WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - TOMAS BUGG

[Deeoldfart 8,005]

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.

All part of the 'master plan'. Right now I couldn't be happier with my footy club!

[Ron Burgundy 8,584]

Had a bad day at work today, yet I'm bloody pumped!

[radar 1,865]

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

His name is Tomas.

TOuMpAS - misread it.

[Little Goffy 14,442]

Can we please nickname him "Windshield"?

[binman 42,606]

Another lefty. I like it

[Mickey 4,647]

Loved this from the new Dee

Beat me to it! Absolutely cracked up reading that.

Sheesh cupla hard heads in Viney Salem Brayshaw Vandenberg... man the list goes on..

[dees189227 12,367]

Well I think its a good get. He will slot into our midfield and just go in tough and hard. Its good to see players are excited. christian petracca ‏@cpetracca7 3h

Great trade period for @melbournefc. Excited for 2016. A lot of hard work to prove a lot of people wrong and that doubt us. Let's do this. I think he is itching to get out there for us.

Anyway its good to see todd and co doing some hard work.

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Dees cocked up with Toump - but 2012 is a horror draft for GWS.

- pick 1 Whitfield - looks good but no Wines, Macrae or Stringer.

- pick 2 O'Rourke - bust

- pick 3 Plowman - bust - now bundled up with 4 other (Summner former pick 10) to Blues for Pick in late 20's!

- pick 12 Jaksch - bust

And now SOS is trusted to rebuild Carlton's list!

Exactly, that is probably the worst first round drafting ever.

Can we please nickname him "Windshield"?

Or "Hidden Mike"

This is good to hear. I think the club should really bind the group with this "us vs the world" mentality, that everyone doubts the club (even some of our own supporters).

I hope i am not the only one who thinks this, but giving away that future 1st rounder will make it really hard to land Prestia next year..

[BAMF 4,298]

Glad to pick him up. What a great day of trading from the club. Totally makes up for overpaying for Melksham!

Now that we have Bugg, I would not be surprised if we traded Grimes for a pack of chips.

A packet of chips, do we trade watts for a freddo frog then?

It does a little. But we can always use 2017's first rounder, or trade into the first round. I think the going rate for Prestia would be a 1st and a 2nd rounder, so it is still very doable. All of this hinges on him wanting to come to us of course. And if he did nominate us, both clubs will make it happen.

[spirit of norm smith 16,250]

Bugg is a competitor. Great pickup.

[Red and Bluebeard 2,083]

Can we please nickname him "Windshield"?

I guess "Syntax error" doesn't exactly roll off the tongue ...

[Deestroy All 14,262]

Can we please nickname him "Windshield"?

Buggacattack.

[Gator 17,261]

Buggacattack.

Bugger ?

[Deestroy All 14,262]

Bugger ?

Rolls off the tongue too easily.

[Red and Bluebeard 2,083]

"Mozzie"? Those buggers don't roll off anything ...

[Deestroy All 14,262]

Not obscure enough.

The aim with nicknames these days is to be as obscure and difficult to yell out as possible.

Chairman of the Board should be Bugg's nickname.

Bugg, Bugg Zapper, Zapper, Frank Zappa, Franky, Frank Sinatra... simples.

No, just spoke to Roosy, it's Buggsy.

But who will be Bugg's bunny? Perhaps we should call him Elmer then ...
