    Will be more than that I think and so it should. 

    Dumb, counter productive and self destructive.

    Swans will use it.  

    It wouldn't be unreasonable.

    They keep showing it on TV and it makes me feel sick. On further reflection, @Deestroy All is probably right. 6 and career - how could the coach or his teammates ever trust him again?

    6 weeks and if our depth plays like Wagner and White played - we will see him again.

    I don't really care if we do or we don't - we had some senior players do stupid things at the start of the year, but this is the kind of distraction that might cost him another contract.

    And the fact your quick to defend him is disgusting. Your probably one of those flogs that was calling Oliver weak as [censored] during the week.

    Refex action 4-6

    Looking at Bugg deliberately punching a bloke in the jaw, with enough force that he had to sit out the while game.

    Deserves a long break

    Was a stupid act by Bugg one which hurt the whole team, the only defence i can give is that it was reactionary. If he is really lucky four weeks,

    Complete dog act and has thrown his game off.  

    Hate seeing him strutting around with a ripped guernsey like some tough-guy after throwing a sucker-punch like that.

    He definitely wasn't strutting around. You could see he let the sydney players push him around after it. It looks like he regrets it and it had a big weighting on the rest of his game.

    Would assume he'll be gone for quite a few weeks, and he was only just holding onto his place anyway. Will struggle to appear at AFL level again this season. Serves him right, idiotic and shameful thing to do.

    Stupid git is going to miss a flag, that'll be a lesson to others.

  • Quote

    An act of mindless idiotic thuggery. 4 to 6 weeks at least, but I'd sit him out for the rest of the season. Not what we want this club to be.

    Resllt..he swung...he happened to get him.

    I bet if given 30 chances he'd hardly EVER snot him.

    So much over action fmd

  • Quote

    Making no excuses for Bugg, but when are they going to start cracking down on all these little body punches players are throwing all the time?

    Saw it with Thompson a couple of weeks ago drawing a reaction from Reiwoldt. Here Mills throws the body punch and Bugg reacted.

    Two wrongs dont make a right, but still...

    Geez, seriously, can this club have just ONE week in the media where the focus isn't on something negative? This will be replayed every night for the next 7 days, following the Oliver hit (which the media gleefully decided to label a dive), following the non-issue Instagram post from Bugg...

    Yeah, I'm sure he was just flailing his arm around. Didn't mean to make a fist and smack him straight in the jaw.

    Was a poor effort, he has acknowledged it. Take his wackers and move on

  • Quote

    I don't know what's worse, Bugg or supporters taking his actions lightly. 

    It's a shameful unnecessary thing to do. It's flat out assault. It's not ok, and it's embarrassing to see someone wearing our jumper behaving like this. 

    Our jumper is sacred. You wear it and you represent my club with this sort of crap? Not on your life buddy.

    Watched the whole game, 'Champ'. Still sitting here watching the post-game review.

    How about you play the ball and not the player. Bugg stuffed up. Time to get over it and move on

    I dont think anyone is supporting what he did but we can support the young man . 

  • Quote

    I think it is fair to say the demons just ran out of personnel tonight, not helped of course by Bugg's mad act. I suspect we will never see him in a Dees jumper again. That is not what we want to be about, and if left unchecked destroys the culture of the team and the club. I really hope the club takes a very strong stand on this, unless there was a very very good reason for the act which hasn't come to light yet, but seemingly with no video evidence, which means it was verbal which means Bugg is a sook and a coward, so he has no place in the Club anyway. Time for strong action here.

    i would suggest 8-10 weeks which would be season ending and almost definitely career ending, at least in the AFL. Deservedly too I would suggest. This simply can't be tolerated, either on the football field, or in society in general

    I've been satisfied with Bugg's contribution up until now ............. but tonight he let himself and the team down.  There's still a good chance that the Dees will see some action in September, and a fair chance that Tom won't be part of it.

    I reckon it was very crude and no excuses.

    He will get even more than Hoult so 5-6 likely?

    He was obviously not thinking and our club should have made sure that the head is sacrosanct after last week. That should have been drilled into all players.

    Just saw his interview and Well done.

    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 ?

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
