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....."

    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.

    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.

    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.

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
