I wonder if the hip injury he had was legitimate or just an excuse while they sorted all this out? Hope the kid is ok.

Wow... Triple M that is some disgraceful click-bait.
They won't be the last, no integrity required by media outlets in this country.
This sucks a big pair of nuts.

Wishing him all the best. Sounds like something more serious than homesickness to me. I'm sure the club are supporting him well with whatever he is going through.
Suspect it would be too much to ask the media to f off and respect his privacy?

Man, that is actually disgusting.
While on the topic of disgusting, I know he is entitled to privacy and all but I really really really want to know whats going on and whether I should just write him off. I'm with everyone else so far, surely its more than homesickness if he needs leave though I suppose McCarthy was pretty much the same situation

.. Doesn't actually tell us anything we don't already know.

Remember when Mitch Clark was the standard for homesick guys to get out of the club they didn't want to be at.....good times
Oh FFS.
Leaves you wondering if he was left out of the side last week for an "illness" or if there is something deeper going on.
Surely in circumstances like this the club would be better off to give a clearer indication of what the issues are? Stating "personal issues" is too vague & leaves things open to unfair speculation.

Not Sure is more serious , but I am not going to post my opinion to make it worse .
And if that is the case, then fair enough.
But if it is the case, why do the club not just say that? ie: has been granted indefinite leave to spend time with ill father.

Maybe because father is entitled to keep his health problems private if he has them? Harley's the player, not his dad.

"Glad to be with the old man" - suggests it's a family issue. Hope all is ok.
Relieved he didn't say "glad to be home with the old man"

No-one is asking for a detailed health report on his father. Just information that will quash the inevitable speculation that will arise from such a vague statement from the club.
God knows there are enough trolls around without giving them even more fodder?
Just a simple "father with health issues" would not be intrusive to the father & immediately stops speculation.

Personal issue is go enough .
Maybe its a family illness and Fremantle are sending a message to Jesse Hogan that "this is how a real club deals with these issues" after Jesse was only given a few days off to spend with his dying father.
That said, I am not privy to Jesse's situation, but just struck me as odd that whilst his old man was dying he was still in Melb playing footy until the last week or so. I wonder how much of that was pressure from Melbourne to stay vs Jesse wanting to keep busy.

equating the amount of likes someone has Is proportional to his dads health?
What a crazy world we live in at the moment
Glad I do t do social media, I reckon if I can go through life getting no likes at all i may live to a very old age?
Is that how it works?
