WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - TOMAS BUGG

Do we need to hold a couple of picks for rookie upgrades?

There are endless picks. If we trade away all our picks - there will be more - enough to fill our list - that's why clubs have multiple 'passes' at the end. GWS had about 6 'passes' a couple years ago.

Pretty sure you just get afforded a handful of picks at the end of the draft for each list vacancy, then you need to pass on one or 2 picks if you want to have selections in the PSD.

 

Weren't we going to trade pick 2 for Bugg and Buntine 2 years ago?

Probably something H-H threw up...

You wouldn't be surprised based on his 'impressive' CV that you've placed in your signature.


I think as it stands we've got 8 off and 2 on (Melksham and Kennedy) and that leaves 6 primary list spots, with 2 likely rookie upgrades. So that currently means we need 4 live picks or 3 if we trade for Bugg. It's hard to keep track of the exact numbers because of the FA pick awards but it's something like: 6, 29, 46, 50, 64 (Vandenberg), 82 (Harmes)

Think we need to pay Terlich out and get another spot for someone who may have a future at the club.

Whoever gives these guys 3 year deals should be sacked.

I think it's a raffle after pick 15, this year especially, so not too concerned about having late picks if they're not really early.

There might be more to the Bugg deal as everyone agrees it is a pretty simple one, yet it's still not done.

We really need Bugg, if only because now that Howe is gone just to relieve Watts from copping all the crappy puns.

Can anyone tell me just which picks we have as of right now?

Would our second one be in the Rioli range??

Bugg would only fill Howe's place. At least we have Gawn & Dunn to spread the god-awful-pun load.

Yes, now that Howe is Gawn it is imperative we get the Bugg deal Dunn. That's Watts important. Cross my fingers.

The hold up might be that we can get him for free as a delisted free agent.

Can then use our picks for other trades we might have cooking.

Awful pun off? You blokes aren't Lyon.

But I'm not sure about Bugg. Someone needs to conVince me that we aren't just trying to keep up with the Jones'. I am happy with Melksham though; his added toughness will help keep Watts out of Harmes way.

2 year deal.

I am getting more convinced with each passing hour, that we are trying to do another deal with Bugg involved.

It is a simple deal for probably our pick 50, yet it is not being done and there appears no angst from anyone about it, nor is it being reported on.

We now have only 1.5 days left of the trade period and it doesn't make sense to me otherwise.

Reckon we must be looking to improve our draft position while still landing Bugg. Whether it be through GWS, Sydney or Brisbane.

Probably that GWS are busy tying up the Treloar deal and the 4 players for 2nd rnd pick with Carlton.

The theme of our trades being the end of the line continues...

  • 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.

    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.
