How Much Improvement is Left in Jamarra?
JUH had a pretty good season playing all 23 games. His stats ended up at 35 goals, 35 Behinds, averaging 5 marks a game and 11 disposals. I think if he could nail some of those 35 behinds he could easily be a 50 plus FF.
Some highlights for 2023

Re: How Much Improvement is Left in Jamarra?
Go back 12 months ago and he wasn't a good mark and this year his marking really improved.
If he can fix his concentration lapses with his goal kicking he can take a genuine step forward and potentially kick 45 goals plus.
How good can he become is a challenging question but it might all hinge on how hungry he becomes to be a premier player at the both the club and in the competition.

Curnow got 81 this year - Jamarra has that in him for sure.
Needs to sort out his long distance goal kicking routine as a priority. His leading patterns and marking were elite this year. Keep building fitness and strength.
Already started to dominate games this year.

Agree with others, needs to prioritise his set shot routine.

Re: How Much Improvement is Left in Jamarra?
His ground level work is nearly as big an issue as his goal kicking. How many times was he caught with the ball this year? He simply holds on to it too long, I think there is 2-3 easy coaching points that would help address this but he either isn’t being told or is ignoring it.

Apologies. I took this from the AFL Tables website https://afltables.com/afl/stats/play...gle-Hagan.html

At games if you squeeze your eyes together so everything is a bit blurry you could swear he's Kelvin Templeton.
If Marra's marking continues to improve and his goalkicking becomes as good as his technique suggests then he could become nearly as good as KT.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Some might call that faint praise but considering the source it's the highest praise imaginable

Re: How Much Improvement is Left in Jamarra?
His technique isn't going to be fixed with just concentration, I mean, sometimes he'll time them and he'll be OK. However, he has a technical flaw that sees him lean back and to the left at times that causes his follow through to swing to the right after going across the ball.
Fixable, and relatively easily.

Re: How Much Improvement is Left in Jamarra?
Marra's marking is exceptional, however his greatest improvement will come when those delivering the ball to him make sure that it is delivered to his advantage. Lead and mark should see his figures improve rapidly. No forward has ever relied on big marks (even John Coleman) to consistently kick large numbers of goals.

but first it will piss you off. ... Gloria Steinem.

Re: How Much Improvement is Left in Jamarra?
He could be a top 5 key forward as early as next year with natural progression and improved goal kicking technique. It won't just happen, and he needs to continue to challenge himself, but he has the ability to make another big jump.

Capper, Modra, N Riewoldt, KT.
But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

I've been waiting for Jeanette54 to step up and get some Nets time. Let's roll!
