Tennis & BBL over in under a week. Then what will sports writers write about…..

Marra better not consume any media because he’s made a rod for his own back. Which is about to get hotter.

[Jasper]

I know there were a lot of sites who were doing their best to chop down and comments or speculation about Marra.
That's all well and good if people are just throwing darts and highly emotional statements but this thread proves that it you set the standards and expectations early on members will respect that.
I'm glad WOOF let people thrash out their thoughts.

The reality as i see it is we JUH will need a revelation to turn around his fortunes. If I'm working at the club, I'm prioritising the trade value/return we can get. Most likely that Darcy (and his two brothers) will be the best players in the comp for the next 40 years, and in any potential trade we can get a couple of gun mids. Bite the bullet - we've been down this path before with Stringer, Dunks and Smith.

I’m all for getting in early but let’s just cool our jets. let the club do their thing. They know what is best for all party’s and I don’t think they would shaft JUM just for a trade pay day.

This is a hard one.
I think we all agree person first / commodity second.
Hopefully JUH can turn things around and this doesn’t snowball. Bevo and club will be putting there arms around d him. I feel for Naughts and Bont who would feel conflicted as good mates of Marra, but also leaders of the club.
I hope the club has a plan to build him into the season, say round 8-10. Take the pressure completely off him. He can hopefully then build some form towards the end of the season and demonstrate his commitment. Re-asses at the end of the year.
Good luck Marra, God bless.

I remember an interview a while back where Marra mentioned he didn't like footy and barely watched it.

He may just not have the motivation to be an AFL player.

I am over these drama / injury plagued pre-seasons. They seems to crop up with monotonous regularity.
if he went to Bali and didn't tell the Club, then that is very serious. Dropping him must have been discussed and that should have been made known to him.
Yet, here we are, nearly four months on and "he still has personal issues".

Why is that? Has enough effort been put in to helping him get his ducks in order?

He is a very talented player and we must do everything to guide him in the right direction.

[Eastdog]

I hope we get the right people around Marra to help him so he gets back to where the club wants him to be. He is a great talent and was really good last season.

Yep put the right support in place then it's down to Marra

Really hope the young fella can get the help he needs to get he’s life back on track

Some of the posts here are Trump-like. Just saying. No wonder I got off the site. Geez talk about eating your own. New level.

I think it's been pretty reasonable 1ED. I don't get the trade talk at all it's mind boggling to me but generally people have been pretty respectful I believe.
Love reading your stuff mate hope you can find your way back here at some stage.

The club can only do so much it really comes down to the player to get things in order. You can provide all the support you want but if the player is not taking that responsibility then it will be not affective.

[Mitcha]

I feel as though I have missed something here, what actually was seen or done by Marra on Brownlow night?

[ledge]

I don’t think it’s a club thing I think it’s more his love for the game has diminished.
if he decides to retire and move on that’s ok , let’s face it at 17or 18 you don’t actually know what you will be happy doing down the track. If he was to go to another club then that’s an issue.
