\u201cIt\u2019s good to have light at the end of the tunnel, but obviously (I\u2019m) still contracted to the Western Bulldogs, so I\u2019ll still represent them as a team. But I\u2019m still keeping options out there, we\u2019ll see what happens,\u201d Ugle-Hagan said.<\/p>\n
\u201cObviously my mental health was paying a toll, but that\u2019s because football wasn\u2019t a thing. Obviously I wanted to play and wanted to train, but somehow I\u2019ve just got to meet the requirements and stuff\u2026 it was challenging.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI reckon I had 12 funerals this year, so that\u2019s 12 family losses. That definitely takes a toll on my football and stuff. But my football\u2019s my medicine, so if I have that, I\u2019m healthy, up and about.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut if I don\u2019t have that, it\u2019s definitely a challenge \u2014 it\u2019s like taking candy from a baby.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ugle-Hagan suited up for the same carnival that Collingwood\u2019s Bobby Hill and former North Melbourne Tarryn Thomas took part in over the weekend in Cranbourne.<\/p>\n
The Dogs key forward is contracted until the end of next season, however there is a mutual understanding between he and the club that if Ugle-Hagan is unable to find a new home, they will part ways this off-season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Western Bulldogs forward Jamarra Ugle-Hagan has opened up on the mental health struggles he has faced in 2025,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":191297,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[560],"tags":[638,64,63,689,55,639,14349,94188,121150,121147,2105,2485,9130,7492,514,121148,121149,677,701,78379,11244,85,77684,660,698],"class_list":["post-191296","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-afl","tag-afl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-australia-and-new-zealand","tag-australian-football-league","tag-australianfootballleague","tag-bobby-hill","tag-cranbourne","tag-family-losses","tag-football-carnival","tag-getty-images-inc","tag-gold-coast","tag-gold-coast-suns","tag-hawthorn-hawks","tag-mental-health","tag-mental-health-struggles","tag-north-melbourne-tarryn-thomas","tag-oceania","tag-queensland","tag-rare-interview","tag-sam-draper","tag-sports","tag-trade-interest","tag-victoria","tag-western-bulldogs"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/191296","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=191296"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/191296\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/191297"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=191296"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=191296"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=191296"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
