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.

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
