He'd need to push out someone like Harmes or Melksham. I'm not sure a push would do it, maybe a left uppercut.

    Not sure he's ever been a walk up start in the seniors... in fact, one of the most frustrating parts of his brain-fart was that we'd already been decimated by injuries.

    Nope. Casey for me. People that can kick goals not points in the side thank.

    Some good performances at Casey and or a few lack luster/tired injuried players in the seniors and he could quickly find his way back in.  He should be fresh as a daisy, hungry and out to prove a point which could make him a good inclusion against Collingwood and or first week of finals.

    If true that is total bollocks.

    He stuffed up and has paid his penalty.

    I totally agree, jnr.  He paid his penalty with 6 weeks of no football and, from all reports, he has put his head down and worked extremely hard on the track for each of those weeks he missed.

    I still think he'll make his way back through Casey, but I'd happily welcome him back into the side if he was picked.

    Tomas Bugg needs to earn back trust? What, are his teammates afraid he might him them? Contemporary society is just so full of nonsense.

  • Quote

    Definitely Casey, he's not a walk up start. If he puts in a blinder for Casey he's a chance for Collingwood.

  • Quote

    Depending on how he and the other hopefuls at Casey go, he could be a good exchange to give Petracca a spell for a week, should Trac's performance against the Lions not be at full intensity.

    A fully fit and focused Bugg could be the perfect player against the Pies.  Hope he has practiced his goal kicking in his time off.

    He might 'him' them?

     I don't want to know what that might involve ;-)

    He should be fit at least and will rip it up at Casey hopefully. I do feel sorry for him, as stupid as it was. If his points were goals (most easy) he would've been a standout. Wish him well

    Bit rich for Stevo to rule him out for the year. Had we had a stinker on the weekend a lot would be calling for his return, but Melksham was very good.

    Melksham has been good to very good for a while now.  If anything, he was one of the beneficiaries of Bugg's suspension.  He has locked down that half forward role really well, almost to the point that there isn't a spot in our 22 for Bugg at the moment.

    If Goody wants him in I have no problems with him going straight into the AFL side. We've missed him in the side, and i dont think the incident was as bad as some have said

    ^This

    Plus by all accounts his response and training standards while doing his time have been exemplary. 

    The value of a hard at it player with 6 weeks rest at the pointy end of the season cannot be underestimated.

    Tomy Bugg could be a very useful player in September if we make it. 

    We have missed his spirit in the fwd line. 

    I hope what Ch7 reported is crap

    Malcom Turnbull vetoed a return via the 2s.

    I heard that too but reckon it is a load of [censored]. If his form warrants selection we will select him.

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
