Not what we want to hear: "I think he's (Hogan) still a bit away. He's not going to turn up next week and play – he's a minimum of a couple of weeks away," (Peter) Jackson said". http://www.afl.com.au/news/2017-06-12/hogan-at-least-two-weeks-away-after-surgery

Rnd 15 (Swans), Rnd 16 (Carlton), Rnd 17 (Crows)?  One step at a time, I guess.  Get back to full training and see how he goes.  Undoubtedly, his well being comes first and foremost. 

As long as he is fully ready for finals :rolleyes: as any team who makes the 8 can take it out this year; the comp is so close.

But like everyone else, I just can't wait till his next game.

The CEO should leave that stuff to the appropriate personnel in the coaching department.

All I want to hear from PJ is that the club is looking after his long term health interests.

 

Round 15, under the Friday night lights vs the Swans at the G'  ....  seems like a good bet for his return game.

He will definitely fly to Perth with the team for the West Coast game, so it could be a good opportunity for him to return then. If not, I agree Sydney game looks pretty promising.

The word I am getting is Hogan still a likely starter. He is fit, wants to play, but faces a mixed view from footy department on whether he is mentally ready and physically conditioned. It will come down to selection committee on Thursday. There may also be some gamesmanship going on here.

Thats what I am hearing. It's from the top. Its by no means absolute. Just what I am hearing. 

Happy to be smashed on here for giving gossip on a "gossip site". Personally I find it entertaining. Knock yourself out!  

Looking forward to some apologies.

He's clearly not anywhere near and understandably so.  It's also clear that GNF's definition of "from the top" sets a very low bar which gives us an insight into GNF station in life.

I like rumour but I don't like fabrications.  Give me Nudge any day.

He even made a comment in another post that they thought he might have even played the week before QB.  That's when I knew he was a liar.

He hadn't even returned to any form of outdoor training.  He needs a block of a couple of weeks to be ready.

Or Chilli Boy

Misso reckons he is still 4-6 away. 2-3 weeks of running and the same of training. 

 

No one at the club, or "at the top" would've told anyone Hogan was going to play QB. He hadn't even trained, still hasn't. Even the cleaner at the club would've known he wasn't going to play. 

What a [censored] thing to lie about.

In his press conf Goodwin said Jesse won't play next week but will most probably play the week after!

That will be round 16 vs Carlton game @ MCG.

Remembering the game earlier this year when their doctor's dodgy medical reports that cost Jesse and Lewis extra weeks of suspensions! 

Our best revenge is to thrash them!

How good will it be to see Jesse running around the G again!

Along with Sydney this week, Carlton won't be an easy game. If we can win the next couple of weeks and manage the health of our list then we are well setup for a strong finals campaign.

Goodwin said it will be great to 'see a smile on Jesse's face again' when he returns to play.  Clearly, Jesse is itching to get on the park again :rolleyes:

Friday night is already a huge game.  Having Jesse back will make it even bigger!

I have been asking the Blues supporters at work if they noticed the Suns game at Etihad. Answer: mainly No Why?

Not one of them had long sleeves. Yet the Blues had at least 6 players that I could see at the MCG in long sleeves. I was told by at least 2 that it is a generational thing (Silvani). I replied Im sure Hardwick would have pointed out at 3/4 time how they are finding the weather uncomfortable.

6 hmmm....that's interesting and quite unusual these days....hadn't really noticed that many


I jumped on this thread to get an update on Hogan - I don't see the connection between Carlton jumper sleeves and Jesse? Am I missing something?

Tea leaves (and sleeves) point to Jesse back for Blues, optimists hoping for a pressie on Friday night...

A sneaky chance! ;)

We are going so well he should come back via Casey ;)

if he treats this period as a preseason, he can gear himself up for a big tilt at August and September action.  Happy to see him vs the Swans, only if he is absolutely 100%.  No free rides, even for JH.  

As an aside for those interested you can see all of the Weeds goals for Casey on Utube - well worth a look. Having Watts, Hoges and the Weed together up forward in the future will be amazing.

Looks good - but I feel he would be best to play quite a few more VFL games to maintain confidence - but next year as you say could be really exciting.  

Selection dilemmas.

As much as I hate to say it, Jess needs to take a break away from the game until next season. We all love the boy, but clearly wasn't ready for a return.

Play him up the ground. His kicking will always limit his effectiveness up forward

Does look better upfield.

  • 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.

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
