The Jamarra Thread

[TiAn_]

That’s not my recollection at all. Didn’t North offer him a lot of cash?

Years before that.

Your sarcasm detector needs recalibration Brisdog.

I had had a couple….

My life experiences tell me that your list of questions are incredibly biased and would have you kicked out of a third tier Arts Degree course.

Whoa back there! My whole life experiences have been fully dependent on " a third tier Arts Degree course". You've shattered my comfortable delusion that my life somehow mattered!

Richmond wanted to get rid of Dusty a few years ago. He even did a tour of GWS's facilities.
But ultimately no other club wanted him.
Then he grew up and won them 3 flags.
I hope we have a similar story with Jamara.

I think Richmond were trying to rein him in, and he sooked it up, putting himself out there as available to other clubs, but no other club showed interest, so he went back with his tail between his legs and put in the hard work and turned into a superstar.

Marra, is just not interested in football, is the impression I get. You can only get so far on talent, the rest is hard work.

He would most likely have become a Giant had the AFL not stepped in. Richmond fans do not like to acknowledge that.

This could be the best outcome for JUH, but Dusty was a bit of a bad boy but always stood up and was respected by the playing group. Kid had character. I don’t think JUH has much trust left.

The best outcome for JUH and the club is that he is done/ traded at seasons end. Too many bridges burned and trust lost. I hope he goes to Sydney for a complete reset and a club that won’t tolerate it.

What irritates me most about this case is the use of “personal issues” and mental health as the reason for constant poor choices. It devalues the issue for those who are suffering and need assistance.

From a club view, it drives me crazy that we pay 900k for this. There is too much of this in society e.g. the work cover system going broke in every state due to vexatious mental health claims, which results in genuine cases struggling to get approved. I see it time and time again at work.

I don’t know the terms of his tripartite contract with the AFL, him & the club work, but I hope they review this and how it has played out.

I think Kane Cornes said earlier to just take him out of the footy program, and for one I agree with him.

Does anyone know whether he has even been training recently?

 

[dogsuperfan]

I saw him in the Vandermeer micd up video last week, didn’t look like he was interacting much with anyone but then again this the clips he was in would be like 10 seconds of the whole training session.

 

[cleveland]

Does anyone know whether he has even been training recently?

Nah maybe once every few weeks

 

[RWnBluey]

Nah maybe once every few weeks

That’s gotta be a seriously impressive hourly rate.

 

[brmi]

That’s gotta be a seriously impressive hourly rate.

Even more impressive it's only to prep for your job and not even be considered to actually do it.

 

[Dogs Rule]

If anyone caught Agenda Setters tonight, another couple of partying social media clips over the weekend.

Riewoldt said JUH was taking the piss. He said it twice. Hard to disagree.

Exhibit A on how to torch an AFL career in six months and watch all these 'mates' flee when the career and cash dries up.

Sad.

Those videos posted, in his defense, weren't posted by him and are also over a week old.

But the point stands, he is taking the piss now and needs to be stood down at this point.

Riewoldt is 1000% right. JUH is Making a mockery of those with health issues and the club as well. Can’t wait till this saga is over and he is out of the club.

 

[Optimistic Dog]

Unfortunately, this is the second weekly soapie saga in our household. My wife watches home and away and I follow the Jamarra saga not sure which one is more believable.

I personally thought both Martin and DeGoey should have been sacked at various points and both turned it around.

One key difference is that they always made themselves available to train and play and JUH being unavailable for a very long stretch makes it a much bigger issue. It’s easier to forgive the off-field if the on-field is good.

Would love a happy ending, but I’m comfortable we could wear his loss list wise. The longer it drags out the less likely it is we’ll work it out with him.

 

[Anja_Nees]

Years before that.

I knew a few people who had interactions with him around that patch and what was hitting the press (ie chopsticks) was about a tenth of it.

Who knows what steered him straight. I remember they sacked Dan Connors after a night out with Martin and you’d think it was only his massive upside of talent that kept him from getting chopped as well.

Certainly the reality of it. If this was like a Poulter or Baker level player pulling this shit they would have been sacked before round 1 lol.

Talent is a major part of the business.

If you asked me which two players on our list would definitely not get away with the same thing those are definitely the two I would have thought of first.

Players hiding behind the mental health card has been happening for years. They do it because they know it’s a haven where the media won’t dare to go and nobody will ever call them out for it.
All it serves to do is trivialise a very real and very debilitating health condition. For mine the people (along with their management) who exploit a system that is designed to protect the vulnerable in order to avoid scrutiny are lower than shark shit.

 

[Graeme Cook]

You can guarantee if we pisz him off he will turn in to a star somewhere else, we need to keep our nerve keep him to his contract and hope he wakes up and wants to play again.
If he comes good and plays half decent we may get something for him if he wants to leave.

 

[Norm De Guerre]

Stopped by briefly at training this morning and as far as I could tell JUH wasn’t anywhere to be seen.

Make of that what youse will.

In slightly brighter news: the bont was fully involved in all training drills as was treloar.

Garcia was the only player in the rehab group and VDM looked to be restricted to doing countless run throughs.

It’s a shame. He won’t be playing vfl until he’s in full training, surely.

Easier to just say he won’t play at any level this year I think.
