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.

    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.

    • 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.
