He's starting his career as an Instagram Influencer like his girlfriend

 

[james Dean]

This preseason is becoming a dark comedy

He would have been a depth player anyway. Highly doubt he would have played any more than 6 games

Better now Esky with the new rules in place.

Easily replaced.

 

[Metalcrusher]

I mean if a player on our list had to immediately retire today this was the best option

??!?!!?! best option???

Kinda like ...

Well done to the club on identifying this potential issue before they picked him up.

took you almost 10 minutes to double the negative..........slipping.........

Gosh

Thank god for the new rules I say.

Surely Mick Gibbons becomes official now? 2 more spots left to replace Doc and Bugg.

Bugg seemed to be going well in training and I was looking forward to his aggression. His whole post season plea for someone to give him another shot rings a little hollow. I mean ... opportunity elsewhere is fine and all but you either have the passion to play AFL or you don't.

Big Australia Day long w/end, bugger this, I’m outta here.

 

[thylacine60]

when is anything like this haunted shit going to happen to *?

 

[Ninja Worrier]

Perfect, opens up a spot for Albert Proud

 

[Styxx]

So that better mean we have 3 list spots now.

With Doc and Pickett out we are 5 down as of now.

If the club wants to take some heat iff itself they should sign Gibbons now. Otherwise we are going to be dragged over hit coals, nude, face down

It's called sarcasm. I rarely use it but the club deserved it in this case.

 

[passmark]

Not too sure if some don't realise but Bugg was recruited as a Rookie.

I think it's more the cumulative effect of a number of bad news stories so far this pre-season.

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

He couldn’t have figured this out last year?

 

[Teagueeee15]

Sam Fisher would be a decent replacement styles wise, hopefully he gets given a go.

With all due respect, as Aphrodite said, he was a rookie pick, and with his personal baggage, was always a high risk, high reward type pick

The club cannot be faulted for trying to select the best available talent at its disposal, in years to come Bugg will regret he pissed his second (and likely only) chance at AFL level.

Its easy to pot the club and Bugg, but we don't know the entire story. I am pissed off, but ain't losing any sleep over it, we only need fully committed players at the club, at any rate.

 

[Metalcrusher]

Gibbons to Bugg be like ...

Sounds intriguing .
Tell me more about this naked face own coal surfing .

True passy but I am not fussed at all.

Easily replaced.

 

[ShanDog]

OK.

 

[WFGodot]

Gotta laugh, get given a lifeline and take a sh1t on it. Better now than mid sesson though. See ya... you can’t script this stuff.
We need s new thread, pick the next preseason shenanigans.

Only 2 now, rookie spots.
Docherty & Pickett list space pending the season write off & replacement.
