You can say what you like as long as it's factual.

Why is the media happy to pile on Bulldogs players who transgress but, as you say, have not reported your "facts" about JUH? Perhaps the "facts" are not as you claim them to be.

The only person on here getting "smashed" is Marra.

I don’t understand why we can’t be discussing this situation as supporters of the club?

The facts are that he has missed multiple training session pre-Xmas & has now missed multiple session post X-mas. Every day he’s posting on his socials whether it’s boxing or going out.

It could be entirely club sanctioned but who knows? That’s why it can be discussed here. Players who are injured are typically still around the main training sessions completing their own program, he clearly hasn’t been there at all on a few occasions.

These are fair questions to ask of a player who would be one of our most highly paid.

JUH has apparently been absent from some/most Monday sessions this pre-season. That's all we know. Anything else is pure speculation.

Unfortunately mutt it is 100% factual. Anyway we can all believe what we want to believe, but I don't doubt every supporter wants him to be get the best out of himself and turn in to an all time great for this club.
 
Marra did have a delayed start to pre season due to post season clean up and attended all time trail events
 
I think it is enough Marra talk. We are making assumptions of Marra's abscence. And when we assume, we make an ass of u and me. So until we really know what is happening, best not to talk about it. Today, I heard a bloke at training say, well if he wants to go, he should. Well that is a bit much. In any case, it is all speculation without knowing any facts. Come back Marra, that is all I can say.

I enjoyed training today, btw as I said earlier. What I liked today, although I am no coaching expert, was that the feel of the training was more dynamic than other seasons. To me it looked faster and lots of skill work. Wonder what others thought who have been to training. Thoughts?
 
I don't think it's all that surprsing nor even that notable that a player who missed games in the middle of last year for personal, mental ie non physical reasons is also missing training sessions in the subsequent pre-season. He was supported and defended by the club against the media then and I don't see why this pre-season is any different.

Perhaps this will have an influence on him as a player and means that he won't get a career out of the talent being a number 1 pick. I mean, also, who cares, especially if it's a genuine struggle for him that isn't in bad faith by him and he's still got a good relationship with decision makers at the club. But that's footy. If that happens, it won't be the only number 1 pick key forward under Bevo who struggled to make the most out of the talent and ultimately couldn't quite fit into the rigours of being a full-time footballer, and nobody criticises that, and rightfully so.

Serious question. Why has it not been reported in the media about him going to Bali in the week before the final and missing training. I know many will smash me like others here have been getting smashed who have been raising the very obvious concerns the club has with him, but we r at risk of seeing a potential champion of the club be lost. It's very sad and concerning.

He went Bali the week before the final? Sure.

You smashed me and banned me I have been to training every week since November and it's fact Marra has not been training with the main group all the time.

I didn't give you an infraction for any reason other than you broke the site rules. I don't "ban" or "smash" anyone for their opinion.

Follow the rules and be civil and respectful and you'll avoid the attention of the mods.

Broke the sight rules absolutely garbage i only gave opinions that Marra needed to pull his finger out the power has gone to your head little man.
If you look back you warned me on my very 1st post not very fair.

I hope this escalation was not caused by my training post.
I should have added Libber , Treloar also didn’t train.
It will become clear soon enough , the speculation now serves no good purpose.

KH your post did not escalate things reg JUH. Your post confirmed that something is not right and hasn’t been right for sometime.

As far as I can tell seems JUH has been deliberately kept away from the main playing group training sessions and seems to be doing much of preseason away from the group and club.

Hard to work out what’s going on but it will come out it’s too obvious now with his lack of appearances on the track.

What it is who knows

Don't talk about JUH. Some posters will get upset at mentioning the thought of him missing training.

It's at the point of serious concern now. The guy is posting on socials him boxing every second day but consistently is not at training.

Think we can safely say, he won't be playing early on.
