Scully done over?

I must have been looking the other way, but near the start of the game did a couple of Collin*@%#d players get stuck into young Tom?

I remember him kneeling on the ground as if he'd been roughed up and then coming off the ground for a time.

Remember last year Jack Watts was given "the treatment" at the beginning of the game as well!

    He was poked in the eye early on, so I'm assuming his reaction was the result of that incident.

    Its an adult game and i'd expect when the dees become a better side to do the same thing to others.

    We need to harden up and realise once anyone crosses the white line they are a target. I think we are learning to protect them better however

    News Flash - Top draft pick put under physical pressure by opposition. Lets move on....

    I have no problem at all with a player being put under a bit of pressure and I wish we were better at it!

    I was just asking what happened! Let us move on then...

    I believe it may have even been from friendly fire via a Joel MacDonald swinging hand

    Scully and Trengove were both put under intense physical pressure as you would expect. It's all part of the learning process and both will be the better for it.

    I poke in the eye can't make you drop three chest marks can it? Harsh, Yes but expect number one picks to take at least two out of three.

    I remember Jack Watts being in possession and being tackled. I don't remember him being the 'victim of bullying' or whatever garbage people like you seem to want to remember

    He was targeted bigtime and i wonder if it had an influence in him dropping those chest marks.

    His attack on the footy however is first rate and ability to get to the right position phenomenal. You can't teach that.

    Due to his size though, i think he'll be pushed around until he baulks up.

    Very happy with him.

    Yes it can as an unfocused/blurred eye would effect depth thus make it difficult to read the flight of the ball

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
