The Gold Coast Suns<\/a> have delisted Jamarra Ugle-Hagan but plan on picking up the young gun in next month\u2019s AFL draft.<\/p>\n

The Suns confirmed in a statement on Friday that they had delisted both Ugle-Hagan and fellow key forward Elliott Himmelberg, with a view to adding the duo back to their list in the November 19-20 draft.<\/p>\n

Gold Coast needed to temporarily shuffle a couple of players out ahead of Friday afternoon\u2019s list lodgement deadline, having signed three players during the trade period.<\/p>\n

The Suns recruited Collingwood legend Scott Pendlebury<\/a> as well as Hawthorn<\/a> pair Aidan Schubert and Sam Butler.<\/p>\n

Ugle-Hagan, 24, played only three senior games in his first season at the Suns, who gave the 2020 No.1 draft pick a second chance after a controversy-riddled time at the Western Bulldogs<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He needed to play 12 senior games this year to automatically trigger a new one-year deal.<\/p>\n

He struggled with injury and fitness issues in his first season as a Sun, and underwent knee and ankle surgery, but showed signs of his brilliant talent across 11 VFL games.<\/p>\n

Ugle-Hagan and Suns teammate Mac Andrew courted controversy<\/a> when video emerged of the pair walking out of a disabled toilet together at the State of Origin decider at Suncorp Stadium in July. They both denied any wrongdoing.<\/p>\n

Ugle-Hagan didn\u2019t play at any level in 2025 because of off-field behavioural issues and mental health problems.<\/p>\n

His chief supporter at the Suns is coach Damien Hardwick<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Gold Coast holds selections eight, 81, 85 and 103 in this year\u2019s draft.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Gold Coast Suns have delisted Jamarra Ugle-Hagan but plan on picking up the young gun in next…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":945846,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[560],"tags":[638,64,63,55,639,85],"class_list":["post-945845","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-afl","tag-afl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-australian-football-league","tag-australianfootballleague","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/945845","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=945845"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/945845\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/945846"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=945845"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=945845"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=945845"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
