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

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

  • GAMEDAY: West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

  • 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.
