    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.

    Wow...a couple of bubps and tackles from Trengove were impressive.....loves the tough stuff

    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!!

    I don't like the idea of Trengrove being a croweater. Scott Thompson anyone?

    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.

    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.

    Here's the link

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

  • Quote

    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

  • Quote

    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.

    • 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.
