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,

    After 2 Rounds:

    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.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
