Tom Bugg - In trouble? how many weeks? - now with a poll!

[Antares]

Jack Viney took out Shannon Hurn last week, who can't even play this week, and nobody batted an eyelid.

Melbourne are a team of snipers, and it's clear they're using this as a tactic: take out one of the opposition players early and give themselves a better chance of winning the game.

This is exactly why the game needs red cards. Stop listening to the morons crying about how that makes the game 'soft'.

Bugg is going to have a hard time selling his good character.

People genuinely believe Houli has good character, while Bugg is a smart mouthed antagonist most weeks.

 

[Grockadoc]

In terms of acts itself, Bugg's was a whole lot worse than Houli's. Houli's was trying to involve himself in play, Bugg's was just him being the sniping campaigner we all know he is.

Coming down to impact, both resulted in players being unavailable for the rest od the game so both should be considered high.

Based on that, he should get the 4 weeks Houli got, plus another for the bad recors he has at the tribunal.

5 weeks at a minimum.

2, possibly 3

Troll/10

If you're going to chin anyone in the Swans side, surely its Zak Jones?

Mills is pretty unassuming.

Hannebery.

 

[PAFCsince1870]

Six to eight weeks.

Medical report won't be pretty.

 

[ashep]

Pretty much Hall v Stalker except Bugg is weak as piss.

 

[Happy Mastenator]

Houli's was worse and this is coming from a Richmond supporter.

Mills flopped like a fish. Still a dog act that should see him get 3 weeks.

What an idiotic comment

Mills is pretty unassuming.

I don't think anyone wants to punch on with either of the Jones boys.

 

[Dez!]

6 weeks minimum.
Was more vicous and intentional than Houlis and then he's also been suspended before.

More vicious? Debatable seeing as how Mills never lost consciousness.

4-5 weeks.

 

[Fat Nyfe]

Just gotta laugh.

The hounds on bigfooty were baying for blood for Houli to get at least 4 weeks.

But according to the numpties on the 1st page, a clean punch to the face is 2 weeks

 

[Demonic Ascent]

I heard he's converting to Islam at quarter time and gonna umpire the Auskick at half time so only 2 weeks probably

 

[deck]

6 weeks minimum. He was looking at him when he did it so really no room to play with.

 

[Tigez 4 Life]

6-8 Weeks, AFL to make an example of him.

 

[drasticswans]

absolute sniper. should have red cards in afl

Because they've got a few tuff stickers?

 

[Smeg Head]

Considering his form in social media too, I retract my earlier comment. Deregister him for the year.

 

[burningdwarf]

Bugg has been a grub since he came into the system.

Melbourne are becoming pretty floggy.

 

[DemonTim]

4-6 depending on the medical report but it looks like mills is in trouble. Dumb thing to do and deserves everything he gets

 

[Big Wilbur]

Will re-boot the argument for the order off rule. Sydney lose Mills for the game and Melbourne are advantaged. Look for all the statements next week from Melbourne players......we love playing with Buggy. He's a weak dog who knows he is protected from retribution.

 

[Donakebab]

6+ that was utter filth from a cheap hack.

 

[TooBlue14]

If he played for my team I hope they'd find him a further 4 weeks for being a flog. What a tool. He clearly thinks he's something special since he sent a shit photo of himself with the "best pick 1 of all time" and now he's done for 5+. Flog.

 

[Barnzy]

Worst since hall on staker, probably 5-6.

Yeah hard to think of a more intentional bad looking hit since Hall.

Very very similar to that incident with less force. What a week to do it in. Bugg must have the IQ of a brick.
