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.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
