Western Bulldogs forward Jamarra Ugle-Hagan will not attend the club's pre-season camp, focusing on his health and wellbeing. Veteran defender Jason Johannisen suffered a hamstring injury, while midfielder Adam Treloar is battling to be fit for round one.
Western Bulldogs star Jamarra Ugle-Hagan will not be joining his teammates at the club's pre-season camp in Queensland. The 22-year-old forward has been dealing with personal issues and will focus on his health and wellbeing away from the team. The Bulldogs said last week that Ugle-Hagan had their full support to train separately, engaging in flexible arrangements as he navigates these challenges.
Coach Luke Beveridge, who was absent from training on Wednesday, opted to fly north early to prepare for the camp. Meanwhile, veteran defender Jason Johannisen suffered a serious hamstring injury during training, requiring a minor surgical procedure. This setback will see Johannisen miss the opening rounds of the season, with a return to full training expected in two to three months. The 2016 Norm Smith medallist has endured a frustrating past three seasons due to injuries, managing only 28 games since the start of 2022.Adding to the Bulldogs' concerns, star midfielder Adam Treloar is facing a race against time to be fit for round one. He was limited to walking laps around Whitten Oval on Wednesday and won't participate in the team's match simulation in Noosa. On a brighter note, key players Aaron Naughton and Tim English both trained strongly and are on track to play in the team's first match against Essendon on February 15. Naughton has been battling illness and a calf injury throughout the pre-season, while English recovered from an abdominal injury sustained during training last week.
