Tom Scully Rising Star

[Dappa Dan 2,188]

Calling it.

[wonnabeeri 231]

Its going to take a pretty special performance from another rookie this weekend to knock him off a nomination....

[Ryan Dee 140]

I love Tom Scully

[saka888 54]

EASY!!!! he already is a star!!!!!

[wonnabeeri 231]

screw the filth. i hate the bloody umpires.

[Dappa Dan 2,188]

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

18 possessions in the 4th...

That's unbelievable. Jesus.

[Ryan Dee 140]

18 touches in the last Q = His tank....just ran when everyone else was not.

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.

Looked great for three quarters, then somehow actually managed to turn it up a notch for the last. Thinking about his bloody phenomenal game is already easing the pain of the gutting loss.

Still have to get my head around his only played 7 games looks like his been playing the game for years

[Jaded No More 59,109]

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!!!

[Disco Demons 92]

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!

[Rhino Richards 1,467]

Outstanding tonight..simply outstanding in terrible difficult conditions.

Definite Rising Star

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

Screw Nic Nat, this is between the Scullgove twins.

[RalphiusMaximus 5,993]

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.

For a 7th game....for any game....

[Eth 4]

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.

Bring on the future. flag as early as next year guys
