    This is Red Fox. Balls and The Wrecker activate now.

    I assume he's worth our, what, second rounder? A deal similar to the Frost deal last year?

  • Quote

    Gws would probably command a second rounder for him, which has already been rumoured to go to every other club as part of every other rumoured deal.

    If Howe heads out without a swap of picks, and Toumpas for Melksham happens, a second rounder for Bugg is likely.

    Ralph adding Bugg to the list we are interested in and I've heard it is reasonable info.

    I'm not a huge fan but he's another in the 'better than Matt Jones or Terlich column'.

    Brings some hardness and could play lock down small defender, tagger or defensive forward.

    At the moment we have

    Jetta who plays the role of lock down defender. His disposal is average. He does play his role well minimising the impact opposition smalls have.

    We have Grimes who many class as a mid size defender. He can't play midfield. His disposal has improved to become average with the occasional trademark brain fade.

    Then we have Salem and 3 talls. Tmac/Dunn/Garland(Maybe next year Garland out for Frost).

    Once we have real depth on the list and more talented players our back six should be 3 talls and 3 mids. That gives us gear flexibility and we become a very dangerous side.

    We only need to look at the Hawks and Geelong to see how effective this is.

    the Jet has the ability to play thru the guts. inside. now he is developing self belief.

    Another player I'm not excited by.

    If you think we're going to improve by poaching top 10 players from top 8 clubs, then you're going to be disappointed.

    So now you know how I think ?

    Not at all.

    But do tell...

    You two are the same person, right?

    His Manager says:

    MFC want inside players that are also competitors.

    We also want someone who can play forward, back middle...the typical 'on-baller'.

    Bugg ticks all those boxes.

    We are really in the frame and Thomas wants to come back to Vic.

    No other clubs mentioned so he may well be a Dee!

    If he ticks all the boxes he should be a walk up start in our 22.

    Having watched him play, he's not someone who sets the world on fire.

    But the whole idea behind bringing in these types of players at our club is that competition for spots becomes hotter and generally higher standards are set whether that be on game day or at training and that's nothing but a good thing. We're starting to bridge the gap now between our starting 22 and then 'the rest'.

    One day we'll stop having to find so many of these types of players and we'd hopefully be able to attract some house-hold names.

    But clearly we're not in a position to do that.

    So let's just be happy that we're refreshing the list with new faces, upgraded depth and a new energy brought to the club by these types of players.

    • 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.
