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.

A Bugg mugg !!!

waiter waiter, whats this bugg doin' in my devlish soup !

edit:

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

Wham!

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.

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

would pick 43 be enough?

 

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


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.

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..

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.


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.

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.

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

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.

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

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

  • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

    A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
