Will Jamarra Ugle-Hagan get another season at the Gold Coast Suns?

Unknown 0:21
We knew this year was going to be a transition year for Jamara. Um and look as a football club we're quite proud of him of of what he's been able to achieve and and the playing group and the staff as a whole um are quite proud of him. So we'll we'll look to s have conversations with Jamar in the next little bit around uh potentially what twenty twenty seven can look like.
Damian Barrett 0:39
That's the voice of Cal Burns of the Gold Coast Suns Footy Club, talking about Jamara Ugle Hagen, who, as per Cal Burns' uh words there, likely to go around again next year. It didn't work out for him this year. John O did it as a as a recruit from the Western Bulldogs. Um he was obviously coming from a long way back, had having not played at all in twenty twenty five and and having had a very, very messy end to the twenty twenty four season as a Bulldog and then The new start on the Gold Coast and the the dreams and hopes that they all had under the under the season in which they were coming off a finals appearance in twenty twenty five, but it didn't work out. But it's good to to know at this stage of the twenty twenty six period, trade wise, that he's going to be at least on a list.
Damian Barrett 1:18
How that looks, what money he gets to be there, I don't know. But at least he's got a chance to continue the the AFL dream that did seem to be uh disappearing at various stages.
Brad Johnson 1:26
Yep, only three games this year, rounds eight, nine and ten. So the opportunities were there. Only kicked four goals, got one, three and zero, uh, and then out of the out of the side for the remainder of the year. So yeah, it's a it's it's big. This is it for Jamaro now, if he gets that opportunity, isn't it? Like he's he's got a chance to to get things right over a summer and um and then hopefully push his way into the into the starting lineup, especially if King departs for Hawthorne.

Why did the AFL introduce draft rule changes before Tasmania joins the competition?

Damian Barrett 1:51
Yes. Uh Marty, a lot of great feedback to your um take there of of how this looks for Carlton and Port Adelaide with the the bidding systems and the the requirements of those new clubs under the new AFL rules. We quickly go to Luke Infantry Galley now on the uh open line to uh ask a question about the free agency uh matching. So uh we say hello to you there, Luke.
Unknown 2:14
Uh, good afternoon, gentlemen. Um, I just wanted to know if anyone's pressed uh Greg Swann at all on the reasoning behind not waiting until the most uh uh compromise draft in a decade for next year. Why were these rules not pushed back to then? Because all that's happened is they've hurt the blues, um, the power and and the bombers when they've all got these academy and father son bidding um bidding uh picks to match. But there I mean, I'd argue that they're clubs that aren't in the best position as far as uh s uh success goes. So They're hurting the clubs. Uh, by not delaying it. Like surely they could have pushed it till Tazzy, no?
Marty Pask 2:55
Look, I I I don't mind that uh as an example and uh and as as an idea. As I said, I I think the to your point, the the biggest issue's been the fact that giving the clubs enough runway to work this through. And I feel that, yeah, Tazzy probably might have been a really good situation, John know, where you could have said, Right, this is where uh we're gonna have these players enter the competition, these are gonna be the new rules. This is how it's all going to work. Probably even look at our talent pathway to some degree as well. Um, and how that looks and how we can streamline that to make sure that we're seeing the best of uh the younger players coming through as well. But that's a that's a different conversation.
Marty Pask 3:33
But this one, absolutely, I I think that could have been a really good opportunity and I think it's a really good shout.

Are AFL academy and father-son draft picks valued too highly?

Brad Johnson 3:38
I think the I honestly think the the value of these individual players, Academy or Father Sons at the top end, it's it's just out of it's out of whack.
