WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - TOMAS BUGG

Featured Replies

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.

Seriously Tiger, don't know if you've had it broken to you from others on here or in your personal life but you are an absolute bore.

Had we drafted any one of the 'top 10 draft picks' you mentioned above I have no doubt you'd be on here droning on about it.

Simple question: Would you have preferred if we had drafted Sumner, Plowman, Lamb and Philips?

 

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.

Pick 8 isnt a gift as the Blues gave up the 2016 1st round pic they got from Geelong

They did well in the trade though

Expected to happen very soon.

 

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).

Exactly. love the strategy. GWS need points

10 = 1395

43 = 378

46 = 316

50 = 273

64 = 101

7 = 1644

27 = 703

28 = 677

48 = 302

Bugg = 3rd round pick

7+28 = 2321

We'd have to add in all our other picks to get that done and then be gifted Bugg. If we want that pick 7 I'd be surprised as to how we'd get pick 28 as well.


Brett Anderson tossing up a hypothetical

7 (when they get it for Trelor) + Bugg for 10, 43, 50

I've got a feeling that is what we are going for. Otherwise we would have already swapped Bugg for pick 43 or whatever.

The deal is done! Great news!

 

Not a bad day for the Dee's.

Was helping out with Caulfield Grammars footy side a few years back - Bugg was captain, good bloke, good footy brain, good footballer. If my memory serves me well the Dees were big into him as a schoolboy, however GWS got first dibs as a preselection

Not excited by this, however, he deserves his name correctly spelt in the thread title.

His name is Tomas.

Another tough nut competitor who will NOT take a backward step..

Welcome Tomas!


I like that we don't have to play slow players like Grimes or Cross on someone like Brent Harvey or Dalhaus or any one of the quick half forwards that usually kill us any more.

We have a legitimate lock down back flanker or wing/centre square tagger.

He came cheaply and is capable of filling a need. Plus he's young enough and skilled enough to be an option going the other way. Even if he's not a great kick a left foot is handy to provide balance and we are now getting up to a decent number of left footers.

Wow, gained pick 3, 7, Kennedy, Bugg and Melksham, gave up 10, 6, future pick, Howe and Toumpas.

Don't know about you guys but this has been a great trade period.

Really like the age bracket of the players we've recruited. All have had a taste and couple of pre seasons. Ready to go to that next level as a player.

Would have taken this ten days ago...

Actually think it was 25, not 10, that we had originally!!

I'd love to get Tom Bugg to the club. I rate him as a player and think he's been undervalued at GWS because of all the other young budding 'stars' over there. Also reckon he'd be a great personality to have around the club. Does everything required of him and plays his role week in, week out.

Plus he comes from the Chris Judd stable.

His name is Tomas.

Effectively an upgrade on any of McKenzie, Bail or Fitzy.

I'm excited for that reason alone.

    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.
