Well, it has been debated to death, now let's hear your opinion.

I'm sticking with Scully.

    You never know, BP seemed a little nervous last year with the opening call.

    I'd have to go with Scully, he's been the favourite all year and deserves it.

    Saying that, I hope the club picks whoever is able to handle the pressure best.

    Give them 1.5 each and share the load.

    Either of them will handle it admirably, and I believe even though they'll be given the 'No. 1' tag, Melbourne will promote both players equally...

    Still, Scully for me.

    Edit: I think this is an interesting indicator, saying; If Jordan McMahon had not kicked 'the goal' we would have a choice of either... At the moment, it appears we would be taking Scully...

    Scully - S comes before T.

    I agree - belt em out in alphabetical order because who really cares?! We're getting both and from what we know and have seen, they both deserve it! I think either will be able to handle the pressure because they are far and away the best 2 in the draft. Last year there could have been 3 or 4 picked at number one which is why there was so much hype and pressure surrounding Watts!

    Vardy at pick 11...

    then who?

    The talk is that Vardy may drop to 18, so unless BP & team rate him really highly, I'd prefer that we took Black or Talia at 11 if Butcher is gone.

    Wooosh....over head.

    If you see that the V was in bold...and look to the previous posts...I was making a joke about the alphabetical order situation.

    S, then T, then V, so whose name starts with a W, X, Y or Z we can pick at 18?

    BP should make a public display of tossing a coin before pick 1 to determine the order. That way, nothing can be read into.

    Heads it's Scully, tails it's Trengove. Toss it up, and go with the result.

    The only way that could be reported is that we didn't care. Best outcome for both players and for the club.

    Best idea to date Baz! I was a fan of the pick 1.5 for both, but the old coin toss seems fair. Either that or both Tom and Jack have a paper, scissors, rock-off!

    For the record, I picked JT. I'm not a believer of this "go home" factor, but giving him the number 1 title will make it harder for him to ever consider. I think he will handle the number 1 tag, as he seemed to handle the build up the the SANFL grand final very well. The AFL is obviously a lot bigger, but that's my reasoning.

    I'm just grateful that we are getting both, just not sure which one will be my favourite player.

    Ahh... one of those jokes you had to explain so people get it.

    They're always the funniest.

    I'd read into it; we are too [censored] weak to make a effing decision.

    I can see you are trying to protect one of them, and by extension both of them, but I want my club to say that 'this player, as we saw it, was the best player, and this player the second best. Every year there is a Number 1 pick and Jack/Tom will have to deal with that pressure, and we are confident he can.'

    You know Old Xav has these posts read to him. How's he supposed to get that! He's just learning 2 syllable words. You are very cruel.

    Sorry OX. I'll explain it to you later in crayon.

    Right again rpfc. For goodness sake, what we like about these kids is their ability of course but also their maturity beyond their years, their toughness, professionalism and leadership. I can't see one hiding in the corner in embarrassment whilst the other sulks when the order is announced. Give them credit! This so called shallow draft has 2 genuine #1 picks in any year and we are lucky to be able to snag both. Exciting times ahead my friends (and Rhino) :)

    Excuse me as I pick myself up off the floor.

    Giving him the number one "title" will make it harder for JT to go home ?

    I don't buy that for one minute.

    Hard to see how you can read that into it. You could also read into it that we are so [censored] weak as to be forced to make a decision just because someone else (AFL?) wants us to.

    It's not as if one of them is clearly better. It's genuinely just about impossible to split them - we may as well toss a coin. Or what's wrong with giving it to both? It underlines the Jordan McMahon factor. I only voted Scully because he's been locked in for months and he's done nothing to lose his position.

  • Quote

    I herd on SEN today that Scully has been told he was going at 1.

    I do not think Trengrove will leave the MFC to go home, in a few years WE WILL be one of the top sides in the AFL. I can not see the Power kicking it with the big boys, but on the same note I can see the Crows coming up again... Just my thoughts.

    • 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.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
