Scully and Trengove

Featured Replies

Posted

In the media Scully are frequently been compared to Judd, however I think his clean ball skills and gut running really resemble a young Ben Cousins.

I find Trengove difficult to liken to any past/present player, and therefore feel he will become Jack Trengove.

Curious to know what others think?

(BTW if your in a negative Nancy mood then ignore this thread, which is purely for discussing feel-good, light-hearted hypotheticals)

I honestly think these two boys will set there own level. Others will be matched to them.

Watching them in the rain against the dogs was quite inspiring.

Jim Stynes must be so proud.

Scully = Judd... almost - same explosive pace, slightly different style. I reckon Scully's 'style' will become as distinctive as Judd's (you know, the way he holds himself etc). As in, when you see Judd bursting through a pack, holding the ball like he does, you think 'vintage Judd'.

Trengove = ? His balance and awareness bring no-one immediately to mind... i.e. the way he holds his feet in the contest. A thing of beauty.

Jizz.

Agree 100%... I was saying elsewhere that I hope these boys will be the benchmark that supporters of other clubs will compare their players to. I really don't see the point of making comparisons as it seems to indicate that they are not in a league of their own.

And Gysberts seems Hird-esque in build and game style (not necessarily as good as him, but we can hope).


scully = diesel williams' hands & cousins gut running rolled into one :wub:

trengove = buckley..... Nah he's not tough enough. Will be closer to voss :wub:

gysberts = hird :wub:

tapscott = chapman :wub:

J viney = t viney :wub:

blease = flower :wub:

mckenzie = ling :wub:

could keep going....

what a wonderful future we will have. I always wondered what an engine room with all those guys put together would look like...... We will soon know for sure :P

 

Scully - Judd

Trengove - N. Buckley

But both will add there own unique touch!


There are aspects about Scully that remind me of Greg Williams (his great hands and spatial awareness). Gysberts definitely modelled on Hird. Hadn't thought of it, but reading here Trengove is a bit Buckleyish (minus the fig jam, of course).

I hope noone is writing strauss off yet

Anybody noticed that McKenzie is the only player in the league other than Ling who comes to the centre bounce and looks puffed out...it's hilarious

both of them will be a little bit like ron barrassi, gary ablett, chris judd, ted whitten, lethal, cousins, (insert star midfielder here) all put together cant wait


Scully - Gary Ablett Jr (!!)

Trengove - Lenny Hayes

Gysberts - Simon Black / Scott Pendlebury

Tapscott - Paul Chapman

McKenzie - Cam Ling / Brett Kirk

Grimes - Luke Hodge / Jim Bartel

Morton - James Hird

Blease - Boomer Harvey / Leigh Montagna

Strauss - Jason Gram / Lindsay Gilbee

Scully - Chris Judd

Trengove - Not-as-tough version of Nathan Buckley or Michael Voss, but quicker

Gysberts - James Hird-ish

Tapscott - Paul Chapman like, but taller

McKenzie - Cameron Ling/Junior

Gawn - Aaron Sandilands

Fitzpatrick - Tall marking ruckman/forward? A lean Brad Ottens

Blease - Hard to say, I'm thinking Blease is to Melbourne what Joel Corey is to Geelong...except younger

Strauss - Haven't seen or heard enough

Watts - He'll make his own name - then again, I could say that about everybody

Scully reminds me very much of Paul Kelly from the Swans, & also, a little like what I remember of Bobby Skilton. But Skilts had much better foot skills.

Jack Trengove: Strong overhead, plays tall for his size, great skills off both sides, very good endurance, smart player who does the team things, footy intelligence. Still trying to think of a likeness.

If I HAD to make comparisons, I'd go with:

Scully - Judd. Got the same burst of speed from the packs, with slick hands like Simon Black.

Trengove - Bartel. Good mark for his size, reads the play well, gets to the right spots, uses his body to put bumps and block for others, and bring team mates into the game. Also reminds me of Buckley with his kicking.

It's pointless doing comparisons though. They will be Tom Scully and Jack Trengove; Melbourne champions who lead us to our next flag, and have people compared to them in the future.

Trengove - Not-as-tough version of Nathan Buckley or Michael Voss, but quicker

Easily as tough as Buckley.

No-one's as tough as Voss though.

 

Scully - Judd (He has always looked Judd like, thats the first thing I thought when I saw him play in the under 18's)

Trengove - Bartel (Only because I had to choose one)

Gysberts - Corey (He is just like Joel Corey, not fast but not slow, not strong but not weak, not tall but not short. Just an absolute ball magnet)

Watts - Jesus (It is hard to compare anyone to Jack, but Jesus would be close)

Tapscott - Chapman (Strong bodied, goal kicking, long bombing player. I can't wait.

McKenzie - JnrMC (I think we have another player, just like our own captain fantastic James McDonald.

Agree 100%... I was saying elsewhere that I hope these boys will be the benchmark that supporters of other clubs will compare their players to. I really don't see the point of making comparisons as it seems to indicate that they are not in a league of their own.

I agree Trengove will be his own man, but in my time he reminds me a little of a young Gerard Healy. it you ask my father, he says Scully reminds him of a young Stuart Spencer.

Now I will wait for the howls of derision.....

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
