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.

    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: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
