Doug’s done the big u-turn in this video .
He has points but I think the club has had the arm around him all summer .
This has the Stringer vibe all over it .
sadly Stringer didn’t see it until it was too late .
Latest reports suggest Jamarra has seen the light , let’s hope it’s in the past and he has matured to the state he will give it his best shot.
I get the feeling his family might have pulled him up on it all as well and the indigenous are very devoted to their “tribe” so maybe that’s what has been the catalyst to his pulling his socks up .

I don't know Jamarra, I have no special insight, if he has gone down the Stringer path one thing that may make a difference is that I do genuinely think Jamarra loves the club and on some level appreciates the investment in him and his career. Whenever he talks he's clearly not media polished and speaks a lot more honestly than most pro footballers. So when he said last year he wanted to sign with us and wants to stay at the club I think it is genuine and might keep him here rather than chase a quick pay rise to pay some gambling debts or whatever.

I'm probably of the same opinion. I don't question his love of the club and supporters and whatever problems he's had with some players have probably been sorted.
He probably has a problem with some of the coaching and the clubs administration who have put some hurdles in front of him but he's going to need to learn to deal with that.
It will be fascinating to see if this turns into a good news story or if there are more bumps in the road.
Wishing him all the best.

I see the AFL media are gearing up on the “damaged goods” line as bigger clubs come sniffing. We should let go of him for a bag of chips because they feel they can fix him.

JUH is going to be OK. Good kid, gone through a patch there, but has been doing everything asked of him if we take what the club has put out there in face value.

Eddie says how annoying it is that Ugle-Hagan isn't doing enough and needs to pull his head in. A few days later Collingwood are apparently very interested in bringing him in.
It's a stacked deck that is manipulated.

Eddie has nothing to do with Collingwood decisions anymore . His thoughts are his not the clubs .
I tend to agree with some of the above comments in the fact I do think he loves the club and is on the path back already and was before the story hit the news.
just remember his first two years away from home he couldn’t kick a footy in anger due to covid .
I think this might have been hard on him and might have been part of going astray . Let’s face hit he left family to play the game he loves then couldn’t play and he was only 18 in a city he didn’t know with no family .

Matt, not sure we need one of our own with a click bait headline like that.

Yeah clickbaity titles make it an instant non-watch for me, just cringe.

Click bait is when the title doesn't represent the content, designed to lure you in and not deliver. I'd like to think that I have asked the question that the media is asking, but answer it emphatically and with a pure Bulldogs lens with Doug Hawkins. If this isn't to your liking, then I can't help you, but please don't seek to discredit the work I've put in to discuss and present this for our supporters to engage with and enjoy.

I am not discrediting your work at all I am saying is perhaps frame the question or headline in a different way, especially considering this is a pro bulldog forum.

“We’re still on good terms”: Lobb reiterates Ugle-Hagan support amid reports of rift


By Lachlan Geleit



Western Bulldogs defender Rory Lobb has reiterated that he and teammate Jamarra Ugle-Hagan are on good terms.

Lobb initially addressed rumours of a rift between himself and his teammate on TikTok after Sam McClure reported on Nine that Ugle-Hagan had to regain the trust of Luke Beveridge, Marcus Bontempelli and the defender to be considered for selection again.

That story came on the back of Ugle-Hagan spending considerable time away from the club this off-season as he’s dealt with what SEN chief reporter Sam Edmund described as a complex situation.

Speaking to Dwayne Russell on SEN Afternoons, Lobb confirmed that his relationship with Ugle-Hagan was still ‘really good’ as he hopes to wrap his arms around the 22-year-old as he pushes to return to football.

“Jamarra and I are all good,” Lobb told SEN Afternoons.

“Obviously he lived with us - myself and my partner - towards the back end of last year.

“We're still on good terms. We’re really good. I’m just hoping we can get around him and get him back to playing some footy.

“He's got a few personal things to go through, but we're just trying to put our arms around him as a football club and try to get him back to playing some football.”

Lobb isn’t the only one of the reported trio who has made an effort with Ugle-Hagan recently, with captain Marcus Bontempelli confirming on SEN that he met with the young forward outside of the club for a coffee to talk through his ongoing situation.

With Ugle-Hagan not at the club as much as his teammates over the off-season, Lobb has been trying to make the forward feel welcomed back since he returned to the club last month.

“I'm trying to get around him when he's at the football club,” Lobb said.

“Obviously, he’s spent a bit of time away and he's coming back. I'm just trying to make him feel comfortable around the football club because he's obviously not been on the day-to-day program as everyone else has sort of been on.

“I’m just trying to make him feel comfortable through the day-to-day, and obviously like Marcus, trying to catch up and see where he’s at.”

While Lobb is backing Ugle-Hagan to make a successful playing return, he says that’s not the priority as the club looks to help him work through his off-field issues first.

“Obviously he's got to get his body right to play AFL football, but that's in the future,” Lobb said.

“We just want to make sure that he's right as a person and with the mental demands of playing football.”

Jamarra Ugle-Hagan missing from training as Rory Lobb shuts down rumours of a rift

Wayward Bulldogs forward Jamarra Ugle-Hagan has been absent again from the club this week, missing two scheduled training sessions.

But the Dogs maintain they’re comfortable with his reasons for not showing at the slated sessions on Monday and Tuesday.

After sitting down with captain Marcus Bontempelli over the weekend as he continues to mend bridges following a troubled summer, he did not join his teammates at the Whitten Oval on Monday for their final preparations ahead of their season-opener against North Melbourne.

This time Ugle-Hagan did alert Dogs officials of his absence and they’re believed to be understanding of the reason for him taking time away again.

There had been increased optimism that the 22-year-old was turning things around after he trained impressively over the past three weeks.

But coach Luke Beveridge emphasised over the weekend that he was still a long way off from being available for senior selection.

Bontempelli said on Tuesday that “things are definitely moving and progressing in the right direction” on a personal level for the young forward, and that he was “confident in the plan”.

Teammate Rory Lobb also moved to shut down reports of a rift with Ugle-Hagan, declaring the pair as “on good terms”.

Lobb, 32, had Ugle-Hagan — who spent time away from the club over summer amid personal issues and recently returned to training — living at his home at the end of last year, and maintained on Tuesday that there is no issue between he and the young forward amid suggestions their relationship needed to be repaired.

“Jamarra and I are all good,” Lobb said.

“Obviously he lived with us, myself and my partner, towards the back end of last year.

“We’re still on good terms. We’re really good. I’m just hoping we can get around him and get him back to playing some footy.

“He’s got a few personal things to go through, but we’re just trying to put our arms around him as a football club and try to get him back to playing some football.”

Lobb said he had been attempting to support Ugle-Hagan as best he could.

“I’m trying to get around him when he’s at the football club,” he told SEN.

“Obviously, he’s spent a bit of time away and he’s coming back. I’m just trying to make him feel comfortable around the football club because he’s obviously not been on the day-to-day program as everyone else has sort of been on.

“I’m just trying to make him feel comfortable through the day-to-day, and obviously like Marcus (Bontempelli), trying to catch up and see where he’s at.”

I'm sure if JUH did anything that upset the Lobbs too much we'd have seen it on TikTok

[Hot Dogs]

Lobb has been very impressive with how he's carried himself in recent times. I think we've done well to bring in players with good character from other clubs such as him and Treloar.
