The Fremantle Dockers are yet to discuss a return date with star forward Jesse Hogan, but the former Demon is making good progress according to SEN’s Sam Edmund.

Speaking on radio this morning, Edmund provided an update on Hogan, who has been on indefinite personal leave from the club since January 29 as he deals with mental health issues.

“Officially no change on the Fremantle spearhead, he’s still on indefinite leave from the Fremantle Dockers,” Edmund said.

“In fact, there has been no conversation I’m told between player and club.

“The club to their credit aren’t pushing it at all. They’re giving him the time and space however we’re told he’s made good progress on a personal front.”

Despite no official update on a return to training or playing, the word from the club informed Edmund that Hogan is on the right track.

“He’s actually ‘put the work in’ was the phrase used, he’s put the work in, he’s set the time aside and he’s focusing on getting back to a good place himself,” he said.

“The old saying (is), the scoreboard looks after itself. So if he can get himself right, the rest will take care of itself.”

The Dockers have been staunch in their approach to looking after the 25-year-old, regularly stating Hogan has the club’s full support with no pressure to return before he’s ready.

“We’re told he’s got that strong support network around him. It’s probably a good thing now that he has moved back there because he’s got the family around him, he’s got the friends around him as well,” Edmund said.

“Hopefully (it’s) not too long before we see Jesse Hogan back in training at least and then following on from that, playing.”

General Manager of Football Peter Bell has repeatedly said the club will take a cautious approach with Hogan, who is entering the second year of his three-year deal at the club.

“We believe it is the most appropriate course of action and, more importantly, it is what is best for Jesse’s long-term health and wellbeing,” Bell said.

“We will continue to provide all the necessary and ongoing care and support Jesse requires, as we would do for any of our players.”
