What about Jack Fitzpatrick for Ruck? 201 cm and looks very quick and mobile. His kick is a bit shakey but not to bad.

Tapscott looks big and ready to play afl. Solid mark and kick. The others didn't show anything special.

Very interesting footage. It looks like Scully as a machine when it comes to winning the contested ball and getting a quick handpass out. Is his kicking a little dodgy or was it just a bad day?

Trengove looks to be a significantly better kick and finds teammates better, once again judging only by hte footage shown. He didn't seem to be as good at winning the ball.

Both would be very welcome in our midfield though. :)

His kicking is good on either side, but it's his clearance work and hands that set him apart. His hands are phenomenal and he just keeps getting to contest after contest. He also has excellent pace. He'll be a star.

Got the lot. But I love it when you see a side of a player... or perhaps a quirk or gift... that is present from the first minutes you see him through to when he retires...

Sylvia loves a tackle (Just today I saw the Freo game, and at one point he was trying to tackle a Docker but had a demon in between himself and his prey. So he tackled both. Brought both to ground and was so effective that the ball went dead!).

Robbo loves a hanger.

Davey loves to sell a bit of candy.

When it comes to Scully, he does a lot well, but his hands coupled with his brain are exquisite. Could be even better than Black. He drills them 30 metres to space a player will run onto... He causes them to run onto the ball, not the other way around. He brings players into the game and creates plays that turn into inside fifties SO often and so perfectly... Nobody on our list does this. I'd go so far as to say he looks more complete than Watts.

Trengove seems better balanced with poise.. Scully has a bit of "hard nut "about him. Think they might complement each other quite nicely whilst adding to what we already have. Jack needs a bit less of the up and under passing technique. Scully very..VERY quick of hand.

What a shame to have to pick between...wait... WE DONT !!!!!! :D :D

exactly what i was thinking! these two will work perfectly with each other! plus with blease coming in next year i think we will go from one of the worst to potentially one of the best/quickest midfields going around!!

LOL @ Butcher kicking on the left boot.

Not 1 single contested mark in that video. He got 1 goal from a free kick and 1 cheap goal when WA didn't even bother to man up. He looked weak in the contest and was pushed over easily. Would be such a waste of pick 2.

More vision on Tom from last year. imo looks better here!

This bloke Goes alright up against tom. This is from the carnival. Ah Chee averaged the most disposals followed by Tom. Looks like he will float out to around pick 20+

Can't see what some have said about Scully's disposal being no good. Almost every kick is to his team's advantage, even if the KPF lacks the yard of pace to get to the ball on the full, or the team-mate gets hands to ball but drops it. He just seems to always know the right side of the contest to kick it to.

I also like his clean one-touch handling (same with Trengove) and his ability to swoop on the ball in traffic and get it well clear to his team's advantage (again same with Trengove). They're both consistently clean & decisive. Trengove seems to have great balance - if he's off-balance when he gets it (e.g. unexpected sideways bounce) he's back in perfect balance the very next stride.

Here's the link

i hope you are impressed with him as much as i am and enforcer

I'd be OK with Carlisle.

More importantly its realistic to expect that he will still be left on the board when we're up for round 2.

Has a reasonable scope to develop aswell, much like a Stef Martin

Posted
imo the best possible out come would be.

Scully

trengove

talia.

Well yeah, but that's hardly likely.

Its like saying you'd be happpy with Scully, Trengove and Morabito.

Then again, saying you'd be happy with Scully and Trengove 6 months ago would've sounded absurd.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
