Good news as Viney's contact with Rance was deemed to be with an open hand.All clear. Buggsy was fined a grand for pushing an injured player.

As it should be!

He played a good game The Bugg

I can never question his endeavour or his attack on the ball, but he's such an untidy player. He drops marks he should take when the pressure's on and misses team mates too often. He's good depth though.

He got into Richmond Players early and unsettled them

Did a great job...

Maybe the club should have a 'Tomas Bugg fund'. Clearly he will be fined flying the flag many times. We need that. It sets a precedent and deters other teams from trying to bully and push us around (although I would argue in this instance that pushing an injured players is over the line). Bugg is necessary. Going off of a recent comment (Kane Cornes), Bugg is even still in the head of retired players. This kid is breaking people down mentally, Cotchin might not recover from this.

First on our tackles ladder though.

Rance 3 weeks down to 2 with early plea for his weak act on Watts.  The MRP criteria should be amended to add an extra penalty for cowardice.

That's the endeavour I can't fault. His pressure around the ball is terrific. His deficiencies appear when he has ball in hand.

anything about melee fines?

Plenty of them, MRP list is about 40 people long. 

Salem, Viney, Dunn, Hunt, Jones all fined for melee/wrestling.

Bugg fined for contact with an injured player.

I like Buggs intensity, tackling but he is a little sloppy. I like him getting under the skin of opponents but the fine he copped is fair. Melee involvement is one thing and flying the flag is fine but pushing at an injured player hobbling around in the hands of trainers is not particularly tough. Do not like this one little bit.

Yep. Bugg is one of those players I would absolutely loathe at another club. Pesky, trash-talking show pony that annoys the hell out of the opposition.

That said, he wears a demon jumper, so he's great.

More than depth....the new breed of the Roos' vision.

Tough, unrelenting, fit, fast.

Gets to many, many contests and can spread too.

I know you didn't question his endeavour, but I reckon he'll get better in the skill department.

Jon Ralph won't be happy with that after he continually had a crack at him last night.  Should have gotten 10 weeks based on his tweets.

Bugg, Kennedy, Jones, Vince and (best for last) Viney are the best things to happen to MFC for a decade.

Bugg can turn it over but god I love how much of a pest he is.  Got in Cotchins head something fantastic last night.

Bring it MFC.

Rance got 2 for smacking Watts... About right I think and from what I read vince was not cited.

Rance got three, a guilty plea will downgrade it to two.

What did Cornes say about him? Got a link?

Love what Bugg brings, we have needed a [censored] like this for years.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
