    Re: Jamarra - How excited are YOU???

    Very excited, but I am trying to keep a lid on it. Tom Boyd is a cautionary tale that lingers. I know that Tom was colossal when it mattered most, but he was supposed to be an unstoppable key forward etc.

    Fingers crossed.

        Reminds me of Schache - tall, skinny, highly skilled, nice guy - hopefully he has the strength and mongrel
        If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

            I'm not looking forward to Essendon coming after him in two years, like literally every Essendon fan reckons they will.

                They’d be silly not to. We have to hope that they remain a basket case (like I needed another reason to).

                    I'm super excited by the prospect of securing a very highly rated talent like JUH.
                    I know its all a highly speculative process, and a highly rated prospect doesn't automatically equate to a successful AFL career, however there is no denying for a the last two or so years we've been as supporters looking forward to securing Jamarra.
                    Up until earlier this year, I still had concerns the AFL would intercede and change the rules, so I didn't allow myself to get too invested. But as soon as it became clear he was going to remain ours to bid on, I've been all in.

                    If he goes at 1, there is a great deal of unique marketing leverage for us to make from this, and drive fan optimism and membership up. I hope we take full advantage of that if Adelaide do hand us this by bidding on him with pick 1

                        Shache never attacked the ball in the air like Marra, and Schache tested slow for acceleration. JUH has a 2.9s 20m, which is insane for a guy his height.

                            They couldn't get Dunkley across the line, I'm less worried now

                                What did Buddy test for in 20m?

                                It's the one asset which can really set Marra apart from the likes of Schache, McCartin, Boyd, Patton etc. who all struggled.

                                    Extra size is good. He’s been good in the air, but will need the strength too.

                                    Who was the last key forward we drafted in the first round? Tim Walsh?
                                    Jarred Grant was expected to become one when he filled out. I'm sure he will with just a bit more time.

                                        Scott Clayton is still holding out hope.

                                            The 'big boned' strong forwards do seem to struggle now - the skinnier athletic types seem to fare much better - the King twins and Naughton are the modern prototypes, the guys who are mobile and can really launch at the ball.

                                                Scott Clayton would be ready for that swim across Port Phillip Bay wouldn't he?
