Injury update 10 days ago (9th July), Weber stated, and I quote verbatum:

"Jesse has returned to run, at this stage he will be KPI progressing on how the foot pulls up - and [he] is doing very well."

At around 55 second mark:



Cheers, I knew I'd seen it mentioned somewhere but couldn't remember if it was just chinese whispers in an article by some journo somewhere or something more concrete.
 
Just Dixon, and he is probably too slow to play forward
No. He’s being played at half back. Heh.
Tabs going down hurted us more then anyone wants to believe. Foil for McCarthy and Hogan.
Whatever happened to his freaking injury timeline? That’s another one that the strength and conditioning team stuffed up

We are starting to become a laughing stock our injury management is deplorable , The reason Ross has the cobblers doing the cobbling is most of our injuries are to the foot.
 
Others have clarified, but for those asking about Hogan and his return to training, confirm he would have run for a good hour at training on Thursday last week. He and Cox basically ran sets of steady run throughs for the duration of training. Diabolical...

I assume you're stating this as an eye witness. If so, and just out of interest, how did he look?
 
There's quite a few navicular breaks that don't get detected and diagnosed. Not odd to find someone reporting pain in one foot to have no symptoms in the other but the scan shows an issue there too.

I'll add that the players don't always help themselves in these circumstances. These guys are desperate to play and they ignore warning signs from their bodies all the time and 'under report' issues whether by instinct or intention which doesn't help with diagnosis. Not saying this is necessarily the case here, but it does happen.

That said, Hogan has a history and you treat anything vaguely resembling the navicular issue with extreme even excessive care in his case.
 
If I hear Peter Bell talk about wrapping his arms around another player at the club I am going to wrap my fingers around his throat. Get a new line, get angry and fix it Bell.

It seems that all the bigger players are having stress/overuse related injuries in their lower legs. Lobb, Taberner, Pearce, Hogan, Kersten and Meek are examples of this.
Rather than bull shi## the members, the club need to explain how they are managing this. Eg modified training, regular scans etc.
 
Nobody is melting over his output, we are melting that there is a good chance his career is effectively over.
But given his issues when he came that is hardly a surprise. Cancer, a season out with a back injury, a navicular injury (from which a large proportion never return), welfare issues....
This was front and centre, not some sneaky little risk that came from nowhere

I know and i wasn't happy at trade time either because this was so predictable. Add in the anxiety which we didnt know about and this is next level stupid by the club.
 
I don't know if anyone else can support this but a family member who lives in Melbourne, was listening to the live radio broadcast of the Melbourne v Fremantle game when Hogan hurt his foot.

They said that the boundary rider was reporting that Hogan repeatedly mentioned to our medical staff that his foot injury was really bad, but they kept disagreeing with him, suggesting it was only minor and he needed to run it out.
 
I don’t understand how our medical team with the terrible track record they have have survived this long at a so called professional AFL club. Firstly, Stephen Hill. Why did they bulk him up so much. His body clearly can’t handle the load at the size he is, it’s just soft tissue after soft tissue. He should be the same size as his brother. Not to mention the awful management of him, constantly bringing him back early and causing reoccurrences. It’s crossing the line from incompetence to negligence. Sending Hogan back to training, without realising the extent of the injury? Are you ****ing kidding me? I’d be willing to believe the Bennell stuff was all just bad luck if our medical team weren’t so damn incompetent. That is just scratching the surface as well considering our injury woes over the years.

I know this isn’t the melt thread but **** it. There needs to be a mass clear out of staff at the end of this year and the medicos should be the first to go.

On the ABC broadcast the boundary rider actually said that he went back on. But one of our mods who’s a full bottle on everything said that he didn’t.

It could only happen at two clubs. Saints and us.
 
Naughton could always play forward. You never wanted Houghton under any circumstance. Prefered east coast mids. Gave me a hard time for months when I declared the kid was a future champ even though you hadn't seen him play.. He was under the Fremantle recruiters nose for years. Its another recruiting disaster by this club. Fremantle don't recruit WA KPP,s. McGovern and now Naughton makes me sick to my stomach.
don't forget Darling

My mate said the same thing yesterday, that line has been trotted out ad nauseam.

Also, are we sure Bell is any good? He has made a lot of media blunders since taking the job on.
