Welcome Jamarra Ugle-Hagan to the Western Bulldogs

Re: Welcome Jamarra Ugle-Hagan to the Western Bulldogs

I have concerns about JUH but it’s too early to tell. Especially given the impact of covid. I’ve got huge question marks over his competitiveness and physicality. He’s got talent no doubt but we all know at AFL level you need a lot more than that.

We’ve been fortunate enough to have rights to two top talents in successive years. But at the same time it’s come at an unfortunate time given none could show their stuff at u18 level. So a big gamble. But we had to take both. As nearly every pick is a gamble anyway due to covid.

It’s a genuine concern. Ayce Cordy also was the messiah but that never happened .

We freaked on Ayce. The Saints went early on him and we should have let him go. Would have been a lot of angst and aggro from the supporter base, but he wasn't top 20 and we knew it.

That's it we are kind of in a weird situation. Great side, that has the amazing ability to get two top 5 talents in successive years.

I love it.

I just have this nagging flip side about does this somehow hurt us if they're duds.

But that's the game for all picks - I'm just being anxious.

Darcy is going top 5 in pretty much everyone's phantom draft. It is what it is.

He's not a Naughton type defensive player that attacks the man he skirts the outside and looks for opportunities to break play. When I've watched him at Footscray his intent early is always very good and he works hard to chase. Later in the game this drops off as he tires.

I personally don't have any concerns about his defensive mindset.

We fully expected Ayce to be our first selection at that draft and planned for that to be the case.

Our player really do seem to enjoy the company of their team mates.

2020'S DRAFTEES RE-RANKED: Who bolts up the order, who slides?
Some players from the 2020 draft class shone this season, but others took a while to get going.

Link here

31. Jamarra Ugle-Hagan (Pick No.1, Western Bulldogs), 18.7 Rating Points, av 3.7ppg

Does that mean if JUH decided to move to another club our return would be a second round.
I would like to see this at the end of next year and hopefully JUH has a full pre season and a full year of football.
