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. 

"Why are we not in the conversation for JUH?"

And who says we are not?   Does every club have to come out and give a press release whenever they are looking at an opposition player?

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?

1M is the new 800k

Estimated that there will be 60 players on $1M a year by the end of 2024

    Can mark, can't kick

    i always though he was a great pack mark. when did he forget how to mark?

    I really like JUH as a player and think he will be a star, just don’t think he’s right for us.

    We would get more benefit from a bigger body who has a bigger presence with pack marking ala McKay, Larkey, Lewis

    Whatever you nitpickers about JUH and his marking or kicking he had had only 3 seasons in the AFL. 

    Contrary to opinion he is ahead of Rooi at this stage in development. But is a year ahead in playing AFL. 

    He is a very skilled player and a very strong mark on occasions. 

    For anyone in D/L to say he is not the sort of player Melb needs to have now is completely out of touch with building a premiership list. Who would he replace on our forward line NOW?

    Only Petty and Fritta and JVR are a like for like but KUH could play any where like Fritta. Be handy on a flank I reckon. Yes his kicking is not as reliable as say JVR or Petts but like all good/ great players ( Trac ) not all are the finished product in all skills. 

    Naughton is very iffy also kicking for goal but again you wouldn’t say no. 

    Go after him Dees and throw the book at him. Far too good to not chase.

    Why stop at JUH? How about Daicos (1 or 2) ... and Cameron/s (Jeremy/Charlie) ...and the 2 big boys from Carlton?

    I’ll take him for 10 years at $1 million a year then, haha 

     

    Perfect fit for us - Demonland, I mean....

    He'd be our new 'soft as butter' 10,000 page, 100,000 post, 10 year punching bag

    Can't wait!

    Marking isn't an issue, can't kick straight. Would be a good intercept defender.

    sorry. misread your initial post

    I though McKay was the most unreliable kick in the league but he's slotting them well this year so far. so there's hope for Naughton as well

    No but his management are the ones that are most likely to release the story to the media. 

    If Petty ends up in Adelaide colours I'd happily take JUH. He's already a good player and could break out big time this year.

    Yep to half time today he looks the the prototype centre half forward. Very sticky hands. 

    Would pay whatever is asked to get him in

    His new contract is likely to surpass that of Franklins, needs to justify it.

    The comparisons to Buddy is bordering insane.

    Not Naughton , hardly saw him today. Could replace Brown when he retires 

     

    He's a freak, we're lucky he can't kick the thing....or if he ever becomes a dee, we're unlucky he can't kick the thing...

    Marked well. Kicking off. He’s a very good no 2. Don’t think he has the height for a kpf1 role

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?
