No argument from Findlay.  Hope Dees don't use him if a player we really need is sent in.

Hard to argue it to be honest.

6 weeks is the verdict.  Nothing surprising there.

Everyone holds their integrity and next time we're there we've a better chance of being believed.

So are they offering up Farhours head on a platter before handing out penalties ? :rolleyes:

Bloody hell thats a long time to train with your mates and not play - hope he can turn it into something positive.

I'm comfortable with that, it was a cheap dog act. Will struggle to get back into the seniors before the end of the year you'd think.

I'm sorry, but until we take a stand on this unprovoked violence it will never end. He has to go otherwise the AFL social responsibility policies are a joke. 

There  is no comparison between Bugg and Houli. Bugg's was a premeditated act of unprovoked violence. Houli was at least in the vicinity of the play and done in response to another player restraining him from getting into the play. There is no comparison. 

I at least do not want thugs playing for the football club I have supported for 50 years. Hard at the ball yes, and uncompromising most definitely, but this is something else. 

I am very much encouraged by the leadership Nathan Jones has displayed on this. Haven't regrettably yet seen anything similar from the coaching staff. 

Premeditated? Inventing alternative facts now. This is a farce. 

Bugg should be hung and have his nose hairs plucked out with pliers.

Clarry wacked his chin on a players back, to explain why it was sore.

Houli was breaking a tackle, pushing the player off, but somehow knocked him out cold.

There was a defence here, chose not to fight it.   Fair enough, but you get the maximum.

6 weeks ... ridiculous

Basher Houli was so very lucky...

I wonder why?

TBH Bugg has been punished not only for the act (which was cheap), but he's also been punished for the timing (doing the week after Houli). As usual the AFL react to things as a whole rather than as individual cases. This sanction is more about making the competition look like it takes a hard line on thugs than the individual incident.

Eitherway, its not a massive loss on field for us I don't believe, albeit Bugg has been handy this year.

Houli doesn't play for Melbourne. Don't think highly of Bugg as a player ( poor disposal ) but 6 weeks for a love tap is amazing.

Harsh IMHO. Four weeks was about right. Not unexpected though

Houli started the bus, Fahour stepped on the accelerator and Bugg, by virtue of his own stupidity managed to throw himself under it.

Well summed up, WA.  My exact feelings on the matter.

Jones was told to make a statement.....

Houli was stopping a DH grom grabbing him on the cherries......

Just about every GF i can remember has a nut nuf in it that helps by some nefarious means get them over the line.....

I predict Bugg with my urging will make it back big......

Even though they were dressed in Sydney F C jumpers it was the Media standing around Bugg in that photo with a shredded top he looked conspicuously like someone from that night of the Last Supper. Who are they to judge............

One too many for mine. The tribunal chairman said the jury should give him a week less for his remorse, guilty plea, etc. If they did, then it was 7 down to 6, which is the maximum the AFL asked for.

 

6 down to 5 would have been more appropriate I think.

Yeh second that... Buggy took it like a man unlike that spider working for the AFL

4, 5, 6 weeks...seriously in the context of our present injury crisis, it's probably weeks 1-3 which will hurt the club more.

I think this issue has become badly over hyped and overplayed in the media, bit at the end of the day, Bugg's stupidity and lack of disipline has cost the club at a time of need ...he's not the only one at the MFC in that boat this year though (thinking mainly of Lewis Rd 2).

Actually feel sorry for Buggy. Splashed all over the news as if he is some  kind of cold blooded murdere. I feel bit bad after what i said after the game. Its no wonder AFL players struggle with depression with the [censored] they cop on social media.

Head up Buggy!

Though he does actually invite that kind of attention though i.e. JJ Instagram saga.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
