Still reckon now's the time to be getting into Bugg's ear and convincing him to enter the PSD!

Came into this thread to post the exact same thing.

I'd be getting in touch with him & saying

"Look, GWS have shown they're happy to offload you the first chance they get. We're offering you the chance to come back to Melbourne, play with a former teammate in a young team where you have a greater chance of logging solid minutes if you work hard. Make it clear to GWS you are going to leave through the PSD to come home to VIC, we'll do the rest."

I agree, hit up Buntine whilst we are at it, he'll be better than Bugg.

Buntine has been injured, he has a natural inside game, he'd be a dream PSD addition.

Going by BigFooty and GWS Forums, both are in contract..

Great analysis Machsy. Buntine has kamikaze attack on football. Has some deficiencies but Cale Morton like he ain't.

Jamat and Blease for Buntine and Bugg

I like Bugg.

Just a really solid honest player.

Will never be a superstar, but he could be a young Brad Sewell.

That's a shame, but I think I remember hearing that this is correct.

Bugg signed til 2015, I think.

Not surprised, either.

Sewell's A grade for mine. Not a superstar, no, but that tier down. Really underrated. If he turns into another Sewell, I'd be all over him.

B+

Not worth having a barney over though.

IMO Sewell is just an honest trier.

A very very good one, but that's what he is.

There's nothing exceptional about him, he doesn't have any amazing strengths.

That's probably what's so amazing about his continued success.

Bugg doesn't quite play the same position, but I think he'll be an honest unspectacular hard worker.

You can never have too many.

[Binmans PA 26,663]

Perhaps you're right. I'd have Sewell before Jones and that's no slight against Jones. I just rate Sewell higher. He's had the support of Sam Mitchell and Jordan Lewis though, so it's a little unfair, I guess.

Bugg sounds like the sort of guy we'd be targeting with a second round pick, next trade period. Particularly, if blokes like Clisby, Strauss and Terlich struggle in '14. Does a second round pick sound right? I hope we stay in his ear then.
