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!

Why do we want old stuff? We want to see how he looks now, not back then :rolleyes:

Player ---- Mt D DE% M CP UP C TKL G B

R.Ah Chee 5 - 26.4 - 66.7 - 6.6 - 9.6 - 17.2- 3.4 - 3.8- 1.0- 0.6

T.Scully 5 - 25.2 - 76.2 - 3.4 - 9.4 - 15.8- 5.2 - 3.2 - 0.6 - 0.4

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.

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

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.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
