BPL kicks of its first season for 2008 on Thursday 14 February, and its an honour for the Brisbane Ultimate Blog to continue its preview of with the juggernaut that is the two-teamed Moreton Bay Buggers Club.
The Moreton Bay Buggers name has been synonymous with Brisbane Ultimate for several years. The Buggers were originally a Brisbane all-star team that played at Nationals up to 2005, then a distinct Club for Nationals 2006 and BPL since then. In late 2007, the Buggers fielded two teams in the BPL, the Crusty Buggers and the Fresh Buggers.In 2008, two new playing teams have been selected - the Messy Bugs and the Slippery Bugs. The teams splits are designed to be as even as possible and don’t have a themed structure such as the Crusty and Fresh teams from last season.
Squad List: Messy Buggers
Captain: Michael Neild
New players: George Salisbury (Rookie), Kristan Elvish (Rookie), Carl Peters (Rookie), Reese Stewart (Rookie)

Squad List: Slippery Buggers

The Moreton Bay Buggers are the only Club in Queensland boast their own dedicated blog (link on the right) for all your Bugger trivia needs (like their famed 'nights out').
The Moreton Bay Buggers are the only team (I think) with a high school student on it. Oh yeah, and Mike Neild was BPL MVP a couple of times too (sorry for forgetting the first time, Mike).
Bugger Me! Some of the 2007 Bugs.

The buggers in red are going to be a bit painful on the eyes ... (more than usual anyway).
