Gabba Training

Just got back from watching the Dees complete a light training session at the Gabba. It was only about 30 min but after that they signed autographs and had photos with the supporters. All Dees players were great and happy to chat and sign autographs. A special mention to Beamer, Sylvia and Frawley for there time.

A question was asked to Connolly of how Scullys injury was and the answer was (as we thought) they are taking it extra extra carefully with him. What I found interesting and didnt know was that he has a mentor. The mentor is none other than Gary Lyon. When I heard this I asked Connolly does Watts have a mentor and he said no the coaches deal with him.

Maybe it would be good for Watts to have a mentor say the "Ox" just to help him and get him more in the game and be more aggressive. Could be good for his development along with the coaches being in his ear.

All up this avo was great and congrats to the MFC. Hopefully to top it off we will all be happy this time tomorrow.

    The Ox would be a great mentor for Watts.

    Heard him talk once about playing centre half forward. where to run etc. knows his stuff.

    Knew how to mark in a pack, and was a talented skinny kid who developed into a champ!

    Spot on DeeZee. the more you hear things (by the Ox and the coaches) the more it will sink in. Just ask my wife!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Neita would also make a great choice IMO.

    Ox yes. Neitz no. Agree both were agressive players but Watts needs to be taught where to run and position. Ox was very smart in this regard whereas Neita was more a see ball/get ball player.

    Scully having Lyon as a mentor is a worry.

    Now you know that you need to expand if you're prepared to make comments like that.

    You're disparaging both in one sentence. Scully may have a mentor, but I reckon he's also got a terrific head on young shoulders. He'll do what's best for himself and the club.

    That said, I'm not certain what you mean.

    Have you had a decent chat to Garry about footy and life?

    He's not perfect but he talks a good game and he was a great footy player.

    Yeah, I also would like to explain where you're going with that.

    i see that completely opposite to you. i would have thought it be a bonus to keeping Skully, as Lyon still bleeds red and blue, just does not show it as much as other media personalities

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
