Western Bulldogs Indigenous youngster Jamarra Ugle-Hagan makes his Barkly Street debut this week on a special Sir Doug Nicholls Round episode of the Club’s official podcast.
Ugle-Hagan, who is set to make his return to the field on Sunday in the VFL after recovering from concussion, covers plenty of ground with Bob and Woody as recounts his football journey so far, including:
- Growing up in the “big community” of Framlingham with his family.
- Being a sports mad kid and playing basketball and footy with cousins and mates.
- Leaving family at the age of 15 to take up the opportunity to board at Scotch College.
- Playing a game of footy in the same team as his dad when he was 16, at East Warrnambool.
- Being patient and waiting for his opportunity at AFL level.
- Recovering from his recent concussion.
- Reflecting on the significance of Sir Doug Nicholls Round.
- Looking up to Chris Johnson growing up.
On this week’s episode Bob and Easton also chat about ‘Laverne’s’ progress, the Bulldogs’ “chaotic” covid scare, Marcus Bontempelli’s re-signing, the win over the Saints and the feeling amongst the group, Bailey Dale’s form and much more.
