Just received an email from a mate who is reasonably well connected in all things footy and he says that Scully could play this week but the coaching/medical staff have advised him against it to ensure he is up and about for next season. It is only 'ScullyButt' but I have taken it as gospel until I hear something concrete.

It would be completely irresponsible of the Rays to play Scully if he's undergone surgery earlier in the week.

Wrap him up in cotton wool and have him ready to report for duty on 27 November!

As far as footy fandom goes, today's been pretty sucky for me:

Its my understanding that the surgery could have been delayed and he was advised to get himself taken care of.

not sure if anyone else noticed but an article in the HSun today was about him and he was quoted as saying, "i still haven’t had 1 sip of alcohol, and I don’t think I will any time soon"

That is quite impressive, another potential captain on the way, who needs Brock.

'bout time to change your display name M4B, we don't need that happening.

*BUMP*

Found this thread back on page 4. Poor kid, nobody likes him, he's the ugly duckling now, no longer the flavour of the month. All the talk is for Trengove for Pick#1. I reckon this Scully dude will go at #1.

I'll stick fat with you Sculls. :rolleyes:

This, folks, is how you get to over 6000 posts in 16 months...

Thanks for your input, High Tower!

So you've said numerous times now. ;)

Are you on the bandwagon, or do I have to drive this thing myself !?

You know, just thinking about it... thats an average of over 10 posts a day, for every day you've been a member.

I'm not a huge fan of stats, but those numbers can't be denied..

So I can't get enough of footy. If it's a crime, I'm guilty. You're not so bad yourself Keyser.

Hey, maybe you can jump on the Scully bandwagon ? everyone else has jumped ship.... ;)

I'm not being critical; I'm impressed.

In fact, I find it worryingly addictive...

Firmly on the Scully bandwagon, I just haven't been advertising it.

This in no way reflects on my opinion of Trengove, I just think Scully has been no. 1 for so long and a minor injury has put him in the shadows at the very end.

Had he have competed in the TAC Cup grand final and at Draft Camp we might not have this discussion.

KS - Ave 20 posts a day.

HT - Ave 10 posts a day.

Lift your effing game HT!

Your soft.

Like pudding.

WOW. That's a bit concerning.

It is draft/trade season though - high traffic time for posts.

Once the draft is all done I'll fade back into obscurity...

yep, that excuse will do just fine for now.

The most bizarre thing - just got a scam email asking for my bank account details to help some poor guy recover his family's lost fortune... from a tscully@safgfaf.co.uk

A sign maybe? :P

Ok, back to work now.

(and THAT is how you average 20 posts a day)

That's the excuse HT used.

Before the....unpleasantness...

Now, we all have to pitch in to have his groceries home delivered as he is too big to get off his bed and away from his lap top.

We tried taking his computer away but he just starts knashing his teeth at us jiggling his body fat up and down so heavily that his whole house shook.

Scary stuff.

And you wonder why 45HG16 always pulls me up on having a go at Freak?

Well, Freak was sat on that day. Well, 'rolled over' on, at least.

Really does explain a lot though...

Does HT wash himself with a rag on a stick like I do..?

All very fanciful, but I can't imagine anything interesting me too much once the draft has gone.

Between then and the season there is little to discuss bar jumper numbers (joy!) and during the season I can't stand reading all the different criticisms and game synopses written - I'd rather form my own view.

Also my workload during the season tends to leave me precious little time.

But we shall see. I may yet become a scourge on this forum.

Heaven forbid.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
