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."

19 kicks 20 handballs.

A few mistakes, but for a 7th game.. wow

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.

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.

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe
