I blame the COVID years 
Yeah that segment by Bevo was bleak. Basically waiting his manager to tell us he wants to go.
To be fair Holmes is the only one around our pick we would’ve had that was any good also meant we had to keep Dunkley and missed out on Rowe so I don’t actually think it’s that bad of a loss

Who the hell is his manager? You're meant to looking after the kid
While it would be a great disappointment to cut ties with a young man that has enormous potential, I agree with the sentiments of taking a stand. You're either in it with the club 100% or you're not. If Ugle-Hagan shows the same professionalism as the rest of his teammates moving forward I'll support him 100% as a member of our great club. This remains to be seen and there's only so long this can continue before a hard decision needs to be made.
If a potential trade involved a gun young midfielder and a more than solid young KPD I think we'd be silly not to consider it. Darcy and Naughton are good for the next 8 years as a pairing, while Croft could be anything.

What did bevo say?
I agree if someone doesn’t want to be there then you have to move them on.
But I think the club may also need to consider if we have the right environment currently. It’s not normal to have this many top tier talent want to leave. I’m not saying we don’t have the right environment, maybe it really is just bad luck, but we need to work it out quickly otherwise we’ll keep losing players for minimal returns.

I think the only one we can really say was an environment problem was Dunkley. Pretty much everyone else who has left in the Beveridge era had some some fault of their own.
Stringer, Hunter and Dahlhaus all had a ton of baggage. We might’ve mismanaged Smith, but good luck to any club trying to manage that bloke.
Dunkley is really the one that hurts. But unfortunately if someone wants to play bulk midfield minutes and live in Queensland, what can you do? Does hurt not having him in our team.
We're in the strongest position in our history. While the trend of losing potentially 3 guns in recent years isn't great, our culture never affected many of our other young stars. One Joel Freijah right now who has captain material written all over him.
I believe it comes down to the personality, not club culture so much.

“culture” is the most overrated word in footy.
Geelong have had a few incidents over the last few years and could have arguably the biggest off field footy scandal ever in the courts soon. Ever hear anyone question their culture? Nope.
No one gives a shit about culture unless you’re not winning. Just as Melbourne..

You’ll need to catch the whole segment rather than the small clip they have posted on socials. It sounds like he’s unlikely to be there next year is my interpretation.
True but they haven’t had some of their best young players request to leave either.
Losing Marra would be massive. The guy is a number 1 pick. In his case it sound like it’s a him thing rather then an us thing. Just saying no other Vic club is losing young talent like this so the club would be negligent to not consider if there is something wrong with our environment.

The whole situation stinks. F****** disgraceful.
Again we get screwed over by a d***head player and again (coincidence or not) it's a Connors Sports Management client.
Wasted a number 1 pick and now that pick is taking the p***.
The club owes him no more of its time now. Trade him for maximum value and get on with life.

Let the lad go. We all have demons, regrets at what might have been. Good luck to you, young Ugle-Hagan.
That Pavarrotti goes alright, a Caleb Daniel replacement ? .

It would be equally negligent not to consider whether there is something wrong with our psychological profiling of and due diligence on draft choices in the recruitment department.
It's possible it was always going to end this way with both Smith and JUH, regardless of who selected them on draft night.
In my view, that's the bit we should be having a close look at.
This was the most telling part for those who were unable to watch the whole thing.

I’d love to know why Jamarra thinks the grass will be greener elsewhere. Does he know he will still be expected to kick a bag of wind around wherever he goes?

Interesting times with Bev out of contract year end no guarantee he will be there, Bains comments on JUH and JUH been a spoilt brat.
Pretty upset angry it has come to this
As for those asking about his management team they are probably at their wits end also.
What a s**t sandwich all round
It’s a good point. and why I hope the Club is at least considering if our environment is contributing to it.
I suspect a big part of it is guys like Smith and Jamarra just want to play for bigger clubs rather than building something themselves.

He is doing on purpose he is getting it he is running the clubs face in it.
