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.

    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: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
