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

[Marc_Remillard]

Yep, but even if that is the case, it wasn't in the immediate vision -so it's a bad look. Bugg is in trouble.

So you agree with me

Thanks for clearing that up

What did he do?

he seemed reasonably intent on at least having words. possibly more the umpires had to sheperd him away from the melb bench. he was not a happy camper

 

[Reserves_dud]

Pretty stupid of the swans to get te free kick reversed though

 

[Big Wilbur]

And that houli at least had some provocation. Bugg had none.

Provocation?

6 - Deliberate, high contact, severe impact

Two weeks with afl happy

Provocation?

Can't really be bothered going back to this can we-but Houli was getting scragged, out of play, as he tried to run forward.
Mills was just standing there.
It's different.

So scragging is worse than a punch?

Irrelevant anyway

To be fair it looked like Bugg did an Odiver...

Pretty weak for the umpire to pay it

Yep it is irrelevant but as I have already said-the so called mills punch was not visible when bugg whacked him. So it looks completely unprovoked.

 

[Aeglos]

What a surprise.....Bugg came from GWS where it seems being a nob is compulsory.

Zaine Cordy likes this.

I don't see how this is any different to Barry Halls. If anything Bugg's was worse as he was looking at the player the whole time where as Hall started swinging when Staker was behind him. Minimum 6 weeks!

Be surprised if it even gets a mention
You can clothesline players and nothing happens
What's wrong with a left hook?

4 weeks, but that actually benefits Melbourne.

All seriousness, what an absolute stupid, ****ing idiotic campaigner. After the week that's just gone, he goes and does something like that. Suspend him, heck, relegate him to the VFL for the rest of the year too.

 

[telsor]

Not really, Houli turned around, looked at the guy and then hit him in the head.

Bugg, looked at the guy and then hit him in the head.

The only difference is that Houli has some high profile friends.

I'd suggest you open the other eye, but I'm not sure you have one open to start with.

 

[BBC1967]

Some very sanctimonious Melborne supporters bagging Houli in the past week have gone missing .....just like their team tonight. Clear King Hit!

 

[Zyzz]

Its clearly not a football movement or act so why arent these players punished by the law like everyone else ?

 

[tigernsw]

Bugg isn't really AFL standard anyway. VFL player. Probably seen the last of him at this level anyway.

 

[BotsMaster]

Because it's just a game

 

[Bunk Moreland]

If the victim wanted to press charges they could.

But where there's an industry tribunal process in place the cops are happy to leave it to them. Probably got other stuff to deal with.

Go watch some suburban football, punch in the face behind play is a pretty common football act
