It is indeed a good problem to have. I can't get over how composed they both looked against Brissy. Looked like 100+ gamers.

*200+

I would say he is a tad slow but besides that he is a gem! Scully and Trengove will both be amazing players for the melbournefc but i feel scully will be the better of the 2 but not by much at all!

Not sure how you can say that.

Once he puts on the afterburners he is as fast as most speedy midfielders.

I often think that he's just like Bartel but even faster.

scully and trengove are both 200+ game players...scully and trengove belong at AFL level...i would find it hard to believe otherwise.

I will be dissappointed if he doesnt get the nomination this week however both of them will at some point this year - I have no doubt.

As for who will be best.. well who really cares as we have both wearing Dees jumpers and noone else does.

It was worth the pain of losses and having to barrack for your team to lose. Also the consistent criticsm of tanking. We know we did it and just disguised it well with experimentation and most people in the football world know it but for Demetriou and his cronies who dont believe tanking exists.

Doesnt matter now as priority picks as we have them no longer exist and for a team to bottom out now well its disaster. Sure, we probably didnt need it given the talent we already had STARTING to develop but for it all to gell so quickly this year - well I dont hear anyone outside the club complaining.

We will constantly be criticised for it as Scully & Trengove continue on their merry way and I dont care. We did it within the laws of the game and reap the rewards.

I love both these boys and look forward to 9 & 31 tearing it up for years to come.

I think that's true. Geelong however, won two premierships without a key tall forward. Johnson is a Jurrah/Petterd type. Chapman is a bit a of a Jones. Mooney...er, well who wants a Mooney? (not exactly a big imposing CHF).

Lots of goals from midfielders can win you finals. That way if your big gun gets towelled you can still find a way to win.

But I'd love to have a big gun.

Your point is correct in some ways, but totally incorrect in most ways.

Geelong won both their flags with 2 KPF playing in both years. While you are correct isn saying who would want Mooney, the point is he is a bigger bodied CHF/FF who attracts a bigger defender. In their first flag, they had Nathan Ablett - again, who would want him? Last year the had Hawkins. Why they did so well was becaue the 2 big forwards made a contest and the ball hit the ground. As we know, Geelong have quality mids and small forwards that when they ball does hit the ground, they are there to clean up and kick goals.

The year they lost to Hawthorn - Mooney should have been the match winner. He killed his opponent, and realistically should have kicked a handful. Because he missed, that was a big reason for them losing. What it does prove though is that you do need bigger KPF in finals.

As for the original post, JT is awesome, I love him. But I also lose Scull, Grimes, Jordie, Chip, etc, etc, etc! I'm a tart! I don't care if none of our kids win the Rising Star, I just hope they realise they are Stars in our eyes. A couple of them will at some stage win a Brownlow, which will hopefully mean we are having a crack at a flag for a good few years.

Who is slow?

Trengove?

They are both quick. Obviously Scully is a jet, but Trengove has plenty of speed, and has elite endurance as well.

He's not slow. He's tested under 3 seconds for 20 metres at screening. Anything under 3 seconds is considered quick.

He's not express, but reasonably quick, i.e. not "slow". To give you an idea of what "slow" is, insert a picture of a recently departed Demon. And I don't mean Simon Buckley.

So no, not "slow", reasonably quick. Keep saying this over and over in your mind. "Not slow, reasonably quick". When you've said it to yourself 1,000 times send me a pm. "Not slow, reasonably quick".

He hasn't shown that pace during games, that's why he looks a little slow at times.

Occasionally, Tenners looked slow on Saturday, but that was more due to tiredness than anything else particularly towards the end of the third quarter. He had played blinder up until then and continued to do so in the last quarter. His skills are sublime.

Anyone look at the replay of one of the best passages of play all night when Chip ran through a Fav tackle on the outer half back flank, handpassed to Bruce and via a series of quick handpasses eventually ended with tenners on the wing who did a superb look away 30m handpass to davey who ran onto the 50m line handpassed to a running Sylvia who slotted it through from 40 on an angle. IMO the best play of the night and left the commentary box shouting "the Demons - the transition kings".

We are in for some exciting times

I remember the same thing, but i don't think it was a 30m handpass, but still a great transition from defence to attack.
