What? Cross is already good to go? The man is a machine

 

[Demon 16]

Other than Hogan who I reckon we won't see in the seniors this year now, that list is looking ok.

Certainly not as bad as previous years - except that doesn't include M. Clark (ret.) which is kind of a big deal. Sigh.

 

[schmuttt]

Well no chance of hogan playing at afl level now you'd think.

 

[Topkent]

It would be so much easier for everyone if they just said he is focusing for being 100% for next season

 

[CM Sean]

They wrote up an article claiming he was 50/50 to play a game this year.

You obviously don't believe in jinxes.

Im actually certain the club has bullshitted us around the health of Jesse Hogan, and im a little annoyed they are still telling us that he might be available in 1-4 weeks

What the *s the point

 

[Theseventhhamster]

They certainly played down ******* up twice in missing that he had a stress fracture. I guess they are now gun shy. He's fine to play now if they wanted him to.

Is there any point playing him now though? Sure they have to give the kid something to aim for but is there really a point building him up for one game?

not sure what the point is anymore, but prior to this I suspect it has mostly been about selling memberships. a bit underhanded really.

 

[Demon 16]

Supporter engagement, plus offering a little bit of incentive for Hogan to take on his recovery with intensity I imagine.

I reckon it would be a load off for Hogan to get a run now rather than waiting 6 months to debut.

If hes ready then play him now is my point, if he is still in doubt put him away for the season

The bone is healed all he can do is a soft tissue thing which he's got months to get over anyway. I think he'll get a run if he hasn't had a setback they aren't telling us about.

Hogan and Toumpas to return to the VFL this week according MFC website

Would have thought he is going to debut in a nice little teaser in round 23 if he is playing VFL this week.

Sweet. The spin they put on Hogan's injury management was pretty funny though.

"He was diagnosed with stress reactions in his lower-back after experiencing soreness after the game.

Initial fears were that he could develop a stress fracture in his back, but Melbourne pounced on the problem early and decided to place Hogan on the long-term injury list to give him the appropriate time to recover." lol

It begins..........

 

[schmuttt]

Rumor on demonland that he will debut over in Perth (In front of his family and also away from melbourne, both moves that I like).

 

[Theseventhhamster]

Sucks that he won't debut on the G. Hope we can get a decent turnout for the Norf game.

Other words , we put too much on him in preseason and we ****ed him for the year
