A dramatic end to the Continental Tyres Trade Period has seen Jamarra Ugle-Hagan become a Sun while Buku Khamis will stay at the Kennel.
Ugle-Hagan departed for the Gold Coast in exchange for Pick 74 after a year beset by personal challenges.
Selected as the No.1 pick of the 2020 National Draft, Ugle-Hagan played 67 games in the red, white and blue, kicking 103 goals.
Despite a late flurry of activity, Khamis did not depart the Club after requesting a trade to Carlton, who negotiated the departure of Charlie Curnow to Sydney with seconds remaining.
Bulldogs Player Acquisition & Strategy Manager Michael Regan said the popular Khamis would still have a significant role to play at the Club next year.
“He’s a really valuable player for us, offers versatility at both ends of the ground and a wonderful person too who we know will come back into the Club ready on day one (of pre-season)," Regan said.
“Our playing group will wrap their arms around him and we look forward to Buku having a great year for the Club in 2026."
The deadline drama came a day after Connor Budarick joined the Bulldogs from Gold Coast along with Pick 70, in exchange for Pick 37.
The small defender played 55 games across six seasons for the Suns – including 19 this season as the club played finals for the first time.
On Monday morning, the Bulldogs exchanged Pick 12 for Picks 14 and 37, freeing up the pick required to secure the Budarick deal.
The Bulldogs will now enter next month's draft holding selections 14, 33, 70, 74, 89 and 107.
