Word on the street is he won't be at the Dogs next year . He won't be playing at any level this year .

Word on the street is he won't be at the Dogs next year . He won't be playing at any level this year .

Most people think he won't be at the Bulldogs.

The big question is where will he end up and what will you get for him.

Why AFL's rumour magnet Jamarra Ugle-Hagan faces the fight of his life

Jamarra Ugle‑Hagan generates more rumours than just about any other AFL player - and he isn't even on the pitch. With the goodwill that once circled him having evaporated, fans are fearing the worst.

I'm not saying that was co-written with AI, but it refers to the field as the "pitch".

Ghost written by Brayshaw the flog who just takes references / phrases from other sports and (stupidly) applies them to Aussie Rules ?

It's the Daily Mail, a grubby British tabloid. This is actually high journalism for them.

Absolutely no time for the grub. Self obsessed Gen Z on too much money, hanging out with dickheads, pulling mental health cards when it suits, doing wank off fitness regimes in Byron bay or wherever it was, and just showing total disregard for his opportunity and contract.

If this guy really had mental health issues then we’d not hear a word from him and he’d be working away quietly at his issues and getting back to full health.

As soon as this goose drops the MH card it’s an indictment on people actually dealing with it. Who has the opportunity in the real world to just swan around like he has at pubs, clubs, health facilities and throw his face all over social media?

The WB should just cut him loose and another club should put him on a rookie contract for 12 months to see how committed he really is.

Bang on and it's extremely offensive to those of us who struggle.

I seriously hope that he doesn’t get sympathy from the media when he returns about how tough 2025 was…

He almost certainly will, he's untouchable.

And no, before anyone says anything, he's not untouchable because of his skin colour. He's untouchable because he's a drug addict. After all Bailey Smith gets the same kid gloves treatment for the same reason, and he's lilywhite.

They could pay some more respect given half their AFL stories originate from here.

I’ve known people who have had to take a career break etc because of mental health issues

They haven’t been paid their full wage for months and months on end while failing to stick to even the lowest level of commitment their workplace could tolerate.

The idea you can take an indefinite break from work and earn $800k for your trouble while not even doing the bare minimum is entitlement on a level your average person cannot understand. Plenty of people have to tough it out and keep working because they have no other real option.

It’s great we’ve found a forward setup that works without him. It’d be nice to get compo but it’s not likely sadly. Best of luck to the next club that takes the punt.

It’s disgusting. Mental health issues for the everyday person are so far and beyond what this kid is experiencing. He has deliberately exposed himself to social media by being completely cavalier with his behaviours and appearances.

He needs to grow up and the next club choosing him should seriously give him a one year deal whereby it’s stipulated that he does the basics first and foremost.

I’d be embarrassed to walk back into the WB. He has taken the piss. His last game was an embarrassment as well.

Its physically impossible to be depressed/have mental health issues and parade yourself around on social media for all to see.

Someone who is struggling is reclusive as opposed to being boastful. Ive never heard of a boastful depressed human and thats kind of the issue with JUH so called struggles

You cant be boastful of your life and yet believe you are struggling. It simply doesnt match up

 

[The Blue Max]

The AFL are still in shorts dealing with drug use. ATM they’re treating every incidence as a case of addiction, when it’s not.

I’d prefer to see it labelled for what it is - ‘questionable life choices’ unless there’s clear evidence of serious addiction.

That would get rid of the MH label.

Mental health/depression and how people cope with it can manifest in many different ways.

A good friend of mine was very flashy. Tried to show off to the world he was living the high and fast life. No one saw the signs of what he was battling through behind the facade.

Took his own life and blind-sighted us all.

1000% agree with this style of scenario. I think bragging on social media is just a different kettle of fish though. I think that takes a level of confidence that depressed people dont have

The aforementioned friend was very active on social media.

I think young blokes hold themselves to an idealised self image, and I could only imagine how difficult it would be so for someone who is so publicised like an AFL footballer (especially a good one at that). The immense pressure to carry yourself in a certain way so as not to look weak.

The stigma surrounding mental health has certainly improved a lot since when I was JUH's age but it's still there.

Animals don't beat their chest and puff themselves up when they're feeling fine. They do it when they're feeling threatened. I don't think humans are any different.

Quite a good point and not something I thought about in that he could just be puffing his chest.

I guess the aspect is you do see a guy like JUH have this insane amount of support around him and rejecting it too which makes it quite offputting too

The true first step in recovery for a lot of things (generalising here) is being able to not only ask for help but accept it.

It's one thing to acknowledge you have a problem. It's another thing to actually start taking actionable steps to try and address it.

It can take people (especially blokes) a LONG time before they can get to that first step. Some won't or feel they can't.

Thanks for the perspective on the issue.

It's very easy to judge someone, not so easy to walk a mile in their shoes.

It’s a tough one. Can understand your club wanting to wash their hands of him and move on. But I can’t see them doing him any favours and paying his full contract to get another go elsewhere. Hard to know where the line is, would they pay half his salary for a 2nd rounder. And on the flip side, are there clubs that will pay a 2nd and half his salary.

I think one thing that could wake him up is sitting around during trade week whilst clubs haggle over paying a 2nd or 3rd and those clubs either not offering an extension or offering future years on low base plus performance additions.
