Welcome to the Western Bulldogs Jamarra Ugle-Hagan, you're the number one pick of the 2020 draft

I'm so surprised the Crows decided to do that but hey we have had it confirmed he's the number 1 player of the draft

Re: Welcome Jamarra Ugle-Hagan to the Western Bulldogs
Seems a ripping kid. Great to have him.

Re: Welcome Jamarra Ugle-Hagan to the Western Bulldogs
seems like a stupid thing to do by the crows. But I honestly couldn't give a .&^%$#@. So looking forward to watching Marra play.

Takes the pressure & focus off Thilthorpe (and the decision to draft him)

Re: Welcome Jamarra Ugle-Hagan to the Western Bulldogs
Absolutley freakin sensational. Go Jamarra Go Dogs

Re: Welcome Jamarra Ugle-Hagan to the Western Bulldogs
Gee it is so great to get the number 1 pick without finishing on the bottom :D

Re: Welcome Jamarra Ugle-Hagan to the Western Bulldogs
Marra! Welcome to the club to the 14 second boy.
Great news. Play finals and get a generational talent #1 draft pick.
Tops off a pretty good month for the club. The only thing that can make it better is if we get Ewan (super) MacPherson as a F/A.

Re: Welcome Jamarra Ugle-Hagan to the Western Bulldogs
How awesome. Just before they scrap the whole system, we sneak in Jamarra. How often are we on the right, or lucky side of things. It all changed in 2016.

Re: Welcome Jamarra Ugle-Hagan to the Western Bulldogs
Great stuff, welcome aboard young man and may you enjoy long and illustrious career in the red,white and blue.
PS: Condolences on being the 2021 Rising Star runner-up.:D

Re: Welcome Jamarra Ugle-Hagan to the Western Bulldogs
Thank you Crows.
As much as I'd love to have kept a pick or two in the 3rd round, I'm psyched we've got the best player in the draft and he seems the type to relish and not get overwhelmed with the hype.
Think Adelaide have missed a trick, and not convinced Thilthorpe or Pedlar are the best use of their first two picks. Wonder how their fans are feeling?
-
Re: Welcome Jamarra Ugle-Hagan to the Western Bulldogs
Thank you crows for confirming that you didn't get the best player available in the draft!! Smart marketing? We positioned ourselves well for this and boom we have the lime light.
Welcome JUH, so happy to have you onboard!!

Re: Welcome Jamarra Ugle-Hagan to the Western Bulldogs
Very exciting for the club - prospects don’t come too much more exciting than Marra

Replacing Mercedes Benz as a Sponsor would help too.

Re: Welcome Jamarra Ugle-Hagan to the Western Bulldogs
I’m keen to get back to going to the footy next year! A real exciting year ahead. Cmon Dogs!
-
Re: Welcome Jamarra Ugle-Hagan to the Western Bulldogs
This is just the best news. Plus having Hannan back where he belongs means the signs are very good. I see Hannan as a excellent replacement for Dickson. He is a smart footballer who knows how to kick a goal.
-
Re: Welcome Jamarra Ugle-Hagan to the Western Bulldogs
Time to give him that 5 year extension to his FA window. I'm nervous already. He's possibly the safest ever bet we've had at the draft.
-
Re: Welcome Jamarra Ugle-Hagan to the Western Bulldogs
Awesome.
Let's milk every ounce of publicity and $$ out of this!
Welcome Marra!

Re: Welcome Jamarra Ugle-Hagan to the Western Bulldogs
Joins a long list of great footy players from West Victoria. Jono Brown, Liam Picken, Adam Goodes, Roughy, and others. Welcome to the club Jamarra.
-
Re: Welcome Jamarra Ugle-Hagan to the Western Bulldogs
It's sinking in a bit now, actually knowing this kid is ours is the business.
He moves so well, can't wait to see him in action. The Buddy comparisons would be fair, if Buddy could mark overhead! :)
-
Re: Welcome Jamarra Ugle-Hagan to the Western Bulldogs
It’s probably not in his highlights, but watching his games last year he not only loves to tackles, he’s good a good technique and he loves to hurt anyone silly enough to be holding a ball within his closing speed. This will hopefully add to holding the ball forward more often and/or pressure to force turnovers. That’s also something I assume we are still missing that is a great ‘bonus’ to everything else he offers.

Our two best pressure forwards could be two of our three tallest forwards, given defenders fill their pantaloons any time Naughton is roaming and in a bit of a mood.

Re: Welcome Jamarra Ugle-Hagan to the Western Bulldogs
I was staggered to learn Jamarra is only the second ever indigenous Number 1. I thought there was more than just Des Headland, without thinking too much about it. Breaking down another barrier tonight as the first indigenous player to go at Pick 1 in 22 years, on top of second only ever. I’m glad our club is one of just 2 clubs to ever do it.

Yep. Hopefully Weightman & Vandermeer (both sub 3 seconds over 20m) can start to fill out a more aggressive pressure forward group up front.

Yeah, Vander putting pressure on the outlet in particular - as I think our defence really breaks down on that second line when teams are moving it out of our forward line. I like him playing high and running at the defenders, occasionally burning into space to get ahead of the footy for a score.

Heard the Crows will flick him $10k under the table. Plays like Tippett. Gets paid like Tippett.

Re: Welcome Jamarra Ugle-Hagan to the Western Bulldogs
Some good interviews up on our website.
Seems like a really good character and infectious. Can't wait to see his development!
