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.

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:

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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
