Just wondering if anyone else sees the similarities between young Tom and a certain money hungry Carlton skipper?

Not saying he'll end up as good but the way he moves is almost identical to Judd in his early years IMO...

    Definitely looks similar the way he covers ground.

    Will be better at releasing teammates, not that Judd is necessarily bad in this area.

    Scully throughout his career will make blokes look good, they'll move on for greener pastures and be exposed.

    He's that type of player.

    IMO,,, Paul Kelly.

    Couldn't find much vision, maybe someone else has some of Paul Kelly. A true inspirational player. IMO, more guts than chris dudd.

    Was any one else extremely confident as he ran in and kicked that goal. Reminded me of one of his highlights on youtube. Outstanding!

    Yeah, strangely I just knew it was going to split the middle from the way he dropped it onto his boot.

    Even from out on the wing I could see it.

    Such clean skills.

    ...and from a great country football club that my father, brother and I played at for a total of over 600 games... the mighty Wagga Tigers!

    Same as Jordie McKenzies goal...it was always going to go straight.

    Absolutely brilliant - just made to play footy. Massive motor, magnificent attacking handballer, always takes a crunch, WILL WIN A BROWNLOW.

    There, I've said it!!

    Scully has 3 main elite strengths. He has the potential to be the best in the afl in these 3 areas. These are the reasons he could be a superstar.

    1. his endurance/ ability to get from contest to contest. Won the beep test at MFC in his first season. The best ever recorded at an underage level. something like 15.11.

    2. Creative use of the handball- Simon Blackesk. Sets up our players brilliantly to advantage

    3. His constant running speed throughout the game. The guy's speed for standard running from contest to contest is rediculously good. Other players jog, but he's just always skating over the ground. I really rate that.

    He reminds me of a great Fitzroy player of the 70's and 80's in Gary Wilson. Similar build, endurance, and footy skills. I also reckon he may become as good or better than Joel Selwood once he puts on 7kg of muscle over the next 2 years.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
