Far out.

It's begun already. I thought I could last until September and then bugger off for a while.

You're contracted.

What will D'Land get in return?

I just don't see this move working out...

    Yes on Scully. Don't know about Trengrove but he's doing well in the SANFL.

    I believe so.

    Scully will play just as many as a Rich this year IMO. He's that good.

    Trengove will be ready, he's been playing for Sturt of late and playing well. Becoming accustomed to 'hard bodies' in at Senior level.

    Others may have different opinions.

    Thanks Guys i saw a lot of WAFL games last year through work at the ABC, but we don't get the interstate Feeds this year.

    Last year i watched Rich Nik Nat (freak Talent) & Taylor walker all evolve-was great. I can't hate 'em!!!

    Our young must be that good & Better.....

    Are Scully & Trengove as "ready made" as Daniel Rich.

    The difference between Rich and both Trengove and Scully is that Rich has an unbelievable physique. He has such a huge amount of muscle bulked onto his frame for an 18/19 year old, that even people who train 10 years might struggle to achieve. He is just lucky that his body has the genes to easily put on muscle. Morton on the other hand, has a body type that really struggles to put on muscle. He'd have to eat a horse to put on any weight.

    Question i need answering as best as possible.

    Are Scully & Trengove as "ready made" as Daniel Rich. I saw a lot of Rich on TV. I haven't seen the 2 Boys for this year, only go on what i read.

    Are they Ready for senior AFL straight away??

    Yes and no. Rich is ridiculously overdeveloped, and has the skill set to make an impact immediately... including a loooong, flat, accurate kick, which is something that is as useful at 18 as it is at 32.

    Scully isn't that kind of player necessarily. And neither he nor Trengove have the big body of Rich right now. But then, who does? In terms of work ethic, skills, and engines... I can say at least in Scully's case, he could play a lot of footy next year. Trengove has also been playing amongst men all year too.

    The only thing will be how their bodies handle the physical stuff. I'd have said the same as all of this about Grimes, but his first season was ruined by a back injury. Scully is fairly slight... Trengove less so, but still just a teenager. There's a reason they call Rich Bam Bam.

    I heard at the weekend from a "source" very loosely associated with the club that Shaun Burgoyne will request a trade.

    Same source also added a bit of background to what Rucci alluded to as the "cliques" among the players which is affecting their playing as a team and may be part of the reason Shaun wants out. Not surprising both Burgoynes and Pearce are supposedly members of the same clique with Senior Burgoyne being the prime "agitator", as also alluded to by Rucci when mentioning "off field issues" affecting his on field performance.

    All is not well down in Alberton it would seem.

    thats for sure.. seems to be a pigs breakfast of 'affection and love' pmsl !! I geta few bottles from a SA wino mate..he an avid Crow boy..he thinks its hilarious. They seem on the point of implosion .

    Pearce is more than handy. I say it again ..trade week 2009 is going to be very intereting..ought to be a lot more 'interests with weight"

    I'm not surprised if this is all true. I'm glad you mentioned Pearce, it confirms what I heard. I wonder how Bailey got along with these blokes. :)

    Food for thought.

    edit: And Josh Mahoney...

    Probably why they're scrambling to get Hardwick back even though he's been knocked back by North and now probably the Tiges.

    Don't blame the tiges either for choosing Hinkley.

    Anyone seen the speech at 3/4 time in the GFL grand final?

    That was against my team.

    The bastard got them up that's for sure - they wouldn't have had a chance without him pulling the strings.

    Yes, it seems it's Hinkley to Tigers, Hardwick to Port Adelaide like the Buckley/Malthouse and Roos/Longmire set-ups. Stuey Dew to replace Hardwick at Hawks?

    I think with these sorts of developments Bailey will really be in the gun next year, re: media speculation as to his demise.

    Same with Clarkson at Hawthorn.

    Let's hope we can win enough games to keep this from happening. Let another club be the story

    point 1 - you dont have to be involved in trade week

    2 - DB is building a list of kids to grow learn and play together

    3 - for the last time ,Rich was playing against men for two years before entering the AFL system, Scully , like Watts will be a star but MAY need time

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
