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

[Marc_Remillard]

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'.

Didn't see many Brisbane fans complaining when they previously did the same thing

6.

straight to the Tribunal, no chance for a week off with an early guilty plea.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

5, pretty much the Hall incident with a smaller body behind it.

 

[JayJ20]

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.

Lol that's not a flop. He punched him in the face and Mills is now out of the game

 

[legend166]

Other than the fact that her doesn't have the same power as Hall, I'm not sure how it's much different than the Staker punch?

Just clocked a guy who wasn't even looking at him.

Now we're down to three on the bench in a must win game.

Has to be 6 at a minimum.

 

[Marc_Remillard]

Whatever he gets add one more week for being an idiot

 

[GiantOrange]

Should be 7 week's fullstop.... The afl will let him plead guilty and he will get 6 week's..

 

[Whowants2know]

Bugger me.

You carn't do that. Thinking 5 or 6

 

[puddingfactor]

4 weeks - but upgraded to 6 when he uses Tony Abbott as a character reference.

 

[Deep]

Its ridiculous he is still allowed on the field after that. The league needs a send off rule for incidents like this.

I get why ppl are pissed but this should never ever happen. It didn't in the 80s when it really should've and now it shouldn't

 

[Harris Specter]

Going to be interesting to see Melbourne supporters try and defend this when they were convinced that Schofield had absolutely touched Oliver in the previous week. Minimum 5+ weeks for a sniping thug and a huge fine to go along with it.

If AFL are serious about stamping this out, they'll take this as a good example and hopefully introduce the concept of red cards. Will make players think twice about carrying out such a pathetic and horrible act.

 

[Yellow Feathers]

Jesus. After the week we just had with the media flooded with the Houli story... Bugg goes and does that?!?

What. An. Idiot. 6 weeks minimum.

 

[Beer n Skittles]

Lewis only copped 3 weeks for breaking Cripps' jaw with a similar punch

 

[GiantOrange]

Bugg has a bad record with suspension hasn't he?

 

[tigers47]

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

Stop talking shit

 

[STPer18]

AFL really did a great job of stamping this stuff out by giving Hawkins 2 weeks for a push of the jumper to the chest.

Jack Viney took out Shannon Hurn with minutes to go as he went for the ball.
Lewis hit Cripps late in the 3rd, and as much it means nothing when it come to suspensions, they were scuffling together - it wasn't an 'intentional' take out. Same with Hogan and Rowe.

Funny that they use this as a tactic but it's only happened once.

Bugg is scum for what he did but let's just put it all back in our pants. Hardly 'clear' and hardly evidence to go attacking the likes of Goodwin.

 

[Boxx]

Whatever Barry Hall got for knocking out Staker is what Bugg the filthy dog should get!

 

[Scholz Supremacy]

Minimum of 5 weeks

 

[footycats007]

Christ almighty. What a dog act. Bugg is an absolute thug. Perfect example for the AFL to show its strong stance on incidents like this. If this was real life, he'd probably be spending time in prison for that.

 

[HeHateMe]

If say 8 weeks, high contact, intentional, high force, behind play, bringing the game into disrepute.

The Viney Family is not known for their good "sportsmanship"

Bugg must get Houli plus, meaning 4+.

 

[ashep]

Because they've got a few tuff stickers?

Blah, for some reason I had it in my head they were a boxing family. Got it wrong.

 

[HumanMeatball]

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

Mills is pretty unassuming.

You can't say comments like this, going on what a certain someone told me

 

[Yellow Feathers]

Bugg is a bit of a lad, isn't he? Has a lot of growing up to do. Prize dickhead.
