fantastic work ethic, repeated second and third efforts, lightening handball, hits the packs at speed, both sided player, and enormous appetite from the contest.

i saw that in a 3 minute video. incredibly exciting.

    His ability to keep his arms free and still hit a target when getting tackled is awesome! You can not teach that very well.

    Lighting hands....dear god they were quick.

    He reminded me of Paul Kelly from the swans with the way he runs and the way his shoulders seem to hunch up over his neck when playing.

    He looks to be one on those players thats hits the footy at full speed, not many players can do this around stoppages one C Judd is the best at it. It makes the player look extremely fast even if the aren't.

    Don't get me wrong, I have a man crush on Tom, and seeing him in that Melbourne jumper was almost too much ;)

    I did notice though that he seemed to lose his footing a fair bit, especially early on in that package. I will blame it on slippery surfaces!!! Still going to be great having him run around for us next year.

    Did anyone else notice only once or twice where he defeated a current AFL player named D Rich? Poor little Bam Bam looked flat footed against him!

    He broke Jarrod McVeighs record of 15.6 and Matthew Kreuzer's VIS 15.4

    Heard on sen he got 15.8 and then they stopped him, i think they got the picture. Predicted to break 16 at this years draft camp, pity he is not there.

    Needs to work on his ball drop...

    Scully's awareness is great, if he can translate that kind of play to the AFL, he'll win a brownlow for sure.

    :lol:

    Some of those handballs when he looked gone for all money are absolutely incredible.

    I know we've all been through these, but...

    1:24 - Had the whole ground thinking "how did he end up with that in space?", 1:59 - He wouldn't have moved that on any quicker, flatter, more directly had he kicked it 2:44 - thread the needle... But can't pick which one's better out of: 2:30 - How the HELL did he know he was there?! Whoever received it must have been a good communicator... and the one at 2:56 - gone for all money, taken too much time to make a decision, gets slung, halfway to the ground not only does he deliver to a target, but to the target's advantage running into fifty.

    Oh and that goal that started with him getting tackled on the wing... I think he actually had to slow down a lot to make sure he didn't go inside fifty too early. His team-mates had all clean possessions after he dished it off, and he STILL comfortably beat the footy forward.

    I never realised it before, but my goodness he's quick. It's odd that it's passed me by, since I've spent more time watching his highlights than typing on here... ;)

    It's not just that he's quick, it's that he's USEFULLY quick. His first 5 metres seem (among footage of kids, obviously) to be even sharper than Davey.

    He's like the complete opposite of Bell. Bell has an attractively shaped kick, no vision or awareness, is remarkably quick given enough of a run up, built like a mack truck, doesn't handball too well... Whereas Scully's kick shape isn't considered a strength, has UNBELIEVABLE vision (not only does he know where to put it, he seems to predict where guys are going to place themselves), is at full pace within a couple of steps, is skinny, and his handball is already probably the best I've seen, besides maybe Black's. And that's a BIG maybe.

    Does anyone else get a Boomer Harvey vibe from him? Only better obviously.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
