Stuff the VFL.

Play him as the sub on Friday night. If we don't see him Friday night I can't wait for the following week our midfield will be Scully, Trengove, Gysberts, McKenzie, Evans plus a few older boys Moloney, Sylvia, Jones.

Would love to be there to hear the roar of the members when he runs on to the MCG for the first time this year. Be it against Carlton, Essendon or Collingwood (did mention a few weeks ago that I didn't expect his return to be this match, it may well be), that roar will be our way of saying "You are a true Demon, and will be forever".

Sadly I wont be there, but would like to think the other 35,000+ members will make up for me. You wont get that sh!t out at Rooty Hill.

I would love that too.

Personally, I hope we can get 65,000 because we're playing Carlton. We got a shade under 50 last year on a Sat arvo, but with the form the Blues are in...

This is the best news in ages, maybe give him a game in the VFL, couldnt stand him being pushed to hard, in saying this 9 weeks is a decent rest

The problem with Scully is the club will never push him too hard, he pushes himself so whether he plays at Casey or Melbourne this guy can't help but work hard. At least having him as a sub we can limit his game time.

You can't limit the time a sub spends as you can't control if and when an injury may occur (i.e. last week tappy in the first brought Bate on for most of the game).

Tom should play VFL if he can't go a whole game.

It will a big ask for him to come back straight to the AFL after a chronic knee injury and having 12 weeks off. I reckon they will play him in the VFL.

Cause we're soft, we are choir boys and we give up....Its not a problem with Scully. :rolleyes:

Im starting to get excited again!

Hopefully after Davey serves his time in the VFL he comes back flying! Hopefully...

Great news. Put him in the VFL and then hopefully he does enough to get through.

Scully and Trengove both due to return should put the pressure on a few of our midfielders. Especially up against Carlton I'll be looking forward to seeing what Jones, Moloney, Sylvia, Evans, McKenzie, Gysberts and Jetta can produce.

Davey has to play. His last game at the G was a ripper against Adelaide. Only 2 weeks ago. Scully should play if he thinks he is up to it.

Surely youd run him in the magoos . Blow some cobwebs, get some matchfitness.

As seductive an idea as Scully playing in Red and Blue is logic suggests easing him back to the fray.

I'm in the "play him at Casey" match, he's still very young and as much as he is a quality young player, I'm sure he will be rusty and I'd rather ease him into it and get him some math fitness.

Has never played for Casey... and if he is to play would have loved the club to name him at the last minute, just for the whole Scully factor, Carlton wouldnt be prepared for it etc, create some buzz

To a lesser degree would maybe help us hit a high 55-60K+ at the G this friday, not that this is a reason for playing him

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
