WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - TOMAS BUGG

Established players such as Michie, Riley, Newton and Ben Kennedy? He's just pulling names out of a hat as far as I can tell.

If he keeps trying, perhaps eventually he'll find another Josh Kennedy, but I don't like his chances.

Ben Kennedy doesn't belong in the same group as Michie, Riley and Newton. He was a highly rated junior who hasn't come on as expected. The other three were fringe footballers who we got for very cheap.

That's not to say it won't have the same result, but I'd say the premise in taking Kennedy is different to the others.

    Has Gubby Allan ever said anything that wasn't at least partially a lie?

    Source? I'd be surprised if this was our last bit of business in or out given Mahoney's comments about draft picks after the Kennedy trade

    You don't go anywhere without good players. That doesn't necessarily mean early draft picks.

    So far it does...both the recent power clubs, Geelong and Hawthorn have built their success on the back of the draft, early picks and father/son advantages.

    Things may change in this current environment but the reason they are now """destination"""( hate this) clubs are the successes built on the back of the draft.

    Gosh, I hope it gets done today! I'm not sure I can wait until tomorrow.

    Tell me why it matters when it gets done as long as it gets done.

    Because we've run out of things to say about Melksham and Kennedy?

    Josh Mahoney's ears were burning....awesome bit of business upgrading to get two top 10 picks!

    In exchange for a different two top 10 picks though. Meh.

    I'd rather have two this year than one this year and one next (especially given this year's is upgraded)

    When is a top ten pick different to other top 10 picks?

    When they are in the top 3.

    And we have that pick.

    I will back ourselves to stay above BL, Carl, and Ess at least...

    Really hope we can bundle up all our picks in the 40's for Bugg and 27.

    Is this what you mean - 43,46,50 for 27 & Bugg?

  • Quote

    Would rather him running around than Bail or M Jones and with it apparently being a weak draft I would rather trade our late pick for him

  • Quote

    Just to clarify, Carlton just traded (effectively) a second round pick and some nothing late picks for four players (two of whom were top 10 draft picks), and we still can't get Tom Bugg traded in for a third round pick. I hope we are looking to add something juicier in to the deal, rather than GWS dragging their feet.

    I'd rather do:

    MFC IN: Bugg and 26 (729 points - received from Pies for Treloar... eventually)

    MFC OUT: 43 (378), 46 (331), 50 (273), 64 (101).

    Therefore Bugg = 354 points (pick 45).

    I think they were just helping old mate SOS out. To add pick 8 to that deal is like a gift for Carlton. I think it will end up being a defining trade for Carlton. A lot of those players haven't really had a chance to show their worth. GWS have such an elite midfield, its hard for any of these kids to get a run.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
