I hope he is not in too much pain at the moment? Can't wait to see him out playing again, when he is able to that is; we miss ya big guy.

    Hogan has a presence up forward, something that most of our forwards (cough, weideman, cough) lack.

    Needs to return only when he is ready, but sooner the better.

    He was at the airport today on his way to Perth most likely with what looked like his mother....

    Channel 7 just reported that Jesse flew back yesterday.  They said MFC is hoping he will play on QB.

    They didn't give a source so it could be speculation.

    But tbh I think the club will continue to be low key about it.

    So, looking fwd to Goodwin's mid week press conference when we might get a clear picture. 

    Edit: http://www.afl.com.au/news/2017-05-29/demons-star-hogan-set-to-return-to-the-club 

    It confirms the club is hopeful he is available for the QB game but predictably "... Demons are keen to ensure the power forward has the appropriate level of conditioning after an interrupted start to the season that saw him play just four matches..."

    Anyone with expertise on the matter feel free to weigh in. The doctor quoted Hogan as 4-8 weeks when it was diagnosed. I'm guessing he was thinking of Jesse's mindset and mental demons rather than the operation itself taking that long to heal? If he plays against Collingwood it would be only 3 weeks or so. No rush of course but I hope he does. Imagine 70,000 fans roaring when he takes his first mark and 22 red and blue jumpers swamping him after a goal. It would be the best story of the year to date.

    One day less than 4 weeks.

    It will just be over 4 weeks by the time the game comes around, let's hope the big fella gets up.

    He was operated on a Tuesday wasn't he ?  Game is on a Monday.

  • Quote

    Would be a massive effort by the big fella, like all injuries/medical issues I just want him to come back when he's right but in the case I'd also like it to be a mentally right deal. 

    Getting out there might well be the best thing for him psychologically, then again it could be the worst thing. I'll trust that he and the club will make the best call for him.

    I think you're right

    Surgery would be classified as non major but still significant.

    From a physical perspective I feel there would be minimal risk pending clearance from his surgeon .

    The other two considerations are 

    1 mentally able ,I suspect that from what is being said this may be doable 

    2 physical condition , may be more an issue considering other games missed pre op and  now.

    training for two weeks will give better idea 

    my thoughts possible but may be not probable

    I get that QB is a big game for the club and i'll try not to be over confident about this, but he'd be far more valuable with an extra week recovery and ready to go against the Dogs, followed with a home visit back to WA and ready to fire against the Eagles.

    If he's right to play he'll play, if they think he needs more time he'll get more time.

    It's pretty simple.

    Serious question, will he be able to legally have testosterone replacement therapy so far as wada/asada is concerned , if not he is going to be at a serious disadvantage.

    Good story if it happens. Better make that 21 red and blue jumpers though and not 22. We would have exceeded our on field numbers otherwise. The AFL would love that to happen!

    He won't need that. Do a little bit of Googling.

     

    Even if he did, he would allowed to. That kind of thing is covered under the drug code. Unless he tried to hide it which he wouldn't need to.

    You just never know. The MRP might fine C'wood for playing a man short.

    • 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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
