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.

Nic Nat can have the Rising Star. Our last player to win it, some 6 years ago, is now being bandied around as trade bait. I'll wait for Scully to accept his premiership medal. The question i want answered is, are the Bulldogs overrated, or are we that good????? Either way, i hope we come out next week breathing fire and roast those f&^#@ng birds.

A Collingwood supporter I know said something like :"WFT? First year kids should be cramping up in the 4th Q of a game like that, not getting 19 possessions!"

Heh. I wonder what Sculls will be like with a bit more muscle and a real pre-season.

Loss to Collingwood by 1 point

Loss to Western Bulldogs by 4 points

and Dee-molished Brisbane by 50 points

All touted as premiership contenders, ill leave it up to you.

on the flip side losses to Kangas & Hawks, do not look good.

Imagine if he played for Geelong and could have a piece of those Ablett dinky handballs. Could rack up 60.

I was concerned about why we would take a guy with pick 1 without elite foot skills (not having a go at him but its true, where as Cooney, Hodge, Deledio, Murphy, Gibbs all elite kicks). Tonight I was reassured, because I'd already witnessed his amazing hands, his calmness under pressure, his head over the footy style, his speed, his gut running and all his attributes in bits and pieces, but tonight I saw the package come together. I loved what I saw.

18 touches in one quarter is that a record almost?

im sure it is for a first year player

Champion Data should look into that

Some I can name right now who had more touches in a quarter

Darren Milburn - 19

Luke Power - 18

Marcus Ashcroft - 19

That's it.

Wow, he's special this boy. I know he turned it over a couple of times by foot, but he's only played 7 games. Give him another twenty and he'll cut those out of his game (which in fairness were affected by the conditions). If he stays fit, he'll be the best player MFC have seen. Take nothing away from the other young guns Trenners and Grimes, our team is looking super. We just need to gain a little more experience and know how, to win games in these tight situations. We're coming, I can feel it. Go redlegs.

18 possesions in a final quarter is amazing! The most I ever remember seeing in a final quarter before then was from Wayne Campbell against us back in 2002.

He does turn it over a bit but as we've all said he's only 7 games into his career, this time next year it wont be happening half as much.

Agree he should be a lock for the rising star nomination this week, although the AFL do seem to love giving it to a player from a winning team from the week, but hopefully they can look past it this week.

And as for NicNat, while he does show flashes of brilliance, Scully show full matches of brilliance, Scully or Trengove should take it out this year fir mine.

What a terrible decision a whole new generation of young Melbourne fans now face. Do they go with the number 31 or the number 9 on their back? What will make this even worse will be the numbers 4 or 24, but to do that they'll have to give up their 16 or their 10...

/sigh We're beginning to see how hard it's going to be for the thousands of young kids who'll adopt our team as their religion, I guess the only option is to get their parents to buy at least 6 jumpers demon_cool.gif

I'm leaning towards 13 myself, he is making the previous incumbent look second rate (no disrespect OOze) - Jordie McKenzie you gun

I remember someone last year mentioned that if Scully was playing with the Dees, he would already be our best midfielder. If he isn't now, he is not far behind. It is nice to have some genuine speed around stoppages with Scully and Davey.

I couldn't agree more... Scully played an inspired game last night! He was so exciting to watch!

I can't help but ♥ him!

So glad my husband saved me from being a Collingwood supporter! :)

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
