Jamarra Ugle-Hagan

[The Underdog]

Shock horror Barret is blaming Bevo for driving out JUH.

That’s because Barrett is a ****

[GVGjr]

Bevo has said since the end of preseason that he has little to do with JUH, I think he lost faith a long time ago. It's just painful to have another promising young player potentially leave for a bag of chips.

It seems to me that a lot of supporters are looking at this in the wrong way.
Our first concern should be about the player recovering from whatever his challenges are.
While his social media posts are also painting a different picture we shouldn't be concerned about that either.
And finally, how we get compensated if he is to depart shouldn't be the primary focus.

A lot of supporters are invested in the JUH story and it will of course be a shame if he leaves us but if that does happen I hope he is happy and healthy,
The club will work out all the rest.

I'll admit to being imperfect here and being more invested in getting compensation from the AFL. Though I know we won't

This is Damo today. With everything happening with Marra, this is his take. This is on the official AFL site. What a disgrace.

IF ...


Josh Dunkley and Bailey Smith, and now Jamarra Ugle-Hagan, have had their own specific reasons to desperately get out of the Bulldogs ... THEN ...


there's still a common denominator. The out-of-contract coach might be overseeing a premiership chance if they were still there.

People need to take more responsibility for their behaviour G, I hope Marra is ok but if he ends up at Geelong I will spew up.

I'm sure supporters would be very willing to afford Jamarra all the sympathy in the world, if only they knew for sure what was going on. However, his SM posting belies suggestions of health issues. And the lack of information about the situation (that oddly, many seem to know about but most of us don't) is going to lead to fair and unfair judgements.

All for good clubs being good and attracting players like Geelong. However if we end up sacking Jamarra and he goes to Geelong for nothing and then stars it just isn't fair anymore. How can a competition allow a player to quit, get the kick up the backside, and then turn their career around at another club while the original club (us) gets nothing. I know that is hypothetical but if it does happen I will be fuming. Basically allows any player to quit their current club and join anyone they want...

Not the first and won’t be the last time it happens if it does… ultimately we need to make the best decision for the club at the time with the information we have. If the club decides to release him and he agrees, well, that’s that. What happens after shouldn’t be a factor. I know it sucks, but hey, this isn’t a good situation for anyone.

More to play out, but it seems increasingly likely Marra doesn’t play for us again.

How is it wrong?
I support the team not players individually, first concern is always the team. Of course you have concern for the individuals within the club but I couldn’t care less about them if they were elsewhere. It’s questionable whether he wants be at the club.

It’s kinda what happened with Liam Jones right?

[BornInDroopSt'54]

From the beginning this is about Jamarra and what he wants to do, The club and Bevo have exceeded their care of duty to him, Bevo says he has given Marra care from the get go.
We are always anxious when such a player may be lost. If Marra decides or has already decided to go, its out of our hands.
The club will represent our compensation case.
We don't want him nominating a club but if he does, that's AFL and we effectively get a lesser player or two.

Might actually be a good comparison. Carlton got compensated when he joined us and we missed on compensation for Cordy.

Jones was a special case. I can't see the same applying to Jamarra.

[Mat Lyons]

Dougie has his say on Jamarra and he doesn't mince his words. Personally, I hope we can continue to support Jamarra and he can turn it around still.

[Mat Lyons]

Do we agree with Dougie?
