Toast Jamarra Ugle-Hagan - Welcome to the club

[VitalDread]

Is Oakleigh still in the finals? The nab league mobile site is awful.

They had the break on the weekend since they beat Gippsland last weekend

 

[stefoid]

The difficult part is that we nominated him when he was 14 years old

So it's not our fault he developed into a star player

ha ha yeah, but thats kinda the point.

GWS Recruiting Manager Adrian Caruso was asked on the Road to the Draft podcast if there was a definitive number one in 2020 as Matt Rowell was a year out from this draft.

He replied that there wasn't a clear cut number one but mentioned two players;

Elijah Hollands and Jamarra.

Please god (I mean Jah) let us land a pick 1 KPF for pick 18

Too much or too little? AFL to review Academy, father-son draft discount

The League has told clubs there could be changes to the discount offered to clubs who match bids for tied prospects

m.afl.com.au

Any change would be implemented 2021.

Awesome. Now does this stop the stupidity from some of our supporters thinking the AFL have a witch hunt set out against us getting any sort of benefit? Honestly so over the 'We will be screwed out of Jamarra' talk. Our club has been one of the biggest beneficiaries in recent times in regards to the father-son system, and we've utilised the benefits without complaint.

We'll get Jamarra. Shoosh.

 

[ab_83]

Well if they increase the discount to 30% in 2022 we will all be in hysterics that the AFL are biased and favour other clubs due to a vendetta against the Dogs.

I have a feeling that us getting Ugle-Hagan might be the reason a raft of changes take place to the NGA system in particular. Can you imagine if we managed to snag the consensus number one prospect (potentially) with a late first rounder and some other picks?

Teams are already pretty mad about Tarryn Thomas (pick 8) and Isaac Quaynor (pick 13), so if Marra keeps this up there is bound to be a lot of outrage.

I'm not a big fan of the current NGA system. Not sure what the answers are though. Just selfishly hope we get this kid first and then they can make the changes from there

 

[stefoid]

So to be clear, if we trade our 2020 1st round pick during the current trade period, we can still pay for Marra with a collection of 2nd rounders or whatever, right?

Yep, the issue is though we've got Nick Stevens and Ewan MacPherson to pay for too, and there's a chance either of them will go early. Best bet might be keeping next years first and downgrading it next year for a points surplus. There's always plenty of teams keen to do that.

You can’t just collect loads of picks though and use them. They need to marry up with your list spaces.

Exactly this. No way we trade our first rounder next year unless it's for more points. I'd imagine we try and trade a couple of our thirds this year for a couple of thirds next year to help as well.

Like Sydney did with Heeney?

I'm assuming that's why we gave someone like porter an extension rather than getting a draftee who is locked in for two years

 

[footyfan000001]

So we’re getting him?!

In what way marry?

 

[hatescaptcha]

Can’t believe we have to wait another entire year...

The number of picks a club holds going into the national draft must match the number of vacant spots on their primary list.

Any change would be some way from being introduced, however, with the AFL mindful that with clubs able to trade future draft picks for next year, it couldn't change the rules for 2020. Any change would be implemented for 2021.

 

[VitalDread]

Only teams can stop us if they dont trade us 2020 picks

There's a pretty easy solution that would see the AFL set up academies allowing those at risk of playing outer sports or missing out on their chance the same possibilities. They just wouldn't be club tied.

 

[dergert]

IDAGF about the NGA discount or anything. Good recruiters work around it. Dalrymple did for us in several compromised drafts.

 

[House_of_Dahl]

I actually think the balance is pretty good for father-son and academies. Any less and clubs would barely bother, any more and it's too much advantage at random times. At the moment there is enough incentive for the romance of family and the investment in academies. But no-one is getting ridiculous advantage. Drafts are risky regardless anyway. S'pose if I supported a club with zero benefit from it over recent years I might feel otherwise (any clubs with nothing?) but it'll all be swings and round abouts when looked at over enough years.

 

[ossie_21]

Slightly excited he will be a key player in the NAB league grand final today alongside all the hype of this years draft crop, when he’s a year younger
