    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.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
