Roos talked about the new interchange cap bringing shut-down players back to prominence again on 360 last night.

It's no surprise we're heavily linked to this guy. Put Hannebery and Boak to the sword late in the season.

Hardly inspiring but at least we're nibbling away.

I don't do gifs.

Yes we do.

The kid had big wraps before he was drafted. Im not overly excited but at least he is not a delisted pickup.

If he is being earmarked for a main tagging role it would help free up Viney and Vince , which will obviously be huge for us.

The most common knock I've heard on Bugg is that he isn't a great kick. He goes at 76.6% which probably sits somewhere around average / below average for a defender. That's overall disposal efficiency so handballs as well.

I havent watched him closely though (don't make a habit of tuning in to GWS), can anyone shed light? Where did he primarily play this season?

Bugg is a competitor, who has played mainly back, but also a bit on-ball. He's a good size, but can butcher the ball by foot.

For evidence, look at round 23 versus the Dees.

seagulls don't hunt much, they gather anything they can, including easy pickings from tips. They are in good health & not underweight. They reuse discarded material for their purposes well.

we need to take all we think can help us. No team is a SoOrigin side.

one mans scrap, is another creators treasure. we must stop thinking like women at a supermarket. only looking to the shelves.

Just on Bugg, he definitely competes but his footskills are a bit questionable. He's deceptively quick as well. As someone alluded to, he might be a nice run with player which will free up Viney.

We have enough scraps I think, time to start eating healthier and not feasting on others half eaten chips...

I think he means we have to start foraging for draftees like a seagull does for food. I say we split out resources between the beach and KFC car parks..

Have I accidentally taken acid again?

Apparently still hasn't been offered a new contract by GWS, so I'd expect a third rounder or exchange of picks would get it done.

Latest source I could find other than bigfooty is from late August:

I havenrt seen him play much, are you saying he has a lot of mongrel in him?

He certainly loves a bit of lip.

Sure does. Very lippy fella and loves a scrag.

At the moment we have

Jetta who plays the role of lock down defender. His disposal is average.

Bit harsh on Jetta's disposal IMO

Bloody awesome. Bugg, Viney and Kent on the field together sounds like fun.... for everyone but the opposition.

Can we leave the Big Footy slang on Big Footy, please? For Frank's sake.

No idea what that means, but Bugg was a Caulfield Grammar boy

haven't you heard, "beggars can't be chooses", it seems, with Danger & Parker running the other wayz, & last year who was it again.?

Taking scraps while growing bigger & stronger, keeps us alive & kicking.

So, we miss out on our upper level getting an off the shelf Lift,,, oh well. But we can still lift our nether regions up a few degrees, so they don't drag along the ground any longer... yes you get the picture, stu.

anyhow, keep your pecka up mate, gravel rash isn't pleasant.

Bloody awesome alright.

there seems to be a change in the winds up old man Melbourne's shorts... those old long socks of political correctness i feel, are being sent off to the 'Opp shop', as we speak.

can it be, please let it Be... that the days of morton bennell cook gizburt are over & dunn with ?
