Fit Bugger

Any idea how he ranked among GWS players?

Didn't he tear us a new one in the last quarter of round 24? although he couldn't convert any of his chances I reckon he took 3 or 4 strong marks on the lead in about 10 minutes. Could have turned the game but didn't kick straight.

Depth.

Yeah/nah. The game was all but over and probably keen to impressed his future team mates he did bob up by finding a bit of space in the last quarter. We had subbed Mitch White, Cross was off and it was Oscar Mc's second game. Not a surprise there were a few openings in the backline.

He handballed 2 of them off to guys running passed who kicked points.

He'll compete with Grimes and Lumumba to give us a bit of work rate for a half back/wing spot and if needed be an option to fill Jetta's spot if he's injured. Hope he plays round 1 because he'll serve it up to the giants.

That's it then. He is 'the Bum Thief'. I really hope that sticks.

Better than Pedo I guess

I rate Bugg, he's a very solid run with player who can win his own ball, he will free up Vince and Viney and allow them to attack more.

A bit more insight there on Bugg.

Some quotes: 

"Bugg said a strong endorsement of Melbourne by former GWS teammates Dom Tyson and Sam Frost helped make his decision a no-brainer."  Good to hear the guys are happy and spreading the word...any other GWS players we want to bring home...

“I’m really competitive and passionate when I play. You can probably see the competitiveness because I get into a few fights – I got into a little fight with Angus Brayshaw in round 23"  We might have to start a 'Thomas Bugg - you made me cry' thread...he looks a good buddy for Viney!

Haha! I didn't see that, did he get fined or anything for it? We're starting to bring in some real tough nuts, intimidation in a few years will be huge for us! Brilliant interview

A fine exponent of unsociable footy.

Lets not get too carried away with the welcoming mat, praises to be handed out when we start to become a much better team.The fans deserve it.

Just watched his post match interview. Anyone else like what they've seen of this guy so far?

He was good today. Will be a reliable role player.

Another competitor that doesnt take a backwards step and loves to get under the opponents skin....  Like him, like him a real lot.

Not keen on his disposal; I noticed it in the last quarter of round 23 and it was a bit similar yesterday.  Hope he can iron it out of his game because he is ripper otherwise.

That wasn't Toby Greene was it?

The 4 were the marks in the last quarter.  Not normally one to harp on stats but I remember him having a great last quarter.

Probably was Bugg then. I've just seen Toby Green do that a few times. He would be a dominator if he could kick more than 30m

He was poor against us in the last H&A.
