    Jurrah will win games and Scully will win seasons.

    I want both.

    Scully is going to be a super star, I have no doubt about it. I also, for one, do not believe that he will leave the club at the end of the season. Gun midfielders are not easy to find and if you get one, you try to hold onto them at all costs....however! There is and has only ever been, one Liam Jurrah. He is that good.

    Fortunately we don't have that problem.

    Couldn't pick it I'm glad we have both, like choosing which of your children you like the most.

    Yep

    I find it hard to participate in a hypothetical that involves Jurrah- no chance he will go anywhere.

    However if there was a choice I'd be hoping Nasher has a spare bullet for me!

    One is potentially replaceable the other is not. I am amazed at how sure people are that Scully is the next Judd/Ablett. Definite A grader but no sure thing to be elite.

    Gun to my head right now to choose between Jurrah and Scully? *BANG*

    Classic.

    No one is sure to be anything as injuries etc can change ability in the blink of an eye. I think Tom barring injuries will be a great player becuase of his determination to be one, he is single minded about his footy. One area I feel he needs to develop is his kicking which I believe is his achilles heel at the moment.

    Scully.

    Like everyone the Jurrahcane gets me all tingly and giddy but with Tom you're looking at a 12 - 15 year elite midfielder.

    Believe that hype. He's the next Judd.

    Unrelated fear, but does anyone else get scarred Jurrah is going to get injured/someone is going to try to snap him every contest? He just seems so delicate- maybe it's just me..

    Different players, different attributes.

    I actually believe we could replace the role played by Scully with another player (albeit not as talented).

    I simply don't believe we could replace LJ.

    I agree you can build a team around one of them for 10 years, whilst the other looks "fragile". The comment about a player changing a match and the player changing a season is quite right. Nevertheless, you would walk on hot coals to see LJ work his magic, and it is all natural.

    If we had to lose one to the new northern club, I guess I know which way i'd lean. Even Barrass believes it would be "better for the game" (which i can't believe he said about a 1 yr out 19 year old).

    Ideally, we'll keep both.

    I loves hypotheticals.

    No better way to misuse brain cells and waste time than thinking about something that really isn't a possibility let alone a hypothetical probability.

    And considering no-one is going to give you the choice in the first place...

    If clubs had the chance - they'd take both...

    If you knew that Tom Scully would have the equivalent career of Luke Power what would you do to keep him?

    MFCSS has been taken to a whole new level in this thread.

    We're even hypothetically paranoid now. Dear god!

      The Demon stalwart surpassed the number of his father's appearances for the club towards the end of the season. As he approaches his thirties, his pace is inevitably slowing, and he is likely to explore alternative opportunities beyond the team's midfield.

      The Demon premiership defender who has the reputation the master of intercept possessions as well as great leadership qualities managed only eight senior games this season as he battled injury and form, prompting speculation that he might be enticed to look elsewhere.

      “Disco” took his time (four seasons) but the mid-season draftee has been a shining light of Melbourne's campaign, improving to become a versatile option at either end of the ground. He has great marking skills which allows him to play as a marking target up forward or an intercepting defender down back.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #11 Max Gawn

      The skipper delivered another outstanding season, leading the team from the front, participating in every game, and earning club champion honours, while also securing an equal record eighth All-Australian blazer as a ruckman.  Max Gawn is arguably the greatest exponent of ruck skills in the history of the game; an exceptional leader who has guided the club to a premiership, through the challenging times that followed, and now into the next phase of its storied history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #12 Koltyn Tholstrup 

      It was a frustrating season for the former number 13 draft selection, who failed to build momentum in his second campaign; Tholstrup played only nine games, having been omitted twice and substituted out three times. However, he demonstrated promising signs in the midfield at Casey towards the end of the season, and big things are anticipated from him in the coming years.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

      Clayton Oliver, a four-time best and fairest winner at the club, has navigated a challenging period over the past two years, marked by injuries and personal issues, but has demonstrated promising signs suggesting a return to his optimal form in 2025. He is presently contracted to the club for an additional five years, with a substantial annual salary of approximately $1.7 million in the final seasons of his agreement. All at Melbourne are eagerly anticipating his resurgence to his previous peak performance levels.
