Tomas BUGG

2017 Digest:   Played a handy role in first year at the club in 2016, but faces a fight for playing time this year. Steady in JLT outings.

2017 NAB Cup:  

2017 Season

1		–
2		–
3		Senior emergency.
4	Frem	Did a good job early on Neale to restrict his impact but the little Docker then got motoring to be a big presence with four goals.	5
5	VFL	Bobbed up everywhere in the front half to end with a career-best five goals. Had 32 touches too.	–
6	Ess	Returned to the team and had a few good touches, but wasn’t really a factor overall.	3
7	Haw	Never able to impact flow of game or tempo of play. When he gets it not a lot happens despite 20 touches.	4
8	Adel	Pushed forward for two goals late in the second term to get the Demons rolling.	6
9	NM	Got caught in the grill a few times and missed four chances for goal. Could have been a good day but wasn’t.	4
10	GCS	Can’t afford to continually miss shots for goal as a forward. Now has 0.7 in past fortnight. Pressure good though.	5
11		Bye.
12	Coll	Poor first half, but some of his competing in the air and tackling after main break in attack were important.	5
13	WB	A pre-game Instagram photo ignited tensions, but he backed up the lip with his actions. Good outing.	7
14	WCE	No Instagramming but not a big impact either.	4
15	Syd	Crude hit on Mills in first term will earn a long suspension. Then hardly saw the Sherrin. See you in late August.	2
16		Suspended.
17		Suspended.
18		Suspended.
19		Suspended.
20		Suspended.
21		Suspended.
22	VFL	Worked into the game after a long layoff and was handy. 24 possessions.	–
23	VFL	Werribee didn’t allow him much space and kept him well in check.	–

2016 Season

1	GWS	Limited impact against his former club playing on a wing with 13 touches.	4
2	Ess	Kicked to 50/50s far too often when better options were available.	3
3	NM	Not his best day in midfield or across half forward. Made a few errors by foot but tackled hard.	5
4	Coll	Racked up possessions at half back and laid team-high nine tackles. Efficiency down a tad.	8
5	Rich	Got in the face of the Tigers all night and backed up with steady play. Handy.	5
6	StK	Ran hard and was one of the better performed Demons.	6
7	GCS	Led the way at the stoppages with eight clearances, and also seven tackles.	8
8	WB	Works hard but at times plays like a headless chook at others. Nine tackles.	3
9	Bris	Good ball winner from start to finish in midfield. Made a few odd decisions, but strong outing.	7
10	Port	Worked through midfield and won a bit of ball but not his most effective performance.	5
11	Haw	Played off half back and through middle. OK without setting the world on fire.	5
12	Coll	Tagged Sidebottom and kept him to 10 disposals after quarter time.	8
13	Syd	Played in midfield and half back. Won a bit of ball but too many small handballs.	5
15	Adel	Came off bench to run with Sloane but dropped on and off from run-with role. OK.	5
16	VFL	Bye.	–
17	VFL	Not overly influential with just 15 touches in midfield battle.	–
18	VFL	Worked hard in midfield rotation to get ball going Casey’s way.	–
19		Senior emergency.
20	Haw	Two second-half goals proved crucial and went to Rioli to try to quell him.	6
21	Port	Two goals from the midfield while running with Boak and R. Gray for long periods.	7
22	Carl	Poor early turnover cost a goal and set the tone. Tried hard but not his best day.	4
23	Geel	Horrible performance. Get rid of the ridiculous mo and try to get a kick.	1

2015 Season

Played for : GWS Giants

1	StK	Drew ire of Saints’ fans after crude bump on Riewoldt late. Handy effort.	6
2	Melb	Tracked Garlett and shut him out after half time.	6
3	Syd	Not much went right for the defender who will need to bounce back.	3
4	GCS	Battled hard and did all the gritty things a good team needs.	6

20	Port	Restricted Boak to 11 disposals for the first three quarters.	7
21	Syd	Put the clamps on Hannebery to be one of GWS’s few winners.	7
22	Carl	Put hand up for new contract by adding two goals in midfield role.	7
23	Melb	Niggled away all afternoon at Brayshaw then Garlett.	5

18	Geel	Plugged away across half back and was serviceable all night.	6
19	Rich	Took Martin when forward and did well enough but the Tiger kicked two.	5
20	NM	Clamped onto Harvey and did a great job until half time. The old fella got away then.	6
21	Melb	Defensive work superb and took one towering contested mark.	8
22	Coll	Shadowed Sidebottom but couldn’t curtail his impact in important moments.	5
