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 ;)

    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.

    • 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.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
