2016

After playing every match in the 2016 NAB Challenge and being named as one of the "eye-catching" players during the pre-season by AFL Media, Bugg made his debut for Melbourne in the opening round of the season against his old side, Greater Western Sydney at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in a two-point win. He drew negative attention during the 33-point win against Richmond at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in the annual Anzac Day eve match for two separate incidents, the first where he pushed Jack Riewoldt when he was injured and Bugg received a $1000 fine from the match review panel for "making contact with an injured player". The second incident was his celebration after kicking his only goal for the match, where he put his finger to his mouth to silence the Richmond cheer squad with a wink, which drew displeasure from the commentators. He later apologised for both incidents. He played every match for the season until the round 16 match against Fremantle at TIO Stadium, and played in the Victorian Football League (VFL) for Melbourne's affiliate team, the Casey Scorpions, before returning to the senior side for the 29-point win against Hawthorn at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in round 20 and played the remainder of the season in the seniors.

During the match, he collided with St Kilda captain, Nick Riewoldt, which saw Riewoldt sent to hospital for precautionary scans, the collision drew the ire of St Kilda coach, Alan Richardson who labelled it "poor", with the public and media pondering whether the act was deliberate. He was ultimately cleared by the match review panel where they deemed "Riewoldt stepped into Bugg's path and he was unable to avoid contact" and he later confirmed that the collision was unintentional. He played the first twelve matches for the season before he was omitted for the first match after the mid-season bye, the round fourteen clash against Richmond at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. He returned to the senior side for the twenty-one point loss against Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval in round twenty and played the remainder of the season. In August, it was revealed that GWS were yet to offer him a contract and speculation grew that he would return to his home state of Victoria after several clubs expressed interest in him.

He returned to the senior side for the forty-five point win against Brisbane at the Gabba in round thirteen where he was a late replacement for Aidan Corr. During the match, he was involved in a marking contest where his hip collided with Jonathan Brown's head, which subsequently forced Brown into retirement after receiving too many head knocks. After receiving the reputation of being "one of the best nigglers in the competition", he was involved an incident in round fifteen where he bumped Sydney captain, Kieren Jack, which drew condemnation from the public, in particular from Australian Football Hall of Fame member, Tony Shaw who described the bump as "pretty ordinary". He was involved in further incidents, which saw both St Kilda's, Maverick Weller and Fremantle's, Hayden Ballantyne suspended for striking him, and North Melbourne's, Sam Gibson suspended for rough conduct.
