The Jamarra Thread

[Jon#]

Just heard a big update on Juh 9 news tonight.

 

[Mojorisin]

Actually attending appointments is one of the biggest battles for these issues. It's a shit situation all round but I seriously wish him all the best in getting on top of it. Many don't.

This is exactly the way we should all be feeling. Yes it sucks for the club and he has left us high and dry but he is also a guy who still has his whole life ahead of him. There are many going through the same or similar issues to him from all walks of life, luckily for Marra though he has access to the best of the best via the AFL.
He like all other young men and women deserve the right to get themselves in the right direction. Although all actions come with consequences some of which can't be resolved his well being should always be number one priority.

He ain't playing for Dogs again. Leave of absence... pfft....
Knew he didn't want to be with the dogs ages ago.
Here's his actions being polar opposite to his words.
Didn't need to be a rocket scientist to see this writing on the wall.
"No Juh said this" Juh said that" pfffft.
He played everyone.

Probably less details than what has been written in this post

 

[Optimistic Dog]

Please dogs do not trade with the cats. Unless they make up what we should have got for Bailey plus what JUH is worth. That is pick 1 or 2 picks inside 6. They ain't got them and they would probably offer a 3rd rounder.

 

[Westerndog11]

I think the broader AFL world and its supporters are starting to realise this situation is more severe than they first thought. This isn’t simply mismanagement on the clubs behalf or Marra being unmotivated like they thought.

 

[JohnnySteel]

If he sits out the year isn’t it more chance that he stays with us in 2026? I can’t see a trade going ahead where we would get something worth offloading him.

 

[Optimistic Dog]

If he is on leave of absence does he still get paid and can we get a mid season pick for him being off the active list.

Yes he gets paid.

No MSD pick.

Interesting update form Tom Morris. The Dogs see this as step in the right direction

It certainly can't be a step in the wrong direction. It gives the club full focus on it's season and it gives Jamarra the real chance to rehabilitate through his troubles without the pressure of going to the club.

 

[bobs head soup]

The narrative that Jamarra has gamed the club, played us for suckers, seems ridiculous to me.

Sure he's getting his $800k or whatever for nothing, but his next contract for many millions over several years (with us or another club) was the really big one.

That will now not happen, or will be a very small percentage of what it should have been.

He is not a young man controlling the situation, he is out of control.

Sadly, all parties are losers in this situation - most of all him.

i’m glad someone is capable of showing some empathy and compassion amongst the pile on

for all the haters, would you feel the same way if it was your son/daughter facing similar (alleged) issues

incident this week serves as wake up call to Marra.

 

[doggie dog]

It is quite possible, but the state he appears to be in, he doesn't know what he is doing in the next 24 hours.

To be fair, his parties/restaurant/coffees do take up a lot of his time.

 

[Optimistic Dog]

Yes he gets paid.

No MSD pick.

Then not much changed from for the dogs other than maybe less distraction from the media when the dust settles on the latest news.

He hasn't "played" anyone - he has however ****ed his career opportunities massively, as well us moderately.

Marra has done things wrong, but thankfully he’s not remotely in the realm of shit bloke that Tarryn Thomas is

Hugely different situations

 

[acool]

Under the circumstances, probably the best outcome for both the club and the player.

The club does not need this type of constant distraction. And I really hope he sorts himself out.

 

[The White Mouse]

I'd say there is a bit of change.

No traing officially, no club engagements etc ... don't drop in when you feel like it. That's all off the table. He's effectively in exile.

It was simply necessary.

surely no one thinks he’s ****ed us over on purpose? but he still has. like you said there’s no winners in this.

 

[theAthenian]

Good riddance. We are on a quest for the holy grail, we are a serious threat. JUH doesn’t have the balls or brain to follow where our boys are going. You take the money you have to sacrifice, simple as that. 50k supporters who the majority dont have the money to support the club BUT they do!. And this pisspot amateur footballer party boy is on big dollars, and trying to play us. Well done to the club for calling his bluff. Lets see how hot a football ticket JUH is after a year on the piss and blow.

I dont care if i get banned for this post or if i come across as a heartless prick. I am FFC and FFC is bigger than all of us.

Comparing the two is just straight up wrong. Thomas is a woman basher who should be in jail.

 

[Wocka]

What did Charlie Clarke do? I missed that conversation. Could someone briefly enlighten me? I thought he was the "Much loved players kids babysitter who lived with Treloar"

Sins of the father - think Jack Watts without the t***ies
