just curious, if GWS were after Jurrah as well, which would be the bigger loss? Scully or Jurrah? obviously i love both, but personally id rather keep Jurrah. he changes games in 5 minutes.

Jurrah will win games and Scully will win seasons.

I want both.

Jurrah is a freakshow..TS is a an excellent 'mould' of footballer..u can't teach the Jurrah 'styles'

Jurrraaaaah! 1000% Freak man!

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.

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.

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.

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...

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.

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

    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.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
