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.

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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
