How Much Improvement is Left in Jamarra?

[1eyedog]

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

Jeanette will castle me inside the first over.

Surely he?s only getting started.

His first season was ruined by Covid with not much VFL wasn?t it?

He?s shown steady improvement throughout his time with us and he is still yet to be physically a finished product.

Lots of key fwds struggle early but I?d say he?s been a contributor when he?s played, and was a key target this year. If he can keep putting in the work he?ll tear 2024 apart.

Improving his motor and goal kicking and he’ll be able to dominate most defensive groups, particularly where he’s able to play on a second or third defender. It’s hard to put a number on his goals, it will depend on how we structure our forward line by I’d expect he should be 40+next year.

Question Time:

1. How many years should Marra ask for?
2. How many years should the club give him to stay?

That's a hard one to answer BT. I suspect he should ask for a shorter deal that takes him to the FA window and we should work with him on that if is what he wants. Other than that it could be an 8 year deal.
Can you imagine if he improves in 2024 like he did this year what he might be capable of?

He was my priority over Naughton. I think he’s every bit the Pick 1 we’ve always wanted, when his goal kicking tightens back up.

I think he probably asks to go to his FA year. But with AN 8 years, I wouldn’t begrudge him for asking for the same. Depending on the dollars, I’d probably do it too. I think he’s going to be written in our history books very favourably.

But does the club want a bunch of 5-8 year deals on the books? But the club has also shown the players it will do it if there’s competition for your signature. Interesting times.

Long term deals have advantages . The Salary isn’t much by the time they reach 8 years or even 4 years . Of course it might be front or back loaded. It also depends where your list is at .
Front load if you have a lot of players in the draft wage.
Back load if a lot are retiring by then. Or it might just be the same every year with the PA agreement of adjustments each year. A lot of players held out for that agreement.

A contract taking him to free agency would be 4 years if my calculations are correct. If that's what he and his agent wanted I suspect the club couldn't sign quick enough.

I spoke to Marra last night. He said if Naughton's getting 8, he should get 9!

Feels he's the next most likely of the 4 to stay, then English and lastly Smith.

Might be different once he's close to free agency

I get the feeling Tim will try to get every cent out of us or leave, which is his right. I’m not sure what we will do if it’s a stupid bid to match and if the compo pick is worth it, or if matching it and trading it is better.

Honestly, if Pick 3 ever got offered for Smith we should take it and run.

[Bigdog]

Still has a fair way to go with his tank and defensively.

Also I’d like him to add a second string to his bow and play a burst mid role every now and again.

1. Marra should ask for 2 years (maybe 3);
2, We should go for 7.
