Follow along for all the major moments and post game reactions as the Bulldogs and Lions face off at Marvel Stadium.

Jamarra, for a young fella, is still getting experience at this level so to step up and play the way he did - you have to be proud, especially as what I consider a younger brother in many respects, it’s great to see. We shouldn’t have needed much off the back of the last two weeks. What a great way to come out and respond. Just going out there and proving the point. I’m definitely pumped, it’s great to play like that, the midfield was strong. That is nice to play against them, I feel that’s the end of that, I can move on. It’s a big game for us, we need to turn it around. Looking forward to getting back home at The Gabba under the lights again. Jamarra, five goals obviously a tough week for yourself. “Just got to sit down, relax and not talk about footy too much. The spirit of the club, expecting a big fight they gave us that. We didn’t convert as much as we should have, we kicked a lot of points.

Ugle-Hagan channels Winmar in stand against racism (AFL)

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

Ugle-Hagan had presented Jones with his Bulldogs jumper this week before the 19-year-old's debut. As it sailed through he turned to the crowd and celebrated in Winmar's iconic pose, lifting his jumper and pointing to the colour of his skin. Ugle-Hagan had a day away from the Western Bulldogs earlier this week after he was the victim of racial abuse during the round-two loss to St Kilda.

Bulldogs star's 'powerful' display just perfect (NEWS.com.au)

Bulldogs star Jamarra Ugle-Hagan has made a powerful display, just days after he was racially abused.

The spectators to have allegedly abused Ugle-Hagan have not yet been identified. They are said to intentionally harm, and we continue to be confronted by them as a community. Ugle-Hagan also kicked a second goal early in the second quarter. It has been almost 30 years since Winmar famously turned to spectators to proudly show off the colour of his skin after being racially abused by members of the crowd. After kicking the first goal of the match, Ugle-Hagan turned to the crowd, lifted up his jumper and pointed to his stomach — channelling Nicky Winmar’s iconic stand against racism. AFL star Jamarra Ugle-Hagan has made an iconic statement with a courageous act just days after he was racially abused on the field.

'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’.

Marra makes powerful statement as Dogs put bite on Lions (AFL)

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.
