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.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
