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: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
