    Did you listen to the segment where Bob and Andy spoke about/responded to the report?

    I did and thought Bob could have done a lot more to address/squash it simply by referring to the conversation he had with Marra on the Dogs podcast. He didn't do that and actually gave it some legs by accepting the report 'at face value'.

    Well, how about we just take the kid on face value and that being he knows what Bevo expects and is on board with it.

    Tough fwd line to break into at the moment. His time will come and let’s just hope the longer it takes for that moment to arrive, the better prepared he is for it. We all want him to be the player he’s touted to be.

    ... or the fact he's hungry to make and impact and wants to play against the best as soon as he can?

    I'm not even sure Marra being hungry to play in the senior team is a bad thing. He's got drive. Good.

    “A SNOWFLAKE'S CHANCE IN HELL”: UGLE-HAGAN IS GOING NOWHERE

    Garry Lyon believes the Western Bulldogs will pay little heed to rumours swirling around first-year forward Jamarra Ugle-Hagan.

    It was reported by Sam Edmund on Thursday that clubs are enquiring after the 19-year-old, who is yet to debut after he was selected at No. 1 in the 2020 national draft.

    “This is only my opinion, but there is a snowflake’s chance in hell they would entertain any offer for Jamarra Ugle-Hagan,” Lyon told SEN Breakfast.

    Deprived of his draft year, the key forward arrived at Whitten Oval with a low fitness base, and anti-density rules at reserve level have limited his capacity to build it.

    He has watched on as Josh Bruce and Aaron Naughton have kicked 63 goals between them to sit third and equal-sixth in the Coleman Medal race, respectively.

    Ugle-Hagan was named as an emergency for three consecutive games from Rounds 6-8, indicating he was inching closer to a senior appearance, but a concussion and the Melbourne lockdown have set him back.

    Tim Watson says he can empathise with the top selection’s frustrations, given young key position players are thriving in other environments.

    Crows forward Riley Thilthorpe has kicked 13 goals in seven games, the Swans’ Logan McDonald has impressed next to Lance Franklin, while Essendon’s Nik Cox was the Round 12 Rising Star nominee, flourishing as a tall on the wing.

    “You’re watching your other mates making their debut at other AFL clubs, and you’re still not getting picked,” Watson explained.

    "I can understand the kid is impatient and thinking, ‘what about me?’

    “Maybe he can’t see it exactly as it is from the Bulldogs’ perspective right now. Hopefully he’s getting the right advice.”

    Lyon emphasised his appreciation for the Dogs’ careful approach to their blue-chip selection.

    “Great clubs, which the Western Bulldogs are, manage this, and they’ll manage it beautifully. Luke Beveridge is a great person,” he enthused.

    “If I were the Western Bulldogs, I would hope he’s not happy. I would hope he’s banging down the door saying ‘why aren’t I playing, get me in there’.

    “(And that) he sits and listens and understands why he’s not, and continues to push hard.”

    The Dogs will have a rest this weekend, before a trip down the highway to defend their top two position from an ascendant Geelong.

    They have not won at Kardinia Park since 2003, when Ugle-Hagan was just one year old.

    Re: Jamarra - How excited are YOU???

    What a crock of a story!

    We get the following from players:
    He wants to leave to play in a successful team.
    He wants to leave because the team is too successful.
    He wants to leave because of the horrendous culture.
    He wants to leave because he cant break into the leadership group.
    He wants to leave because the medicos cant get his body right.
    He wants to leave because hes never felt better in years and isnt getting an opportunity.

    Now we can add:
    He wants to leave because he is a first year player and isn't in the best 22?

    Excuse me while i go take 2 and have a lay down.

    Exactly how I thought DG. Jamarra said on Barkley street podcast that he is staying at the Fevolas. Bob quickly went to another question.

    Jamarra grew up being a very keen Bummer supporter. There is nothing in it I'm sure.

    I don't listen to that program. However I have heard enough of Bob's media career to date to make my own personal judgement on it. From my perspective, he is a terrible media performer. He is also deeply underwhelming as a footy analyst. Just an observation, but SEN seems like a poor fit for him - his oeuvre screams the ABC, where his contrived and manufactured style would fit like a hand in glove.
