Jamarra Ugle-Hagan vs Riley Thilthorpe vs Logan McDonald

[Conception]

All three key forwards taken in the top 5 of the 2020 draft.

Who do you think has shown the most so far?
Who do you think will end up the best?

Would be interested to see how people see these three now.
In my not so biased eyes, TT is going to be the most dominant forward from the three.

Thilthorpe has the ruck craft in his arsenal so in a draft I’d take him, as a pure forward I’d take Ugle-Hagan.

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Really excited to see Thilthorpe in 2025. Looking a really imposing figure in his limited games this season and if he can get through a full preseason I think he is primed for a serious breakout next season.

In saying that I think Ugle-Hagan has shown the most so far and still has the highest potential.

 

[Dazb86]

If Jamarra had league average accuracy he'd be very very good.

Averaging 5.2 shots at goal a game this year which is the most in the AFL. Just needs to get it through the big sticks.

 

[Dazb86]

Thilthorpe is a ****ing unit. Reminds me of Hawkins a bit. Should be easy to build a forward line around in the near future.

 

[Callipygian]

Jury is still out on this one. JUH has most talent, but there's a lot of smoke around his attitude and application or other undisclosed issues. Thilthorpe appears to be a beast but has played fewest games and seems to have most challenges with his body and staying on the park (not surprising given his height and that he spends time in the ruck). Logan is going ok but hasn't set the world on fire and doesn't currently look like he's ever going to win a Coleman medal - I'd say he has the lowest ceiling and highest floor based on what we know now.

 

[My Tilly]

McDonald's very underwhelming.
I don't see much room for improvement in his game. He will have a decent career but nothing elite.

Ugle-Hagan needs to change clubs. It won't work with Darcy & Naughton around.

Ugle Hagan just needs to kick straight. He was 4th in total shots at goal and 4th in average shots at goal last year but didn't come anywhere near the coleman.

I don't think Naughton and Darcy are affecting his game much at all.

Yep 43 goals from 104 shots is woeful even worse is the 26 not scoring,

Gets that closer to 70% like Hogan and he goes close to winning the coleman last year

A forward line of these 3 should be top 4.

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

At this point i am taking Thilthorpe. Most reliable and strongest (mentally and physically) bloke of the lot.

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

Taking Thrillho (Thilthorpe) now easily. Looking like a potential Coleman Medalist early in the season.

 

[The Unforgiven]

Thilthorpe will be a gun. He and Fogarty look like an awesome duo for the next ten years.

Logan Mcdonald just seems average. He could be a slow burn, only time will tell.

JUH, who knows? He has the most raw talent, but it is not looking great right now for him.

Matthew Nicks has copped a lot of heat as Crows coach, but it seems like his coaching and development of Thilthorpe was the best out of the trio (aka Horse with McDonald and Bevo with Jamarra)

Let's RT learn in the SANFL and bulk up for his first couple of seasons, and dropped from the seniors in his first couple of years when his form wasn't up to scratch..

I live in Adelaide and obviously have a lot of Crows' supporting mates, including the misso's fam. I've told them (and people on BigFooty) that he reminds me of Hawkins. The poor bugger copped it in the early days.

He wasn't a number 2 pick or whatever he was for nothing. The kid killed it in SANFL juniors, but I guess I had the luxury of being a casual observer without the wishful hoping/thinking that he'd fulfill his talent.

 

[craffles]

I would take any of them at essendon lol. Output so far is Jamarra but gees I’m backing TT in from here. Beast mode.

 

[conrad_437]

You’d back TT to finish top at the moment.

Would be my pick from what they've shown so far. Absolute unit. Started off the year strong.

Logan has shown glimpses (including a ripper of a game with 5 goals against us), Jamarra absolutely nothing, torches the footy on the rare times he gets it and sooks around the ground.

He’s not showing anything at the moment but let’s not make things up.

Perhaps some recency bias...but 4 disposals and a score of 0.1 in an elimination final says it all.

Yes, he didn’t do anything in a final. That I’ll agree with.

But he had the third most shots at goal in 2024, kicked over 40 goals and had a stretch of four games in the latter part of the year that really gave people a look at what he’s capable of.
