Learn to kick straight Bugg

then go wild on socmed

From Hsun

 

"It might be hard to believe but Tom Bugg is the most popular man in the Melbourne forward 50. 

Since Round 9, Bugg has been a forward target 19 times, the most of any Melbourne player. 

However, he has some work to do on his finishing. 

In that time his 13 shots at goal have yielded just four majors. 

The small forward even booted seven behinds in a row across rounds nine and 10. 

However, under the “era of Bugg” the Demons are 3-1 and have moved to fifth on the ladder, so something is clearly working. "

The goals from Watts, Garlett, tmac ,hannan is why we are kicking winning scores

Missed  costly set shot goals vs freo either side of 3/4 time

I would love to see the [censored] scumbags who tag REAL art like this smashed around the head with a cricket bat.

Nobody gives AF about your stupid tags, but even non-art lovers can appreciate quality work. 

Start spray painting your back fence and leave real art alone.

I've had a few people comment lately about our "unsociable" play and how they don't like us as much any more.

I told them all I'd rather we were hated than pitied. 

One of my wife's favorite sayings "we're not here to be liked". She's always played in the defense in Netball.

Yep, saw the tags in the video the MFC posted and felt a true sense of shame. It must be a kick in the teeth for the real graffiti artists to have their work tainted like that.

Said the world 'real' three times in a two sentence post, it stopped sounding like a real word. Oops, there I go again...

It's really "street art" rather than "graffiti". Graffiti tends to be used for words, scribbles, tags and other generally annoying crap.

A number of years ago I knew a talented artist, who referred to his work as "graffiti" and absolutely detested the fact that the word had been hijacked by taggers and defacers. That's why I refer to it as graffiti- although maybe I need to update my vocabulary in this case.

No better than dogs pissing on poles. Absolutely no value to it at all!

graffiti (n.) Look up graffiti at Dictionary.com
1851, "ancient wall inscriptions found in the ruins of Pompeii," from Italian graffiti, plural of graffito "a scribbling," a diminutive formation from graffio "a scratch or scribble," from graffiare "to scribble," ultimately from Greek graphein "to scratch, draw, write" (see -graphy). They are found in many ancient places, but the habit was especially popular among the Romans. Sense extended 1877 to recently made crude drawings and scribbling in public places.

A bit OTT ding.

I'm not a great fan of tags, but its all part of the diversity of street art, some good, some not so much (which btw doesn't mean i condone all tagging). Street artists know the temporary nature of their work, to be covered by others of all graffiti persuasions. Rather a tag than the council remove or paint over it, which doesn't happen in Hozier Lane any more but used to regularly. Tags of various styles have a long history in cities around the world, most notably in the US. Most "non art lovers" saw all street art in Melbourne as vandalism before the turn of the millennium. Tastes change.

lol a few squiggles and symbols spray painted in a single colour over the top of an obvious work of art doesnt do anything other than ruin the original.

These idiots would spray their stupid tags over the Mona Lisa if they had the chance. Crickets bats for all of 'em i say.

I'm a graffiti artist myself, and I only do legal murals (these days haha).

Hosier lane is a public space, and whether you like it or not, people have every right to go over each others work with whatever they like. It sucks, don't get me wrong, but them's the breaks with public spaces like this. Ask any graffiti writer, there is never an expectation that your work will remain up or untouched for any given period on a public wall. You finish, get your photo's, and expect it to be gone or destroyed the next day.

Graffiti comes in many forms, and whilst the public may only appreciate it in forms like this, murals like this have been inspired over time by more basic forms of graffiti, such as tagging.

If I lived in Melbourne I would go down there with paint and fix it myself. I'm hoping someone else does, if not lush himself!

    GOLDIE'S METTLE by Meggs

    On a perfect night for football at the home of the Redlegs, Norwood Oval, it was the visiting underdogs Melbourne who led all night and hung on to prevail in a 2-point nail-biter. In the previous round St Kilda had made it a tough physical game to help restrict Adelaide from scoring and so Mick Stinear set a similar strategy for his team. To win it would require every player to do their bit on the field plus a little bit of luck.  Fifty game milestoner Sinead Goldrick epitomised

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play
