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.

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

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.

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

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.
