2009 NAB U-18 National Champs @ Etihad Stadium

First time I saw Butcher, and was left highly disappointed.

He really didn't stand out at this level with his marking, and given his size he should. Don't know how he'll transfer his skills against much bigger bodies.

After that performance, I would be disappointed if we went for him over a skillful midfielder (although it is a bit harsh to judge him after seeing him live once!)

Scully coming up!

Trengove on Scully which makes it easier to watch both!

If we find our posts from last year, one No 2 draft pick was also unimpressive.

Agree. Scully got shoved by Trengove into the ground had to go off with blood nose. Not sure if its broken at the ground. Perhaps those in the luxury of their living rooms can inform. Both reasonably quiet although Scully has immediate impact with his first time grabs and sheer running ability to create and apply defensive pressure.

Find my thoughts on Naitanui from last year.

I was the only one said after the game he would be a superstar and we must take him at number 1.

Anyone who thinks he was unimpressive from last years game has rocks in their head.

Well not unimpressive, he just didnt do a lot.

I can't believe Josh Toy just turned 17. The guy looks about 25 years old.

I like that Scully just runs and runs and runs.

Fitzpatrick has showed a bit. Any chance he'll make it to 18?

[Carn dees 108]

Yep scully with 14 possies up until half time after a quiet first quarter due to going of with a blood nose.

Trengove has been ok.

Panos pretty quiet.

Sittig behind the Vic metro bench. That blood nose reminded me of something that happened here a few weeks ago.

I saw Gary Rohan play for the Falcons against Sandy,who my nephew plays for and he's going to be a great pick up even though he's very raw still.

He's very quick and agile for his size and great below his knees.

I still say we take the best mid and best KPF.

Richmond took the 2 best mids (at the time)in Deledio and Tambling and Hawthorn took the 2 best KPF's.

Richmond should have taken the best mid,Deledio and best KPF,Roughead.

Buddy didn't have as good a carnival as Roughead.

lol, what was that?

Scully looks very impressive. Just keeps running. Just kicked a great goal where he was involved in a chain of handballs which he gave and got 2 or 3 handballs before accelerating and finishing on his left.

Trengove's disposal is tidy. He has delivered a couple of pin point passes to the SA forwards.

[JACKATTACK 17]

Scully, gun. Even with his nose taped up.

[Yze_Magic 3]

Scully is a freak.

Good lord.

[JACKATTACK 17]

[Guest Rojik of the Arctic]

Scully.... Ball magnet. How good will his tank be after a couple of pre-seasons at the big level?

[Yze_Magic 3]

Scully will be ready to go from Round 1.

And he will make an impact right off the bat.

[Roost It 1,434]

You know what the best thing about Tom Scully is?

He's ours, all ours, WoooooHoooooHaaaaaHaaaaaa

[Jaded No More 68,878]

I'm happy to lose every game for the rest of the year just to get Scully.

Amazing footballer already!

[Guest Rojik of the Arctic]

Shame Toy isn't on this years list. Would take him in a moment.

I know! Bl##dy GC17!! Ah well. Happy with the Sculls. I reckon he will be a lock in at #1 now.

What about that possible pic2 i honestly have no idea who id pic, trengove just went out of it after the first qaureter and a bit barely noticed him after that?

Maybe it was just me.

i agree.. after the first quarter he looked amazing and i was thinking hell yeah.. two gun midfielders.. we are set!!

..then he just went missing for the rest of the game! its probably hard to judge him on one game! he has had a few matches with 30 possessions so he will probably still be worth the 2nd pick! he is a good size too!

Scully and best KPF.We're not going to make Richmond's mistake of taking the 2 best mids (at the time) and leaving the 2 best KPF's to win their team a flag.

End of story. :angry:
