Re: Jamarra - How excited are YOU???
The "good kid" comment was outrageous. Love it.
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

Jamarra is a rare talent - still with lots to learn but Walsh we just a lucky big when our list desperately needed one
Regarding Walsh, the way it was described to me was that we really rated his marking which is why we selected him. Unfortunately it never translated into a senior football level skill and injuries also played it's part. I was also told that he was very diligent with his efforts. Marra has a lot more natural talent than Walsh so like you I don't quite get the comparison

He could be unlike any player we've ever had at our footy club.
A combination of The Bont, Chris Grant and EJ. Would be magnificent.

Re: Jamarra - How excited are YOU???
It's a joyful time, when a new player is starry-eyed, madly in love with the game, and absolutely everything is possible. We as fans can revel in his limitless potential. No injuries to worry about, no mean-spirited comments on social media, no disappointing frailties on show. I love the tweet showing him effortlessly flying for a speckie. Staying up there a bit longer, just because he can. May it always be like this for Marrah. May he always make his family, his community, and our club very proud.

Having Jamarra and Naughts in the forward line is going to be a nightmare for opposition coaches. The aerial capacity of both, combined with their mix of speed and agility has me very excited.

Can we fast-forward to the bit where he steps around a big name, Dangerfield will do, before dobbing his first goal from fifty then shooting Danger a sly wink?
Substitute danger for Sicily and I’m in.

Sold.
And while Sicily's still steaming Libba ruffles his hair for good measure.

Let's just hope we can get it in there with a bit of precision.

Sicily won't play next year (ACL).
Jeremy Cameron will do.

If only we had a decent group of midfielders...

That same group we had last year? I hope Treloar is an excellent kick.
I actually don't think the cattle is the problem. It's the methodology. Of both the forwards and mids.

The forward line was a bit shambolic at times during the year but we still did reasonably for marks inside 50m. I think if we get some continuity in our forward structure it will help us go to the next level, and we didn't have that for much of the year.
First and foremost we need to get the game on our terms in contested and open play out of defence and through the middle, and when we get it into our forward line hold our space and not compress it too much. Because we we fail at the latter that's when we look our worst in the forward line.
Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

Re: Jamarra - How excited are YOU???
Watched JUH's highlights. He is going to be a defender's nightmare.
I'm pinching myself. How are they going to stop a fully fit Aaron N. + JUH with Baily Smith putting it down their throats.
All the comp's defenders are in for some pain.

Re: Jamarra - How excited are YOU???
very excited now - the thought of two elite contested marks hungry for the footy in our forward line in mouth watering!
Time will tell of course
