Jamarra Ugle-Hagan

[ledge]

Marra, for heaven's sake, stand up and make a decision about your future. It's all been about Marra, his needs and what he wants.
Time to act Marra.

Problem is he keeps standing up and talking about his future playing AFL but his actions tell you the opposite.

Every year we're talking about some kind of drama, be it unrest within the playing group or coaches, while every year Geelong make Prelims.

It's tiring being so invested in this club.

Yeh he have been unlucky with some of our individuals. Pick 17 for smith is such a killer but we we could do nothing else in such a broken system where the player picks where he wants to go. Looks like ugle-hagan is done too (which im happy with) but we obviously get no compensation for him to make up all the resources and money that went into him. I find it off putting as well when we aren't in finals but to think there are a lot of clubs even worse then us is kind of depressing. Hard to crack these elite teams. Tough sport.

It sucks and honestly I don’t believe the club could have done anything different with Smith & Marra, it just is what it is. Dunkley maybe. On the other hand weve been absolutely blessed to watch one of the literal GOATs (When it’s all said and done) call our club home for his whole career and overlapping with someone whose got just as much upside in Darcy.

Swings and roundabouts. Marra won’t hurt us onfield and I’m quietly confident in a few years time we might be just fine with the Hynes/Smith trade. It may not be completely fair but I think he’ll go a long way to making us not really care about it.

Smith and Macrae for Kennedy and Hynes. If Hynes works out we are way ahead.

Don’t forget Daniel for Dolan. Only club last year to have 3 picks in the Top 30 (admittedly 20-30 range).

Just FA does not get chan fed before next season. Knowing our luck, it will change before Butters!

Here’s hoping.

PS. Poor Chan, (s)he/they/them are sure gonna be hungry, still waiting for his Bread and Butters.

My wish list this trade period is we get in a 3 or 4 way trade with other clubs. JUH going to someone else and they get deals done to satisfy both Port and us to get Butters to the kennel. The rest won’t matter as we have plenty of upside in the younger kids that will come on next year

I can't see anyone trading for Ugle-Hagan, the can't take the risk.
If he is paid out or sacked he will probably get offers to join a couple clubs for SSP window so they can have a good look at him before adding him to the senior list.

It will be totally and utterly wrong if we pay out JUH and then another club can sign him up for 2026.

Surely there has to be conditions attached to any sacking or payout that he is unable to play in 2026 or we are refunded the payout money and it is not apart of our salary cap in 2026.

Bobby Hill interesting at Pies. Straight swap for JUH!?

[Grantysghost]

Problem with anyone trading for him is the contract.

Who's going to pay 800k for him? No one.

Only way I see it working is if we take on part of the contract along with maybe the AFL. But then, how does that work with salary cap ?

It's a mess.

Bobby Hill's issue is his family - wife has gone back to WA with the kids. If anything he will play in Perth next year.

What about Butters for JUH.

He should be made to stand out for a season and that might be a genuine chance.
The AFL will obviously do what it can to get him back into footy asap but we do hold the cards from a contract perspective.
