Now, I know Bryce Gibbs was made a part of the Carlton leadership group before he'd even played a game, but we seem to have taken it to a new level with a player coming out and making statements for the club before he's even drafted...

Scully backs Watts to find form

I'll get in first - MAKE HIM CAPTAIN!

    Yep scully for captain. Judd got to be captain without playing a game for carlton. Why not scully? He's already our best midfielder.

    This conjecture is just too ridiculous for words - Scully may be better on a flank !

    You obviously haven't seen him play.

    We're not recruiting a half forward with pick 1 in the draft

    I think we should take Scully at number 1 but recruit him as a fullback

    To anyone that has seen Skully play...

    How good is this kid really?

    Will he def go at number 1?

    He's been likened to Chris Judd quite a bit... is there any truth?

    Does he have potential to be a Chris Judd type champion later in his career?

    To answer your questions, GOOD! YES! YES! YES!

    No pressure on the kid. Seen him play from the under 13's up, his endurance is incredible.

    Simply watching him today, he had a lot of Chris Judd about him (and that's not including the head strapping :P ). He was the one that basically, single-handedly kept his team in it, during the third term. His hands seem to be his fortay, whilst he can kick, with penetration on either side of his body. He might not have the same ability to break a tackle, as Judd has, nor perhaps the pace, but everything else, I'd liken to Judd, purely on todays performance.

    I don't know how he is on a short burst, but he matches up pretty well over distance with Judd. I'm sure someone can dig up the 3km time trial scores for him.

    • 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.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
