[daisycutter 29,795]

Is it true that he gives his opposition the Jitters, Bugg?

Wham!

bugg-er off billy.

[dee-luded 2,959]

Huh? He's not unattractive.

Sure, he's no Chris Mainwaring, but he's no Joe Daniher either.

lol, Daniher's a bit of a preying mantis, if he was an insect.

I believe doing back stroke

[dee-luded 2,959]

I believe doing back stroke

aaah, tis the silly pre-season.

Any chance there could be a thread started exclusively for all the oddballs and outcasts to post their excruciatingly lame and unfunny puns?

It's pages and pages of absolute dross on here because of it.

Off-season.

[Ted Lasso 19,549]

What are we realistically going to be able to get Bugg for?

would pick 43 be enough?

[Travis Boots 157]

I reckon thats about right. We have a pretty good trading relationship with them

[Mach5 4,768]

I reckon about the same as Frost cost us last year.

[Ted Lasso 19,549]

I reckon about the same as Frost cost us last year.

Pick 20 odd, was there a swap of later picks as well? can't really remember

[TheoX 1,222]

I reckon about the same as Frost cost us last year.

They haven't offered Bugg a contract, they wanted to keep Frost, 3rd rounder should do it imo.

Try this

I reckon GWS have youth coming through that they believe will squeeze players like Bugg, among others, out of their best side, so they don't rate certain players as high as they should. GWS have some [censored] talent running around in the twos..

So that maybe why they haven't offered Bugg a contract, that and he must really want to come home, he's been linked with a trade home for a couple of years now I reckon..

[Philthy 284]

Big Yes to bugg

GWS has a problem with the talent at the high end of its academy programme. It recently nominated eight players under the provisions of the AFL Club Academies Rule:-

Jock Cornell (Mangoplah), Nicholas Coughlan (Albury Tigers), Matthew Flynn (Narrandera), Harrison Himmelberg (Mangoplah), Jacob Hopper (North Ballarat Rebels), Jack Irvine (Temora), Matthew Kennedy (Collingullie) and Lachlan Tiziani (Albury).

The bidding system is likely to place the two players bolded inside the top ten and one would imagine the Giants would like to be able to draft at least three others. To do this they need to accumulate a certain number of points which they can only do by acquiring more draft picks. They also need to off load listed players to make room for these players, hence they are putting players like Bugg up for trade - it's an absolute necessity to enable them to take advantage of the strength of their academy crop at the same time as the draft pool is generally considered as shallow.

[Mach5 4,768]

Great problem to have, and great for us too if we can take advantage of it.

[bjDee 1,249]

Tomas Bugg looks to be a handy pick up (if we get him).

Thanks for getting his first name right RB.

That won't be an issue with Treloar leaving and potentially McCarthy.

[whatwhat say what 23,072]

one in the top ten wouldn't be a problem, but two might.

hey, we could get pick 3 and then nominate the better one of the two, which is probably jacob hopper?

cal twomey's prediction was #5.

Hopper's dominance for NSW/ACT saw him named its most valuable player. He averaged 26 disposals and eight clearances across the Rams' three matches and was clearly a level above. He is a competitive ball-winner capable of shaping the momentum of a game through sheer effort around the contest. Hopper, who is a member of the Giants academy and seems likely to head there at the end of the year, also likes to press forward and kick goals, evidenced by his bag of four in round one of the TAC Cup.

186 / 82.

[rpfc 28,832]

Sorry, no news - just a note: Bugg is OOC and can go through the drafts if he so chooses, he can nominate to go through the PSD alone if he wishes.

We could call it something like 'you've been punted'. gidit, hahahahahaha

[MadAsHell 4,217]

I get the feeling that Bugg & Kennedy are going to be wrapped up in a threeway trade with us, GWS and Collingwood that sends Bugg & Kennedy to us, Howe & Treloar to Collingwood and Picks to GWS.

[Dee1987 277]

Anymore info here have we gone cold? Or are we waiting for other trades to go through on Thursday/ Friday??

[spirit of norm smith 16,596]

pick 50 for Bugg??

[Lil_red_fire_engine 11,262]

I suspect Bugg should be PSD or delisted FA unless we don't intend on using pick 50 elsewhere?
