well if he has any real damage to his knee he WONT go to camp. He will still in all likelyhood come to us at ! so why risk anything..

I tend to side with those thinking he had a bit of a knock and was being mollycoddled for rest of game ( after it was in bag )

Hutchy ...wouldnt be able to resist it if there was any real legs to a Scully injury....hed have the #1 scoop of teh Draft all to himself. Far too tempting for a media limpet !!

He is going No 1 regardless whether he plays this week and if he attends draft camp. It wouldn't supprise me if the MFC medical team is involved this week with him if he did injury his knee.

I highly doubt it's serious at all, as he played out the game. But with Dandenong 5 goals up I think Yeats was making sure that his best player wasn't going to miss the Grand Final, so he just kept him in cotton wool so as not to aggravate anything.

There's some real melodrama happening on this board with a lot of people making a lot of comments with very, very little information.Maybe we should just get a couple of you a private chat room.

Here's what I posted over at Demonology:

'I was at the game. He played nearly the entire thing without a visit to the bench and I never noticed him hobbling or anything. Just before the end of the match he came to the bench and when the siren went walked back onto the ground with an icepack attached to his left knee. He didn't seem to be in any visible pain and was shaking hands with the opposition players etc. I'd say it's some sort of tenderness and the icepack is mostly precautionary'.

It's not too bad one way or the other as he was walking freely enough at the end.

Looked as though he was injured during the match on saturday. Started out running off half back, then came out i think after half time with strapping on one knee and played in the forward line. He appeared to be limping as well.

Hopefully it's not too bad as he stayed on for most of the match.

Out for the season isn't so bad at this point. Isn't it only a few more weeks? Could easily be a sprain, strain or pulled muscle and keep him out. He has no history of injuries that I know of, so I wouldn't hit the big red button just yet.

Out for the season? haha There's one game left ffs.. Disappointing not to see him run around on Friday but who really cares. As long as he's ready to go round 1.

Very interesting that NO MENTION TODAY IN THE PAPERS re his injury. Noticed Tim Harrington, our List Manager having a very close look at him at 3/4 time last Saturday. At least we know we are on the ball. If severely injured may have to go for another combination for 1 & 2.(HOWEVER VERY DOUBTFUL IT WILL BE THAT DRASTIC) It did not seem that serious last Saturday though pulled up very sore after the game.However, it must be significant for Scully to miss a Grand Final,if indeed he does.

I tweeted Schwabby about Scully. He tweeted about Garland; fingers crossed he will write something about Scully.

"I have had a few tweets re Tom Scully with a expectation we would have some info! As I understand, had surgery and will make a full recovery"

Well, the fact that he's had surgery makes it a dead set certainty that he'll not only be at Melbourne next year but that he'll fit in well with the rest of the team. :rolleyes:

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.

Let's just say Tom is being well looked after for next season.

Edit : My source is very close.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.
