could be better off Hogan is that all our most momentous wins of late have in Jesse-free sides; Vs Geelong in Geelong, Vs Hawks at the G and then this year Vs Crows in Adelaide and Eagles over in the West.

Good post.

I think there is more to it than his stats alone. But just on these, the timing of his worst games (Richmond, Hawthorn, Carlton 2, Adelaide) becomes quite marked.

He was also building into really solid form before the collarbone. His game against Port was really important and he set up our first half lead with the football he excels at. I hope he's able to recapture that today.


This guy. Lost his Dad this year, fought Testicular cancer, back 2 weeks after breaking his collarbone.... amazing!

Jesse Hogan!  Everyone who has doubted him or wanted to trade him, hang your head.

All year he’s been Resilient and Courageous.

Today he was Inspirational.  A terrific 50th game from him.  Virtually won the game from his own boot.

6 goals.  Welcome back, Jesse.:wub:

Trade him. 

For Lever, Kelly, Hipwood and two 1st round picks.

Absolutely amazing comeback three weeks after a broken clavicle. Just amazing.

You were saying?

One of the best "return from injury" games i have ever seen

busted collarbone 3 weeks ago...

thankyou Jesse...

 

I felt like he moved as well as I've seen him in 2 years today. He just looked fit, and he ran at the ball carrier a lot.

His kicking was incredible too. He didn't look like missing. 

Just to give it some perspective Daniher has played 70 odd games straight for Essendon. If Jesse does that for us we will win a flag and he'll win a Coleman.

He had confidence in leading up at the ball carrier, he had confidence when it hit the ground, and he had confidence in his set shot routine (20 steps every time).

A reminder to the competition what he is capable of.

  • 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.
