Toast Jamarra Ugle-Hagan - Welcome to the club

[VitalDread]

Had tears of joy when his named was called out

This will open up so many pathways to improve our club

 

[Bulldogs Legend]

A salty Swans fan just called the dogs a group of tin rattlers getting hand outs in response to us getting JUH.

I think he needs to remember why his club is based in Sydney.

Tin rattlers what an old cliche

As I told a bomber idiot on Twitter it’s not the sound of a tin rattling it’s the empty void in their head.

a club with our recent financials is not rattling tins

 

[Bulldogs Legend]

Congrats guys! As if Bont's jeans were gonna be worn by a pick 2.

[Bulldogs Legend]

Look forward to seeing him but PLEASE don't talk the poor guy up as being the second coming before he's even played a game....

Yeah nah

Just a "keep the bastards honest" pick. We'd have done it if it was another team.

I agree

Clubs should pick players where they rate them

 

[Bulldogs Legend]

Marra - you f#@cking beauty !
So exciting with English, Naughts, Smith and now Marra as our elite young talent. Hope we can keep them all.

By winning

 

[Bulldogs Legend]

Bastards

Don’t worry we will get him in two years when the pies need to re sign Degoey again

 

[Dogs_R_Us]

I seem to be alone here but I think Adelaide bidding on JUH is a compliment and acknowledgement of the quality of our young man. He deserves to be the number one pick and receive the rewards that go with it. They knew we could and would match the bid so they helped him achieve the coveted number one.

I also think they are quite content with Thilthorpe as their “number one” and so should their fans be.

 

[Bulldogs Legend]

Buddy with a superior mark, what’s he kicking over his career 1400?

1400 don’t be stupid that’s crazy talk

2500 and you are in the neighbourhood

 

[dogwatch]

He is and will be a better mark then buddy, he could play Wing or eventually mid and or backline player and will still be a better mark, did I say goals or marks he will be better at then Buddy?,

From reports on Jamarra, Buddy's a much better kick. Although Buddy did once kick 2.11 against us.

 

[who_let_the_dogs_out]

Jumper number confirmation?

 

[Fossie 32]

Who will we pick here!

Welcome Cody Brand whoohoo!!
Dohh! Essendope pinched him.
But we got pick 54 back!!
Dohh!! the purple pinched pick 54 - and 'Western'

Welcome Dominic Bedendo, General Forward

Welcome

 

[who_let_the_dogs_out]

Thanks for all the hype and media coverage Adelaide! Our sponsors must be loving it.

Dumbest move ever from Adelaide. Just bizarre.

They made us use up all our picks so we couldn’t take anyone else that Adelaide wanted. And here’s me thinking they did it out of respect for JUH ☺

I can only think that Tilthorpe must be a very timid kid who didn't want the spotlight himself - in which case he has no place being anywhere near the top 3.
He may end up being a solid player but he is never going to be a star if that is his demeanor.
Seems like Adelaide went the safe option because they too are timid and are scared of players wanting out in 2 years time.
I can understand staying local later in the draft, but Tilthorpe over McDonald has all the hallmarks of Watts over Naitinui.

It was funny watching the 2 highlights packages. Thilthorpe can hardly jump!

 

[Dazb86]

Exciting times. Hopefully he comes on pretty quickly. Naughton and Ugle-Hagan is a worry for future opposition defences.

 

[gordo2016]

JUH want to be a role model for indigenous youth. Seems very mature for his age and knows what he wants out of life. Had great teachers at school I reckon. Maybe he will thrive on being the no 1 pick and the all the attention on him wont worry him and will just make him more determined to succeed. You can see how much his family and community means to him. His old man is so proud he is nearly crying everytime he talks about his son. Really looking forward to the young man blossom, great time to be a Dogs supporter!

Could be hugely transformative for our club if we play this right.
