AFL gameday says he's had 39 touches. Wow. When he went off in the last quarter, the dogs won.

Malthouse is scared of us.

He's making Judd/Scully comparisons now. Stopped short of saying they're the same, but that Scully has most areas of Judd's game "covered."

Amazing game. We have our first real chance in decades of producing elite midfielders.

If his decision making and execution by foot was as good as his hands, he'd be unbelievable.

If I said I love Sculls it would be the understatement of the decade.

He has room for improvement which just scares me.

Love love love this kid!!!

i thought he made a few mistakes but overall he was fantastic.

i'd imagine scully is the kinda guy who'd prefer to get 20 perfect touches than 39 touches with a few errors...

but yes he's a monty for rising star this round.


Scully played awesome tonight. While he turned the ball over a few times, when you have 39 touches in the wet that is going to happen. His kicking is better than I thought. The thing I loved most about his game is his attack on the ball - just wait until he has some muscle to avoid getting knocked off the ball!

Gary Rohan's gonna have to get 50 possessions and kick 5 goals.

Screw Nic Nat, this is between the Scullgove twins.

I agree it was a great game, but his shocking turnovers by foot really hurt at times. He really needs to work on that. Fortunately, he seems to be the type who puts a lot of work into his game, so we can hope that he will get better.

Everybody had a stupid turnover tonight. It was the fact that Sculls got it 39 times that made him have more than the rest.


That's the first situation where I've seen a player get twice as many disposals than his age

Scully is going to be the superstar game turner that we have been needing for years (18 possesions in the 4th)! Will be the Rising star this week . But Nic Nat will win the rising star as the media are selling him so hard to the brain dead masses.

We have guys in the team who have played over 200 games and make worse turnovers by foot.

If Scully never improves beyond this point (which he obviously will, especially in terms of body strength), he will still become an elite midfielder.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
