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.

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.

: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.

    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
