This Sunday 11.10am at Trevor Barker Oval,Sandringham.

If any Dees fans want to see Scully in one of his last games of the year,he is playing for the Stingrays for only the 4th time this year due to School footy and U/18 carnival committments.

My nephew plays for the Sandy Dragons and i warned him to keep his elbows down around Scully :angry:

It should be a good game as the Sandy Dragons only lost to the undefeated Falcons by 2 goals at Sandy 2 weeks ago,albeit Ben Cunington,Gary Rohan & Allan Christensen weren't playing for the Falcons due to the U/18 carnival.

Jono Nash who is running 3rd in the comp. B & F (according to TAC Future Stars) will take on Scully head to head in what should be a good match up.

Entry is free

Theres a Sandringham v Collingwood VFL game afterwards for those interested - even though there is no MFC connection anymore.

I'll be there.

Tom Scully didn't have a great day yesterday but he moves well and works really hard between contests,a lot harder than anyone we have at the Dees.He played forward flank all day with a run in the middle for 10 minutes in the last 1/4.

He is a very good kick on both sides of his body and you wouldn't know if he was left or right if you didn't know before the game,in fact my brother said he's a left footer,i honestly thought he was a right footer,he's that good and beautifully balanced both sides.

A lot of left footers,Green & Davey included don't have a great right boot and Davey got caught on Queen's B'day on his wrong side on at least 4 occasions and had to go back onto his left,the Pies took his left side space and forced him onto his right,teams soon work you out and Davey has suffered a bit this year,so it's great to see Scully equally at home on both sides.

He doesn't have the left foot penetration of Daniel Rich,but Rich gets his penetrating power from his big rump/hips,Scully is very slight but will build up in the coming years.I stood behind him at the 1/4 time huddle and he is 180-182cm tops.One thing Scully has in spades is his toughness,he flattened blokes a lot bigger than him and dives into the bottom of packs and has lightning hands in heavy traffic.He's extremely fit and runs all day without a rest.

I would say he has as good a kick, accuracy wise, but less penetrating than Daniel Rich and the toughness of Joel Selwood and reads the play very well and is beautifully balanced both sides of his body and great in heavy traffic but it was U/18 level.

We need him in our midfield round 1 next year.

Dont even bother posting Tom Scully threads anymore because we aren't going to get him, have you looked at the ladder? With Freo, richmond, north and sydney still to come, we blew our chance yesterday.
