he's bullshittin',,,you would need to review all tapes and watch as many games as u can. that's his job..

how could u spend time picking 11 and 18 if you couldn't rank them against 1 & 2? ie.., you'd need to know all the numbers through to 18...to know how to draft from 1 - to - 18...i would think...

Make no mistake Scully and Trengove are stand out 1 and 2 regardless of order....

We are going to be blessed in the coming years....well I bloody hope so!!

i'm all for scully and trengove,,,1 & 2,,,it will be debated for a long time who should have been number 1.

i'm just saying u need to watch the whole group to know wat a pick 11 and pick 18 could be...and how it could change if something random happens in the draft.

Trengove should definately go #1.

Only so that he has a higher trade value if (when) those SA clubs come sniffing around!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You've posted twice, and your triple commas are infuriating. :wacko:

He all but came out and said its a coin toss between Scully And Trengove as to who goes first but that they are by far the two standouts.. Case of join the dots really.

Throughout the article, the feeling went from- 'we cant tell you who we want for our top picks, but Trengove's up there' -to- 'we cant tell you who we want to pick 1st out of Trengove and Scully' ;)

Poor BP would just want to shout it from the rooftops by now, you'd think..

BP cannot wait for their respective draft numbers to be published by the AFL, so he can begin practising calling them out.....

"Player number 37425......"

"Player number 32487....oops I mean 6....."

Please do elaborate.

I have just heard off someone who would know. Unless that person is trying to throw people off track, then that is how it will happen.

Not to dispel your theory however any tom dick or harry could have made that statement and said they heard it off someone in the know. However i do think you are correct in your theory.

We will be taking Scully with pick 1 and Trengove with pick 2.

I can confirm this.

Phew. I feel much better now that Melb16 has confirmed it.

I love players that have the ability to get their arms free in a tackle, Scully and Trengove from the vision I seen have this ability. Hopefully Nathan Jones can learn this, the ability to take a tackle and off load.

The best part from what I have seen of Scully is that not only does he get his arms free, but he delivers a rocket hand pass and usually hits a teammate on the tit with it. I recognise that when looking at highlights you only ever see the best bits, but some of his handballs are jaw-dropping.

Thats why guys like Blease, Strauss, Davey, Maric, Jetta, Sylvia and Green are so important you get Scully Jones and Moloney, feeding these guys at full speed and all of the sudden playing in our forward line becomes a lot easier.

Scully has the best hands I've ever seen he reads ruck contests like he's psychic fires 30m handpasses like rockets.

Nickname: THE EXTRACTOR

Trengove oozes class he appears to have time in traffic and is effortless and evassive great mark for his height

Nickname: THE STENCIL

Correct. Although it isn't a theory, it was what I was told.

I have a life, so making a statement and hoping its right to bignote myself on an internet forum isn't on my list of things to do.

It's no revelation we are taking those 2, but there are people debating who should go first (not that it really matters), and I was wondering myself. So when it was confirmed to me I just thought i would share it.

While I agree that you always have to take a players' highlights reel for what it is, just the highlights... there's still a meaningful comparison that you can draw. Scully's highlights are better than anyone else's highlights.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
