  • IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING

    Posting unsubstantiated rumours on this website is strictly forbidden.

    Demonland has made the difficult decision to not permit this platform to be used to discuss & debate the off-field issues relating to the Melbourne Football Club including matters currently being litigated between the Club & former Board members, board elections, the issue of illicit drugs in footy, the culture at the club & the personal issues & allegations against some of our players & officials ...

    We do not take these issues & this decision lightly & of course we believe that these serious matters affecting the club we love & are so passionate about are worthy of discussion & debate & I wish we could provide a place where these matters can be discussed in a civil & respectful manner.

    However these discussions unfortunately invariably devolve into areas that may be defamatory, libelous, spread unsubstantiated rumours & can effect the mental health of those involved. Even discussion & debate of known facts or media reports can lead to finger pointing, blame & personal attacks.

    The repercussion is that these discussions can open this website, it’s owners & it’s users to legal action & may result in this website being forced to shutdown.

    Our moderating team are all volunteers & cannot moderate the forum 24/7 & as a consequence problematic content that contravenes our rules & standards may go unnoticed for some time before it can be removed.

    We reserve the right to delete posts that offend against our above policy & indeed, to ban posters who are repeat offenders or who breach our code of conduct.

    WE HAVE BUILT A FANTASTIC ONLINE COMMUNITY AT DEMONLAND OVER THE PAST 23 YEARS & WE WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO BE ABLE TO DISCUSS THE CLUB WE LOVE & ARE SO PASSIONATE ABOUT.

    Thank you for your continued support & understanding. Go Dees.


Tommy Bugg on report


Gipsy Danger

Recommended Posts

Have never really warmed to Bugg, but am not going to hang him on one offence. 

 

That said, he deserves at least six weeks for the biggest dog act I have seen since Hall belted Staker. Disgusted with him.

Well Mickey..did you see the provocation? didya ? 

Bugg did stuff up yes ? He collected Mills a beauty...most deserved.  I bet most folk couldn't whack a bloke as well if they TRIED !! 

It just happened ffs. The Spanish Inquisition probably isn't required ?

If you think Mills deserved than you have no idea.

You've gone from 'he didn't mean to and couldn't do it again if he tried' to 'Mills deserved it.'

I'm done arguing with you. Everyone can see it but you. Have a think about that

Gee.. someone clocked on the chin...goes down. Out for the game 

Must be weak as plss !!! :unsure::rolleyes:

Good get BB 

We could have had the moral high ground 

May be rectified by Buggs statement.

Admits stupid act unstated that head is sacrosanct 

Apologised to player and family and those in the club.

The cheap shot is not the way we want to be defined, I'm happy with that.

I think you did just that with your next sentence.

Disagree.

 

he deserves what he will get, about six weeks. He won't disagree that this will be fair, no sane person would. Am not calling for us to fire him or to never give him a chance to play for the red and blue again.

WTF are you on about?

Even if Mills was annoying him, Bugg does that to every player he goes near on a field. If he can't deal with whatever Mills was doing without resorting to punching him in the head, he shouldn't play AFL again.

That was a dog act and he deserves 4+ weeks.

My Swans mate reckons Bugg should get Tony Abbott to give him a character reference!

That would work like a charm - not!

I hear Cardinal Pell will be in Melbourne for some business. Maybe he could swing by the Tribunal to speak some words of Bugg.

When you play the bad guy like Bugg does, it will never end well. You can take the Bugg out of Gembrook but Caulfield Grammar can't take the Gembrook out of the Bugg.

Rod Grinter did that every week. 

Times have sure changed. 

Bugg will do his time and earn his spot back in the side

Every week? What bs. Wannabe excuse.

So what's the point of relevance to Grinter? Like comparing apples and oranges.

Bugg should get 5-6.  Weeks where we needed him. That's all that matters.

The point is. Rod did his time and is still revered at the club

Tom Bugg will do his time, but many want his tenure terminated

times have changed a lot

Bit difference saying this to saying BS like he did it every week, and in '88 the ball was very much in play.

 

unlike you, he wasn't a sniper.

Balls used to belt people every week. It was part of his game

he could also play.

Injuries are the major factor. We have been struck down severely this season. Far more than most. 

But depth is also an issue. I have found it bizarre reading comments regarding how much "depth" WE actually have. We certainly don't have enough. It definitely doesn't require an internal review. Mahoney and T. Viney are doing an excellent job. It's just where we are at during this building process. We must remember we have a young a list, and a very promising one at that. We have a good future ahead and I am 100% confident with the current support staff (and that's saying something regarding previous staff members).

Rod did not do that "every week". To claim so is a simply a romantic lie.

Yes, it is not the 80's. Apart from that your post is bordering on an excuse for Bugg's action WYL.

Stop looking for comparisons that are irrelevant except for the club and the game. Otherwise we'll be going back needlessly 150 years to find a 'winner'

We need Bugg. He'll be out maybe 4-6 weeks for nadda.

Or is it now ok for us to get a reference from the pm or a cleb?

I am not excusing Bugg's actions at all

4-5 weeks is what he will get

But i don't want to sack him and burn him at the stake either

God you make up some tripe at times

You just don't want to remember. 

Most games in the 80's had a single camera coverage provided by the TV News crews. 

Players belted each other all the time off the ball, some got caught

bugg is fool for what he did, but don't change history

    LEADERS OF THE PACK by The Oracle

    I was asked to write a preview of this week’s Round 8 match between Melbourne and Geelong. The two clubs have a history that goes right back to the time when the game was starting to become an organised sport but it’s the present that makes the task of previewing this contest so interesting. Both clubs recently reached the pinnacle of the competition winning premiership flags in 2021 and 2022 respectively, but before the start of this season, many good judges felt their time had passed - n

    PODCAST: Kade Chandler Interview

    I'm interviewing Melbourne Football Club's small forward Kade Chandler tomorrow for the Demonland Podcast.

If you have any further questions let me know below and I'll see if I can squeeze them in. I will release the podcast at some time tomorrow so stay tuned.

    TRAINING: Monday 29th April 2024

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin was on hand at Gosch's Paddock for Monday's training session and made the following observations. About 38 to 40  players down at training.  BBB walking laps.  Charlie Spargo still in rehab, doing short run throughs.  Christian Salem has full kit on and doing individual work with a trainer. He is is starting to get into some sprints. I cannot see Andy Moniz-Wakefield out there. Jack Viney and Kade Chandler have broken away from the

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f
