Training 2025 Pre Season and Training Reports Thread

[Optimistic Dog]

i would not even try to speculate on his problems. However, trying to summarize the posts of the ITK''s. At best his season is compromised at worst he could retire.

 

[HELLSBELLS]

I come in peace

Was lucky enough to meet JUH with my 2 boys a year or so ago now and he was great with my boys even being Roos fans.
Asked their names and who they played for ect. Great young bloke.
Hope he get all the help he needs and is out playing footy asap.

Hard to work out whether or not the playing group did not want JUH doing pre season with them or the club thought best JUH stay away as this was best for him given what he was dealing with.

Seems we had no chance in the EF last year given what was happening with JUH playing.

If something happens with Marra and he leaves that’s a disaster, there’s no other way to put it. Its definitely different to Stringer, Smith etc.

I’d genuinely put an end to drafting anymore of Paul Conners clients. Everyone that we draft from that ******** leaves.

It’s far from a disaster as far as the clubs concerned. From a list management perspective it’s a win in my opinion.

We can afford to lose a tall forward, and with desperate needs in our midfield, this hands us some good draft currency.

There would be multiple clubs lining up to take Jamarra. I don’t think 2 first rounders is a stretched.

On a personal level, not a good situation for him. Hopefully it works out ok away from the club.

This is speculative bullshit at best and I won't have it!

No chance he goes for anything of value let alone 2 firsts

He’s worth what the market will pay.

Tigers, Pies, Geelong screaming for keys forwards. All would back themselves in to get him right.

If the demands there, so is his worth.

Saints allegedly had the 2 firsts on table and pulled out as soon as they did some digging for a reason

They'll all back themselves no doubt but for little to no trade value

 

[Cudi]

It sounds like the issues are not to do with the club at all and playing anywhere it would be the same, so talks about trades are probably a moot point.

Two top 10s are different to two first rounders. Either way his under contract and power has shown he doesn't trade high profile players under contract.

This is conflicting info to what BulldogMuscle has said.

Yes, there are some family issues as well. But they wouldn't stop him training.

 

[cleveland]

I’ve been open to discussing Jamarra’s abscene given it’s relevant to the current season but this crap is completely unwarranted.

Check yourself, disgraceful.

I have known for ages. Have kept to myself, but the media all know, so thought i would share.

 

[Smiley Boy]

This is conflicting info to what BulldogMuscle has said.

He’s right

 

[cleveland]

You’ve got a track record of popping up on this board whenever big news hits proclaiming that you knew all along or further adding inflammatory comments.

It doesn’t help anyone other than trying to big note yourself.

Popping up? Been here since 2005.

 

[Cudi]

He’s right

Which poster? haha

 

[Mojorisin]

He’s right

It may be factual but I don't think it's right, certainly not something I'd want to put out into a public forum.

 

[cleveland]

Yeah, i have deleted what i posted. I shouldn't be putting on a public forum, i apologise.

I pray, it all gets sorted and he gets back to footy.

I’ve been staying outta the Jamma stuff due to knowing certain things but respecting privacy.

The kid has some extreme external pressures from an incredibly complex off field (family) situation.

The club is doing its absolute best to support, to the point the AFL has told certain media personalities to just leave this one alone (this only works for so long), and this is why I’m now posting as the cat seems to be out of the bag with media.

As far as I’m told from several people closer to the situation, zero to do with (him doing) drugs. But I am lead to believe that it’s such a complex situation that, and I quote, “wouldn’t be surprised if he retired early and left the country for a prolonged period of time to escape”.

I won’t answer any follow up on this, that’s all I know. Hopefully the club puts out a solid statement so the media and fans leave him be.

If it's serious health problems like what the great TBoyd experienced, and the pressures that come with the game(internal or external) marra has to take care of his health.
End of the day, this is only a game.
I wish him all the best in what ever decision he makes.

 

[Bulldogs85]

I just Hope JUH is ok and he gets through this tough period in his life

 

[Sentinel]

Is there anything official or reported about Scott's knee injury?

Nothing yet.

It just doesn't work like that, if wants to leave he picks his team and they set the price not us. In general the landscape of paying up big time for a player before they are out of contract is gone, players will just wait until they are OOC so they team they can be certain the team they want to go to can get them.

What's the bet the wolves are already sniffing around looking for an easy (cheap) kill.

 

[St 07]

Lets hope he keeps himself in good nick (which seems like the case) and after a handful of games early season, he starts feeling very antsy about getting out there again

Ugle-Hagan’s short-term future clouded as he deals with personal issues

Western Bulldogs star Jamarra Ugle-Hagan has been absent from training for much of the pre-season, a situation the club describes as “flexible training arrangements” as he deals with personal issues.
