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.

    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? ;)

    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.

    Scully is a freak.

    Good lord.

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

  • Quote

    Scully will be ready to go from Round 1.

    And he will make an impact right off the bat.

  • Quote

    You know what the best thing about Tom Scully is?

    He's ours, all ours, WoooooHoooooHaaaaaHaaaaaa

  • Quote

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

    Amazing footballer already!

    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.

    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:

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
