WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - TOMAS BUGG

Featured Replies

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.

 

MFC and GWS recruiters just marched into AFL House. Tommy Bugg about to become a Dee.

Gubby Allan just said they won't be getting anything done today.

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!

Wont be done today. But hoping to get it done tomorrow (Mahoney on Trade Radio)

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

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)

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

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?


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

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.

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

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.

  • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
