WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - TOMAS BUGG


whatwhat say what

Recommended Posts


Gws would probably command a second rounder for him, which has already been rumoured to go to every other club as part of every other rumoured deal.

If Howe heads out without a swap of picks, and Toumpas for Melksham happens, a second rounder for Bugg is likely.

Ralph adding Bugg to the list we are interested in and I've heard it is reasonable info.

I'm not a huge fan but he's another in the 'better than Matt Jones or Terlich column'.

Brings some hardness and could play lock down small defender, tagger or defensive forward.

At the moment we have

Jetta who plays the role of lock down defender. His disposal is average. He does play his role well minimising the impact opposition smalls have.

We have Grimes who many class as a mid size defender. He can't play midfield. His disposal has improved to become average with the occasional trademark brain fade.

Then we have Salem and 3 talls. Tmac/Dunn/Garland(Maybe next year Garland out for Frost).

Once we have real depth on the list and more talented players our back six should be 3 talls and 3 mids. That gives us gear flexibility and we become a very dangerous side.

We only need to look at the Hawks and Geelong to see how effective this is.

the Jet has the ability to play thru the guts. inside. now he is developing self belief.

His Manager says:

MFC want inside players that are also competitors.

We also want someone who can play forward, back middle...the typical 'on-baller'.

Bugg ticks all those boxes.

We are really in the frame and Thomas wants to come back to Vic.

No other clubs mentioned so he may well be a Dee!

If he ticks all the boxes he should be a walk up start in our 22.

Having watched him play, he's not someone who sets the world on fire.

But the whole idea behind bringing in these types of players at our club is that competition for spots becomes hotter and generally higher standards are set whether that be on game day or at training and that's nothing but a good thing. We're starting to bridge the gap now between our starting 22 and then 'the rest'.

One day we'll stop having to find so many of these types of players and we'd hopefully be able to attract some house-hold names.

But clearly we're not in a position to do that.

So let's just be happy that we're refreshing the list with new faces, upgraded depth and a new energy brought to the club by these types of players.

    THE CAVALRY ARRIVES by Megg

    The injury plague which has beset the Demons 2024 campaign is finally starting to dissipate and with consecutive wins over GWS Giants and a 2-point nail-biter in Adelade, a sense of optimism is rising.  Some commentators are now asking whether the Dees can make finals? A huge surprise with team selection this week when it was announced that champs Olivia Purcell, Paxy Paxman and Eden Zanker would play.   Hallelujah!  The cavalry has arrived. St Kilda missed the finals last season on pe

    GOLDIE'S METTLE by Meggs

    On a perfect night for football at the home of the Redlegs, Norwood Oval, it was the visiting underdogs Melbourne who led all night and hung on to prevail in a 2-point nail-biter. In the previous round St Kilda had made it a tough physical game to help restrict Adelaide from scoring and so Mick Stinear set a similar strategy for his team. To win it would require every player to do their bit on the field plus a little bit of luck.  Fifty game milestoner Sinead Goldrick epitomised

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.
