Future Priority Access Thread (Inc. Father/Son, Academy Players)

Re: Future Priority Access Thread (Inc. Father/Son, Academy Players)

Kicked 4 but should have been 6 as he had team mates take the advantage for easy goals where JUH had the free (one from a chase down holding the ball). He's going to be a real handful for defenders.

Posting pro-Bulldogs stuff on his Instagram. 'Marra's on board!

The real beauty is as Schache & Naughton keep improving, taking the best two defenders, JUH with form to demand a spot can play out of a forward pocket on the third defender and work into his development. When Jarrad Grant had big forwards to take the defensive heat, those were the best years he played and was developing well (unfortunately he didn't kick on when he didn't have them).

I hope the club brings JUH & MacPherson into the club to witness from the sidelines the buzz coming out of our joint. Get them super excited about performing bigly next year for their inclusion into this exciting things called Bulldogs.

Scouting notes from the weekend, courtesy of draft central.

27 Ewan Macpherson

Is just a consistent performer in the back half, doing the defensive things well and working hard to become relevant when exiting the arc. Macpherson racked up a fair chunk of the ball in the first term as Northern played a more high-possession and slow defensive game, but had more important touches later on under heat. Is usually a sound short kick and has good awareness in knowing when to release, while also proving solid in mopping up one-on-one ground balls.


25 Jamarra Ugle-Hagan

It was another eye-catching display from the highlight reel forward, making the most of his few possessions to prove a menace up forward with four high quality goals. His hands overhead are so strong, helping him to hold onto a mark for his first goal in the square and another in the opening term. His highlight for the game came in the following quarter as the ball sat up perfectly for him to rise above two opponents and clunk a sensational mark inside 50, which led to a third goal. The Bulldogs NGA member has rare athleticism for a tall, making him such a difficult match up as he covers the ground well but also towers above defenders with his leap. His fourth goal was another beauty, stealing the ball inside 50 and propping before deciding to go for goal himself and slamming the ball home. Just does the mercurial every game and hardly misses a chance, unbelievable talent.

jeeeeesus. Pretty hard to keep the hype meter turned down with reports like this!!!

People are already calling him the next Buddy, but Buddy has never been strong overhead. This kid might even be better?!?!?!

Not doubt both JUH & Macca are joining next year. JUH clearly going before our first pick the challenge is to trade down our first rounder next year to get a good benefit (player or pick this year), and then get some mid picks for next year to cover the point loss. Use the points system to full effect.

Can you imagine if he was nominated at pick one and we got him with a bunch of OK to mid picks. They'd change the system by the end of the draft!

Nuh.

We need to highlight that he doesn't get much of the ball.

Surely only a third rounder with just single digit possessions.

Re: Future Priority Access Thread (Inc. Father/Son, Academy Players)

Draft Central 'Who Caught The Eye' this week:


Jamarra Ugle-Hagan
Key Forward | Oakleigh Chargers
4/04/2002 | 194cm | 79kg

Stats: 7 disposals, 4 marks, 2 tackles, 4 goals

Our scouts said: “Another eye-catching display from the highlight reel forward, making the most of his few possessions to prove a menace up forward with four high quality goals… has rare athleticism for a tall, making him such a difficult match up.” – Michael Alvaro

Verdict: Is just a special talent who seldom fails to deliver a few eye-catching moments. Hailed as the next ‘Buddy’, Ugle-Hagan’s high marking is arguably better than the Hawthorn/Sydney champion and he took a ripper in this game. Bulldogs will surely be made to pay a hefty price for their NGA product next year

Re: Future Priority Access Thread (Inc. Father/Son, Academy Players)

I'M HAPPY TO PAY. As long as we're first in the queue

Re: Future Priority Access Thread (Inc. Father/Son, Academy Players)

Unless he completely goes off the rails, it’s a given he’s a top 10 pick and probably much higher so I’m not fussed with the hype growing. Cats out of the bag. I am enjoying the fact that we are being linked wherever he gets mentioned, don’t know if locks him in any more but it can’t hurt.
