The Tom Scully thread

in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

 
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!

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

    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:

    No doubt. :lol:

    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.

    Nice article from Emma Quayle...

    Scully's waiting game

    Must be frustrating sitting watching the others test themselves in front of all the clubs representatives.

    *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:

    So you've said numerous times now. ;)

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    • 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?

      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.
