Don’t think we will really miss either of you really if he is selected but tell me were you planning on flying to Alice for the match?

I will be there, Bugg or not, but if Bugg is playing, I will feel dudded.

Was considering.

Bugg is not a quality AFL player. 

He is for the delist pile.

Well please attend no matter who the FD selects. They know best,  but yes there were some circumstances last season where they...... OH no need to go there!

Well people who have not played at this level keep saying such I know. But he has a habit of being at the drop of the ball in the forward line. If he could kick straight he would be a weapon as he usually seems to get 4 or 5 shots at goal. He also adds a bit of unsociable football, but that needs to be managed I agree but he has defensive forward skills, so in my eyes he is a chance for a game this week, but what would I know.

bugg is excellent depth, so why would you delist him?

Forgive us for not all being ex-AFL players. 

Seriously this is one of the most infuriating things anyone can say on a football forum. 

Bugg’s doing the right thing by playing well at Casey but he was woeful in the seniors this year and whilst he was in the right spot often enough, he too regularly either didn’t want the ball or turned it over. We are also “unsociable” enough without him. He won’t be getting a game for being “unsociable” alone, either.

NO CHANGE.

Unless there are late injuries during the week.

Who plays the defensive forward role on Laird?

Sorry for that comment, didn’t know you would be so sensitive about it. But Bugg does get a lot of forward opportunities when he plays, think he got a few goals in an early game in the ones. Then he struggled like a few others like Garlett in our hopelessly congested forward setup in rounds 1 to 5. He still offers something I believe, although no automatic pick I agree, I prefer Jeffy for his X factor but he can go missing. 

[buck_nekkid 5,866]

I watched the Casey goals.  It is difficult to draw any line through that as the footage looked like we were playing a team of non AFL standard.  Pedo took some strong marks, but the pressure applied in those contests looked 2nd rate at best.

i simply don’t know how to rate the performances.  Maybe relative to each other?  Maybe work rate and two way efforts?

 I know Smith is 27 but a debut of 18 disposals and 5 marks and 5 tackles is a pretty good debut( albeit it was in a team that was in red hot form and demolished and insipid opposition)

(albeit it wasn’t his debut)

[goodwindees 2,488]

I expect that because the game is in Alice Springs and we have totally committed to this NT thing then they’ll drop Spargo for Garlett. 

I will find it very disappointing but Can’t have Eddie Betts hogging all the indigenous limelight.

I think you both missed the original typo was Garrett.

[Adam The God 30,261]

No change. Spargo is already one of my favourites. Rarely wastes a disposal and provides good pressure.

If there's any change it's Bernie for Hunt or Garlett.

Lol. I don't like him as a player either, but I wouldn't not attend a game because he was playing. Ridiculous.
