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.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
