Toast Jamarra Ugle-Hagan - Welcome to the club

[True Dog]

So he's apparently still suffering concussion symptoms and won't be selected for the VFL this week.

Is this for real?

 

[gimp!]

Is this for real?

Twelve day concussion protocol.

 

[Bald]

Is this for real?

No. The VFL game would be the 12th day. He was concussed on the 9th and the next VFL game is on the 21st so he is forced to sit out. No mention of ongoing symptoms so not sure where the OP got that garbage from.

 

[doggies ftw]

* sake that’s frustrating, obviously his health is more important but let’s be honest if the game was one day later It wouldn’t make a difference to his recovery and he’d play

Nope. Tigers had a player cleared to play on their 12th day. We are just more conservative as a club.

Yes also given it happen around 12.30pm on the Sunday and this game is at 7.30 pm on Friday the 12 days measured in hours ends at 12,29 on Friday.

Hopefully he can use the time to build up his endurance to AFL level. He could kick another 5 in the VFL this week but I think he’s still got work to do.

And I have no problem with that when it comes to concussion.

 

[Pugz89]

No qualms from me either. Was more just correcting the statement that you can't play on the 12th day because of the protocol.

 

[bobs head soup]

Not that AFL selection is a realistic proposition this week, but is it right that Marra is unavailable for VFL selection this week under concussion protocols, but is technically available for AFL selection the following day?

No.

 

[glenashley]

2 trips to Perth plus a trip to Geelong means we're not back at Marvel till July (vs Roos).

Is that the debut game?

Yep that will suck. I'll be able to go to the Geelong game but everything else will be watched at home

Another week of no football won't be good for his preparation

 

[bresker]

He’s on the Barkley St podcast this week, seems like a humble young fella.

 

[dogwatch]

How many games has he played in recent weeks? Seems like he has missed nearly a month of footy due to concussion, the bye and the lockdown.

It certainly doesn't help a young player needing to build up endurance and match fitness after missing out on footy completely in 2020.

He said on the podcast his concussion period allowed him to do a bit more fitness work, knowing he wouldn't be playing on the weekend.

That's good but he did a whole year of fitness work last year and he wasn't anywhere near ready for senior footy.

Has he got better advice on what sort of fitness work to do now?

I'd still just love to get game time into him.

I would imagine being under the guidance of an AFL strength and conditioning regime would be a significant upgrade on being in lockdown for six months and only training with one other person in a NAB League system. I see your point, but I think comparing this year and last is an apples and oranges exercise.

From the looks of things, he spent a lot of last year building on his strength and speed, not aerobic capacity

If things don’t improve Geelong game will be in Adelaide

 

[Doggy]

If things don’t improve Geelong game will be in Adelaide

That's 3 weeks away we will be ok by then

 

[Mattdougie]
