Ugle-Hagan comes of age to lead Bulldogs to victory (The Age)

In a pulsating game the Bulldogs hit the front with less than five minutes remaining as Jamarra Ugle-Hagan kicked five goals to lead them to victory over ...

But they did not give up and deserved the win as their desperation was inspirational. The Bulldogs crowd went berserk as their finals hopes are alive and they are capable of beating anyone. The Bulldogs did not give up and came out after half-time with spirit and fight to rush Melbourne each time they tried to dispose of the ball and locked the ball in their forward half. It happened after the Bulldogs made a good start in the first quarter but lost their hard-won ascendancy as the Demons kicked the final four goals of the quarter. It was deflating for the opposition and uplifting for the Demons, who know it took them to a premiership in 2021 and might well take them to another flag this season. When they were in trouble with the opposition about to challenge, their centre bounce four steeled themselves to win the clearance and score to regain control.

'Just the start': 'Special' breakout game could 'catapult' star No.1 pick to greatness.

We’ll celebrate that and then bring him back to earth really, really quickly, because there’s a bit to come up ahead.” Bulldogs supporters should be excited, because it’s not just that man in the headband anymore (Naughton). You’ve got an alternative.” Steven May was having a pretty significant night, and our other key forwards weren’t necessarily getting it too easily and having their most outstanding nights. “So, for the youngest and emerging of the trio (Ugle-Hagan, Naughton and Bruce), to play the sort of game – Saturday night lights against the Demons – was sensational. “He kicked three on the Gold Coast in one of his earlier games and he hasn’t hit the scoreboard a hell of a lot (since),” Beveridge said. This was the definition of a breakout game — and Jamarra Ugle-Hagan hopes it’s “just the start” of many more match-defining performances in his AFL career.

Jamarra Ugle-Hagan inspires Dogs in top 8 surge against Demons (PerthNow)

The Western Bulldogs' season is alive and kicking after its No. 1 draft pick came of age in spectacular fashion against the Demons.

The 30-year-old ex-Bomber had more tackles (seven) than touches (six) last week, but was sharp early in this one and more than did enough to maintain his spot. Bayley Fritsch starred with four goals but Weideman, who came in for the injured Brown, added three and Jake Melksham and Kozzy Pickett helped themselves to two apiece in a balanced attack. The 20-year-old, who has copped his share of criticism already for on- and off-field matters, kicked multiple goals only twice in his first 15 career games and had only seven in 10 matches to start this year. Bailey Smith and Riley Garcia combined to put the Bulldogs in front for good, with the moment also seeing the Dees concede 100 points for the first time in three years, in this exact round in 2019. But the Dogs kicked five of the next six goals either side of the main break to slash the deficit and eventually chased down Melbourne in sensational fashion. In a classic encounter with wild swings of momentum from the first siren, the Demons shot out to a game-high 27-point lead shortly before halftime.
