Tom Scully

[jabberwocky 2,301]

This kid will be the lynchpin of our midfield for many years and the one that will give the opposition most headaches. Awareness, quick thinking, courage, great hands, exceptional speed, confidence, willingness to work and supreme fitness. If the MFC were able to tailor a player exactly to what it side needs Scully would be it.

I saw enough on Saturday and in the pre-season to form the opinion that this kid be the best on-baller at the MFC in my lfetime.

I don't normally make these statements, this kid will be a champion.

Lets hope he is, i put up with too much pain last year to ever want to do that again!! B) B)

[Deestroy All 14,266]

One thing pretty much won me over life on Saturday. Scully backed into the hole with a rather large unit called Roughead storming towards him.

I'd soil myself just thinking about it, he goes out and does it in game 1.

Size doesn't matter Mr Newman.

Bennell should take note.

Agreed. The club hasn't had a superstar since Lyon at his peak.

Scully will definitely become one.

This is hardly ground breaking news, but I gues it needs to be said anyway.

He's already shown enough to demonstrate that by the end of the year he and Trengove will be our two best midfielders. Pretty sad actually

[Adam The God 30,411]

I think J Trengove might have something to say about this. That said, Trengove and Scully are different types of midfielders. Potentially a pointless comparison. Scully backing into the pack is a fantastic example of his courage and endeavour, but Trengove's game was even more promising IMO. I love them both and I hoep they both have extremely long MFC careers. If they don't, we're in a bit of trouble.

You could be sad or you could try excited?

I know that is a little rosy, but these kids are our future and we should be pretty buoyant about that B) !!!

Seeing young Tom back fearlessly into the leading Roughead, and Trengove breaking lines in his first game,

should give cause for excitement!

To take it a step further I think he and Kreuzer will be the best no. 1's of the modern era.

Trengove will be a creative player in his own right and a ball magnet, silky and smart and strong overhead. Scully will be a player who will win stoppages, get first hands, create space with his acceleration or by the smart use of his hands. I think in time (and I mean soon) Tom Scully will be the one who generates most of our attacks, much like Judd. He will in essence be a player to build a midfield around.

"Champion" is an overused word in the AFL, especially by commentators and the media. I actually had a robust discussions at work as to whether Riewoldt is a champion or not? It was a split decision, 4-4. Just really depends on your description of a champion.

We have not had many champion players of late, Neitz, Lyon ?????

I hope and pray that the 2 of them will become champions, along with some other youngsters on our list, because 2 wont make us a great team.

That being said, it obvious they both have what it takes, we just need more players around them to make it possible.

Extremely excited about the future but sad about our current midfield.

I'm confident that Trengove, Scully and Grimes will form the nucleus of a great midfield which will be supported by Blease, Morton, Gysberts, Tapscott and McKenzie.

[Ron Burgundy 8,584]

I just hope we manage to keep him.

I'd add Sylvia in there too.

Interesting point you bring up.

Going on Cameron Schwab's Matrix i would have Nieta as a cat 5

Lyon borderline cat 5-6

Our stock of absolute champions has been sadly bare for a long time, which is the reason i hope the club is now using this Matrix to get a better idea on where we are.

All we need now is for Jack Watts to live up to all the hype.

I like most on demonland went to the game on Saturday, although we played so very poorly, when I was driving home I thought back to the games of both Scully and Trengove and couldn’t wipe the smile off my face! Spot on with the call on Scully dandeeman!

i will stick my neck out & say Jordie McKenzie was as good as those two as well B)

Just can't wait for the day I hear "Scully fires out a handball to the running player in Trengove . . . . Pumps it long inside 50 . . . Watts is one out here . . . . Just to strong simply too strong the young man and he'll line up for his 4th to extend the lead to 36 points . . . . There in trouble here the Pies (Imagine Dennis Cometti here)

Frawley to Grimes out of the back line first

Frawley to Grimes out of the back line first

After the ball spills free from a McKenzie tackle on Swan, as he rides him into the turf...

Lets hope he can replicate the 11 tackles from last week.. and even another goal or three.

Do you know him 'dandeeman', as he played out at Stingray?

He's a good kid.

We need some top flight mids for our future, & young Viney hopefully in the future.

I would also like to stick my neck out and put it on record that I reckon the Ablett boy will make it one day
