It's from Sunday's Herald Sun on the SuperFooty website. A good read.

    Sounds like from Day 1 he will slip into the best 22 of whoever drafts him and make an impact.

    Hopefully it is us.

    Nice article, stuff like this is what's going to make the next 4 months bearable. Bring on November!

    I knew when I was in the under-14s and all my mates were out going to parties and drinking, but I was in the Stingrays and all I wanted to do was really make it there, so I just said then, 'I'm not going to do that stuff'."

    wow drinking and partying @ 13 they start young in the Dandenong area

    anyway Scully sounds like he is just what we need @ melbourne all the talk is we need forwards but once Watts Comes on in 2-3 years we will be ok in that area with Bate , Maric, Wona, Jurrah, Miller, Petterd to support. THe midfield is what worries me most at the moment no speed or class and this guys has both

    He won All-Australian honours at the national under-18 carnival last year as a bottom age player, and recently showed his first-class fitness, blitzing a 3km time trial in 9min 27sec.

    To put that into context, Chris Judd broke a Carlton record running 3.2km in 10:30 in December.

    is this faster than bail?

    that means to beat chriss judd, he has over a minute to run a further 200m.

    that is not bad at all

    That is getting a good start on it. lol

    If we go the way we are, we may end up with one and two in the draft.

    Yeah i grew up in Broady and u 14's is about right.

    I agree with you 100% about our midfield. We are screaming out for a classy player who can run all day, win clearances etc.

    Ive played against scully and his what we need, hes quick and has great acceleration and he just to contest to contest so quickly with or midfeild struggling for speed we should get him if given the chance.

  • Quote

    We are in need of a genuine A grade midfielder. Scully sounds like he's ready made. As much as this season is going to hurt, it seems it will be well worth the pain.

  • Quote

    Add him and Butcher. All of a sudden our prospective side looks very very good.

  • Quote

    Watched this kid as a junior, he played in the same league as my brother. He was nigh on unstoppable then and he's only gotten better. His skills were always brilliant, combined with the running he's added to his game over the past couple of years, he will be a star. We need to do whatever it takes to get this kid to the club. Not saying he's the answer to all our problems, but definately a few of them.

  • Quote

    it would be great to get a talented midfielder that we wont have to worry about having an alcohol problem like sylvia to waste away their talents!

  • Quote

    I've seen Scully a few times and he looks great - smooth and makes the right decisions. He'd be plug and play.

    And without exageration, he'd already be in our best side. You'd be looking at a Rich/Palmer scenario.

    Cool He sounds like another Chris Judd type. Great, these are the players we need before Demetrio's Psycho love child GC17 gets to rape & pillage the Draft.

    We are the last club to prosper from victoria for the next 10 years. Maybe i can bare the humiliation of this Cold & Bitter year after all.

    I still want to win a few games this year, we must to keep the kids & sponsors interested. A fine balancing act.

    I'd love you to spell his name right considering he'll be playing for us next year.

    stats for key forwards, i dont mind taking scully first as long as we have pick two aswell, it was only 4-5 years ago Neitz was getting doubled teamed. Blease and Strauss should help our midfield out when playing

    those in the know say hes a great player but how many inside players do you need,

    I know it's easy because you're a Melbourne supporter but don't always equate 'inside' with being slow.

    We don't have an elite midfielder and we desperately need a few. Scully would be right at the top of our wishlist.

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
