Tom Bugg gone

Looks like Tom has been told services no longer required
 

 

 

glad to see him go but disappointed we didnt make a trade for him- would get a game at carlton

Best of luck to Buggy. 

He was going okay until he punched Mills. He was never the same player, or probably rated as highly by the FD, ever again. 

 

2017 was a great year for Tom that ended with the game against the Swans.

Thought he would make it back in 2018 but it was not to be.

Thanks Tom.

you're disappointed in missing out on a pick in the 60's ? He has no trade value

Thanks Tom, Im not sure the club gave you quite the protection you needed after the Mills incident. But he was always a heart and soul player. Crap shot at goal lol...but a heart and souler.

a pick in the 60s would still help

Agreed 100%...

Fringe player who killed any momentum to cement his spot with a stupid punch.  Likely to be picked up as a free agent. 

Thanks Tom, was hoping you could get more games, but it didn’t happen. 

You made Hardware Lane...


He made an AFL list and played a few games, which is more that most of us here can boast.

Sorry that he didn't make the grade with us.

I think these days the clubs see if any interest and if none then delist. They all do it.

thanks buggy. Unfortunately hung up to dry for his hit on Mills. Not the first player to have a brain fade. Some players Goodwin just doesn't favour and Bugg was one of them. 

Says a bit about the club when players of Bugg's quality are delisted in their prime.  An excellent runner and tough too.  I expect him to get picked up.

Good to see him exiting with class.  no more junior or beamer debacles


He was going well until that game against the Swans. Good luck Tom i finding a new home.

We must have a few coming in.

It shows how one brain fade can knock you on your arze in any walk of life.

Gaff and Bugg basically threw similar punches (though Gaff's connected way worse based on the severity of injury inflicted) but sadly for Tom, Gaff is an A grader at his best while Tom was always depth/a role player.

 

Wasn't the hit on Mills it was the fact that his disposal by foot could be terrible at times - it just was not up to AFL standard.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

  • PREGAME: St. Kilda

    With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.
