Kirk Ugle Biography

Collingwood delists Cameron Wood, Simon Buckley, Kirk Ugle, Luke Rounds and Jonathon Ceglar as part of its list overhaul.

"All of the boys did what they could to give themselves a chance and they were good people to have around the club," Collingwood director of football Geoff Walsh said.

"People don't always see what sacrifices are made to try to forge an AFL career. We thank all of them for that effort and wish them well."

Kirk Ugle makes his AFL debut for Collingwood at the MCG with 5 disposals (2 kicks and 3 handballs) and a mark in a 1-point win over Essendon.

Small forward Kirk Ugle is earmarked as a candidate fill the void left by Andrew Krakouer's season-ending knee injury.

"Throughout last year he made a lot of progress, and if he can continue along the same path we'd be expecting him to push pretty hard for senior selection," Collingwood development coach Tarkyn Lockyer said.
