Jamarra and the Points System Strategy

Re: Jamarra and the Points System Strategy

Thanks, fixed now

Thanks for sharing bad. I do find it interesting so many pundits have him as the best player in the draft unequivocally. Considering he's had no top age year and Mcdonald and Thilthorpe have had impact at senior state level it seems a little debatable that opinion.
Lets hope they're right! Clearly an amazing talent and boon for our club.

In my opinion he's being rated on potential and a perceived x-factor dimension he can bring to his game and while there is no doubt he's in the best 5 players in the draft I don't think he's the number 1 and maybe that is because he never got the chance to play this year

Tilthorpe might go at number 1 because he's the local boy and it makes a lot of sense for Adelaide to bring in a good news story after a couple of lean years. McDonald is the best player (in my opinion) and if he slips through to North they will be ecstatic
Swans will probably take Holland at 3 and the Hawks won't allow Ugle Hagan to slide any further.
We will match the points required (1,627 after the discount) with picks 26, 33 and 41 and Ugle-Hagan will officially be a Bulldog
The Hawks will probably then target Denver Grainger-Barras

Picks 42 and 54 will find us a couple of good youngsters.

Nice video on JUH here

Clicked on it twice. Both times it buffered, showed 10 seconds of footage, buffered again, showed 5 seconds of footage, buffered again. After watching it for nearly 10 minutes and restarting it once I got up to the bit where Rowell kicks the ball around his body from the 50 where it froze again at exactly the same point the first time I watched it.

If the AFL are going to bother with videos like this then they are going to have to try and get the experience past what it was like with dial up internet from the mid-80s.

You need to upgrade your dial up modem

Re: Jamarra and the Points System Strategy

I heard you can now get a cable modem and the feed comes down coaxial cable just like your TV signal.
I also hear its very fast unlike dial up.
No screeching noises either.

Anyone in mind?

Anyone in mind?

Quite a few

Jack Ginnavin, Ryan Angwin and Henry Walsh might be around the mark. Tyler Brockman has x-factor
Could Isiah Winder slide down the order? Same with Corey Durdin? I like Liam Kolar but maybe with our last pick

Thanks for that - will have to read up on them a bit more. Durdin sound a great fit for our needs.

I’m not at all close to the draft this year, but the couple of players I’m interested in who may be in our range are Eddie Ford and Tariek Newchurch (linked to Crows, I know). We need another genuine medium forward and fast, crumbing forward and these guys could fit that need.

James Rowe. Just draft him don’t overthink it.

A very good recommendation. You're right, there will be a few that overthink it

The extraordinary talent of Western Bulldogs NGA prospect Jamarra Ugle-Hagan

Bevo must be getting excited

Jamarra Ugle-Hagan is so versatile he could easily play wing or as an intercept defender for the Western Bulldogs next year, according to his NAB League coach Leigh Clarke.

The indigenous teen from near Warrnambool will be taken by the Dogs as an exciting 194cm key-position forward who is certain to make an early impact given his athletic gifts.

Clarke was in charge when he won a premiership with the Oakleigh Chargers last year and believes the year off due to the COVID-19 pandemic will give his body a rest after a busy junior career.

He’s the 194cm forward being compared to Lance Franklin but Jamarra Ugle-Hagan could be much more than that according to his NAB League coach.

Clarke, who has moved to the Northern Knights for 2021 as the club’s new senior coach, told Bulldogs fans to buckle up and enjoy the ride for a kid who, for all his humility, is aware of his footballing talent.

“This has been good for his body. A chance to grow without the stress of footy. He has got through the football program the Dogs have given him and it can only benefit him in terms of his longevity. I know he has put some weight on, he has trained with his dad Aaron back home in Warrnambool, and I would be very excited as a fan,” he said.

“He is a bit lighter than the King boys (Ben and Max) so they have him for size but he has them for athleticism. He has the potential to be a midfielder too and we were going to play him there this year to see what it looked like. If you watch him play basketball he’s as good as anyone and he’s nearly two metres, so I wouldn’t be surprised if the Bulldogs pushed him to a wing. His testing at the combine was so strong so they could put him on a wing and his contested marking means he would be useful down back as well.

“So the Bulldogs will be patient but you also need to sell memberships, so you don’t tend to play your No. 1 pick in the VFL. That’s why you pick a player at No. 1, they are ready to play.”

They didn't mention putting him in the ruck

Re: Jamarra and the Points System Strategy

Jamarra is getting the lazy comps to Buddy but he actually reminds me heaps of Joe Daniher. Who really cares either way though right?
