Western Bulldogs young gun Jamarra Ugle-Hagan has made a public stand against racism after being abused last week.

"I just want someone to point them out, rather than me contact the club and have to say this happened. "That goes with any race, not just Aboriginals and Indigenous boys and girls, it's all races in the League. Just keeping my own routine going, and I just got the lick of the ice-cream at the end." "Back in the day, they would have had it a lot worse. "I did get a bit emotional, especially when all the boys ran over to me. "I knew it was coming up to 30 years since Nicky Winmar did that, but it just came in the moment.

After a week of turmoil, the Western Bulldogs are on the board, turning around a wretched start to the season with a fighting 14-point victory over the Brisbane ...

The gusto in which he celebrated the play underlined the greater intensity his team brought to their play. While there was no specific match-up for Dunkley, who finished with 23 disposals, there were parts of the night when he and his best mate Adam Treloar were side by side. There was much to like about the Dogs’ start, be it Bontempelli’s end-to-end run, the dare showed by debutant Arthur Jones or their vigour at the centre bounce. The Bulldogs champion carried the weight of his club’s slow start last year and was determined to do all he could to get them over the line. As is his way, the enigmatic Joe Daniher was a source of frustration. Jack Gunston was excellent, outpointing Josh Bruce with his smarts and speed off the mark.

Jamarra Ugle-Hagan has made a powerful stand against racism and fired in attack to lead the Western Bulldogs to a tense 14-point win over Brisbane.

The second led to an Eric Hipwood goal that cut the margin to two points. It came from a free kick as three straight Bulldogs majors in the second term gave them an eight-point lead at the main break. Ugle-Hagan raised the bar on his opening goal with a second from an even tougher angle in the opposite pocket.

'Talk about a moment': Dogs star recreates iconic act in 'perfect' response to horrific racial slurs.

“The midfield was strong tonight and it made it a lot easier for us forwards. Especially for what I consider a younger brother in many respects, it was a great experience.” There’s enormous pressure on him regardless, being a high pick, even the position he plays, not to mention the last week or so and the things that have unfolded. To go out and perform like that, it’s just an absolute credit to him and who he is. “I think we all had no doubt he’d be himself tonight and want to do the absolute best for his team and our club. “I did get a bit emotional, especially when all the boys ran over to me because it was a special moment. But to see him play so well in such tough circumstances was just so uplifting. It’s so easy to see that we’re not just a football club, we’re a big family. She’s looked after me since I was a young boy. “She’s a proud mum. “I felt pretty proud going out there with all my mates that have supported me throughout a tough week. Hopefully people look back on from 30 years now and say ‘from then nothing has happened since’.

“I did get a bit emotional, especially when all the boys ran over to me because it was a special moment,” Ugle-Hagan said. It’s all racism, it’s making a stance and just it only takes a little bit just to make a comment like, “it’s not the best thing to say” ... It’s so easy to say but we’re just not just a football club.” “Go out there and have some fun.″ I think now players are getting sick of it and making a stance and we’re pointing it out and sorting it out,” Ugle-Hagan said. “I just want to see someone point them out instead of me having to contact the club and say this happened,” Ugle-Hagan said. “I’ve still got four younger brothers underneath me so obviously she just doesn’t want that to happen to her kids. “Just going out there and proving the point. “That’s what got me through and I knew we’ve got such a great club. I felt comfortable going into work and going out and training. It’s just going to help and make it better for us.” The AFL is yet to identify the perpetrator.

JAMARRA Ugle-Hagan booted five goals and made a powerful stand against racism as the Western Bulldogs broke through for their first win of the season.

The result continues Brisbane's topsy-turvy start to the year, having been well beaten by Port Adelaide but blasting Melbourne out of the water (until the lights went out late in that game). Ugle-Hagan had taken a day off during the week, and it proved to be just the reset he needed, kicking five goals from nine touches. While he was treated to a chorus of boos for most of his first term, he settled to produce a steady performance against his former side. Ugle-Hagan's celebration produced an image of the ages, echoing Nicky Winmar's famous action by lifting his jumper and pointing at his skin with pride. Marcus Bontempelli was the star early as the Dogs came out full of fire after a lacklustre opening two weeks. He finished with 0.4 for the night.

Racially abused during an AFL game last week, Western Bulldogs young gun Jamarra Ugle-Hagan has made a public stand against racism like Nicky Winmar.

“I’d rather someone in the [crowd] point it out and tell them, let them know that it’s not the right thing to say. “I just want to see someone point them out instead of me having to contact the club and saying this happened,” Ugle-Hagan said. “Back in the day they would’ve had it a lot worse but now players are getting sick of it and they’re making a stance,” Ugle-Hagan said.

I spoke to Luke Beveridge today, to thank him for supporting Jamarra, and other Indigenous players at the Western Bulldogs. There’s still a few who can’t control their negative attitudes, all we can do is keep supporting each other, and keep calling it out. I’m still here, still involved with the issue, but it’s been 30 years now, it’s like a big relay race, time to pass on the baton.
