I don't get the motivation and the timing of this.

Because he's a ****en wanker.

Gets a lot wrong Sam McClure wouldn’t be reading too much into it.

No question, the club hosted him and a few others a couple of weeks back. If I see him there again he's copping some abuse

What conversation is there to be had? In terms of trade or more scuttlebutt?

Didn't like the article on fox footy tonight. Feels like we are dropping stuff in the media to send a message which would be better left in house

First night of the new Footy Classified. Needed some "exclusives" to boost ratings.

This was an easy kill for them. Rehash news already out there, and add another obvious layer that Jamarra needs to mend relationships in the club. Exclusive!!

Between Footy Classified and Fox AFL they've questioned the decision to play him in the EF and suggested that he won't be playing senior football until he repairs his relationships with Bont, Bevo and Lobb.

Lobb thrown in now? I wonder where they got that from? As for Bont, didn't he meet up with Marra on a regular basis in the last few months?

Don't make me click their web pages......lay it on us here.

I heard quite a bit of unsavoury stuff at the start of the week re: Marra & Lobb.
I wrote it off as rumour but seeing it in the media has me double guessing.

If it's the same rumor I heard than I 100% refuse to believe it. If the media got wind of it short of AFL House shutting it down, it would be front page news.
Nasty baseless bullshit.

The relationships Dogs star must mend to complete comeback

BySam McClure and Angus Delaney


Jamarra Ugle-Hagan has taken a significant step towards returning to football, but the Bulldogs want him to repair damaged relationships with some senior teammates and coaching staff before they consider him for selection.

Ugle-Hagan has not missed a session in almost three weeks and is turning heads at Whitten Oval with a changed attitude since the Dogs announced in January he had been granted permission to train away from the club while he dealt with personal issues.

The 22-year-old attended the Bulldogs season launch at the club on Monday night in a further sign that he is taking the right steps towards a return to football at some level.

However, two sources who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the situation, said Ugle-Hagan’s relationships with key figures at the club, including coach Luke Beveridge, captain Marcus Bontempelli and senior teammate Rory Lobb, needed to be repaired before he could play again at AFL level.

Ugle-Hagan lived with Lobb for several months late last year.

Approached for comment, the Bulldogs confirmed Ugle-Hagan needed to rebuild trust with some teammates and officials, and said he had returned to the club with renewed positivity and professionalism after last month’s Indigenous All-Stars match.

Beveridge has said internally that he won’t compromise selection integrity - and risk losing the trust of some of his other players - by bringing Ugle-Hagan back before he is ready. Bontempelli, who is famous at not just the Bulldogs but across the competition for taking time to help teammates in need, made a huge effort with Ugle-Hagan across the summer, training with him at a private gym in Hawthorn along with a personal trainer.

The captain, who now also finds himself on the sidelines with a calf injury, acted similarly with Bailey Smith last year when the midfielder was recovering from a knee reconstruction.

The sources said Bontempelli had been left frustrated by Ugle-Hagan’s attitude across the summer.

Lobb, too, went out of his way to help his teammate, opening his home to him and his fiancee.

The booming left-footer had only managed a handful of sessions with his AFL teammates since December as he dealt with a range of complex personal issues.

Is there a bigger grub in the AFL system?

So, the story is that Marra needs to regain the trust of teammates?

Shock.

Footy Classified will be dead in the water by July.

I'm sure as always with all this stuff the truth lies somewhere in the middle.

I have opinions on all this stuff but this forum isn't the place to discuss it. It's frustrating we can just never seem to rid ourselves of headlines around star players, be it controversy or players wanting out or both!
