Why are we not in the conversation for JUH?

Hawks, Pies, Tigers, Dons and Swans all circling. Why the heck aren't we throwing the kitchen sink in the ring. Petty is likely to leave. TMac and BBB on the brink of retirement. Gus forced out of the game. We will have plenty of room in the cap.

Go out and get Jamarra Ugle-Hagan!!!

    The club needs to come out and clearly state it's intentions to the media on JUH before it's too late and we miss our chance to be in a news article.

    Would be extremely disappointed if we weren't going hard for him. 

    Does he like it plonked on top of his head 25 times per game?

    I think this bloke could be a bust, if given a long term big money guaranteed contract.

    I wouldn't mortgage the club for him.

    Every club will enquire. Its Round 1, much to go under the bridge before JUH signs anywhere. I think it's 50 50 him leaving simply because of the size of the offers that are going to come. Tiges are unlikely to be attractive, nor are Hawthorn or the Dons. I'd say if Sydney go hard he'll go there, after that we're as good a chance as any.

    Let the media circus begin...

    FWIW We do have a potentially more budget-friendly player in a similar mold in the making. One that so far is a hell of a lot more efficient in front of goal.

    2023

    Jamara - 35.35 (23 games)

    JVR - 28.9 (20 games)

    Now of course Jamara has been able to perform better by being released further up the field, terrific marking as a lead up forward creating lots of inside 50's etc. But JVR is a better and more willing tackler and performs well in the ruck so far.

    What a dream it would be to have both!

    First: Merge thread. I think there's be three of this exact thread already! :D

    Second: JVR is better than JUH.

    Third: Wouldn't mind having them both because I think they'd complement each other very well, but it would be awkward that to get him we would have to pay Ugle-Hagen double.

    Fourth: Ugle-Hagan isn't the player our structure needs most urgently.

    I remember Kelvin Templeton coming across to Melbourne as a champion full forward.

    I still have PTSD (Post Templeton Stress Disorder) about that.  At least JUH still has two intact knees.

    I hope the recruiting department is monitoring 'Land - cos there's no way they would have conceived of this brilliant and cunning plan.

    I think his goals per game average at Melbourne were pretty similar to his career average. Just got him banged-up. When going, easily in the best 10 footballers I've seen play the game.

    What happens if JUH is kept scoreless against us ? Are people still going to say let's get him .

    If you wanna bring that kinda rational thinking to 'Land @COOLX, you better think again.

    It will be a fun year for Doggy supporters with both English and JUH up for new contracts.

    Eagles will throw the farm at English

    Just now, leave it to deever said:

    How long is Hogan contracted for?

    Re-signed at end of 2022 for 23 and 24.

    Fox reports that GWS are now offering him a 2 year extension

    Who then Goffy ?

    jezza Cameron OK?

    The encumbent club has one big advantage in signing an existing player in their final contract year but it devalues as each week passes.

    Injury !!

    Do you take the 7 x $1M deal now or wait until season's end for the 6 x $1.25M but risk getting far less if you do an ACL.

    Raises the question of whether players should be able to sign with new clubs during the season as happens in NRL

    As Doja Cat says - get in to it Juh

    Contrary to the media reports I am sure that we are looking at JUH and have made enquiries.

    I’m wondering how high and long Landers’ would be prepared to go?

    5 years, $1.25 million a year?

    10 years, $1 million+ a year?

     

    What figures would be the top end you’d be happy to go?

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
