2010 Player Review - # 31 Tom Scully

Featured Replies

 

My favourite player after Chip.

This kid will be a star and sooner than you think.

His kicking is also underrated by most.

will be an elite top 5 player in the league soon enuf dees fans

 

Geez this kid's going to be something. I love his hard running.

I'll never forget his running goal against Sydney.

Yes if you look for that game on Youtube Bruce and Dennis get rather excited as well!!

Great First up season Sculls..You wear the 31 with distinction.

Can't wait to see this kid in september action. He will Thrive on it.

I prefer the one against the Lions in Round 4 that he roves off the back off a boundary throw-in. "Hang on - Scully . . . Scully . . . You little ripper!"

Yes i bought the DVD of that whole Game...it was a top night!!

The swans clip is worth watching-the editor has done a top job whom ever it is!

Without a doubt this player is a rare gem. His skills, brain and overall football prowess made him a treat to watch in his debut season and he's only going to get better.

 

The boy is a gun, perhaps Matty Burgan puts it best in his China Diaries when describing Scully's attempt at basket making:

"But perhaps the bamboo basket made by young-gun Tom Scully wasn’t a highlight (finally, the kid has a flaw!)" :)

It's hard to believe that this was Tom's debut season. Showed outstanding endurance, the best hands in the business and the 'football brain' of an established champion. Will be a matchwinner for the Dees, and potentially one of the elite players of the competition.


I'm tipping a very high finish in the b n f from the kid next year.

Is it possible to say that Scully's year was underrated?

We here on Demonland get carried away with the likes on Watts, Jurrah, Sylvia and co admiring there god given talent however when it comes to young Tom I don't think he receives the same praise. Perhaps it has just got to do with the way he plays his footy. Uncompromising and a will to win at all costs.

As Matty Campbell said the kid is a ripper

Most impressive was his work off the footy, late in games, trying to create opportunities for his teammates.

He is the perfect example of the champion player that makes the players around him better.

Absolutely love this kid.

So much so that his number is going on the back of the footy jumper I buy next year.

I don't think many realise that Scully was played out of position this year. He is an onballer not a wingman and desperately wants to get into the middle. DB held him back as West wanted him in the centre bounces. I think he will flourish even more when allowed to play his nature game which is to hunt the football...

The kid dare I say it will probably eclipse Gary Ablett

All Hail the new King


A very impressive year for the rook' and one from which I think he can only move up and on from. I would be prediciting a top 5 in the B&F next year.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
