From what I have seen this year, Jack Trengove just keeps getting better. I know that Scully has been hampered by injury, but I think his foot skills are certainly holding him back. Jack can win the ball, as well as having the extra skills, (and size) to back it up. Not saying that this will not change in the future, but I think that if I was sitting at the draft table right now, I would pick Jack.

Totally agree, when they are both playing, Jack just seems to me to have more of a presence on the field.
 

In the long term Trengove will be the better player. The only area Scully has him covered right now is his running capacity.

Scully does not have enough penetration in his kicking, and im not sure that will change, its just his kicking style


Trengove Vs Scully, can't wait for this to happen :( .

He's got 10kg to put on, which may decrease his running but up his kicking length. At the same time playing in a better team would help his accuracy but he'll never be an accurate kick.

I think overall Trenners will be the better all round, but we will marvel at Scully's endurance like we did for Roberts Harvey, and I think he will be elite inside like Harvey and only a decent kick.

I think If I could, I'd take both, to GWS, But I don't think 'Vlad', would allow that to Happen, so I won't try.

Don't want to bight the hand that feeds mine.

Oops, that was a post that should have gone on my GWS board instead,,, a misdirected forumpost. Sorry Sheeds, forgive me, I'm only a young fullback of the Century.

I'm not that experienced at this recruiting caper.

It didn't influence my vote, but I've actually admired JT's media appearances of late - even after the disappointment of the suspension. For a 19 year old, he was also very good on Before the Game Sat nite.


They are both brilliant footballers as you'd expect from pick 1&2. Still happy to have them over Martin but geeeesh I wish Martin only signed a 2 year contract so GWS were also trying hard after him.

I'd rather lose Scully.JT has a much more physical presence,is more versatile as he can play anywhere,takes a better grab and at this point is the superior kick (and signed for 3 years)

Scully has the better tank.

I think it's fair to say the Fyfe is having the best year of the 2009 draftees up to this point, with Martin not far behind. I can't split JT and Scully, both offer so much in different ways. We need to keep Scully.

He signed an initial three year contract instead of the regulation two-year contract that Scully signed.

He still comes out of contract next year.

Trengove. Both will be great players (in their own way), but Trengove strikes me as a better club man - and we need that.

In fact, if Scully does head north, he will have killed the great opportunity that was afforded to this club. We could've had Trengove and Martin (who's proven himself to be loyal), or Trengove and Rohan (or Melksham or any other top 10 pick from that draft).


Picked Scully as he will be a genuine superstar. His kicking doesn't concern me, as his handball more than makes up for it.

Trengove is going to be a great player, don't think he'll reach the heights that Scull will, but that's bloody high.

I think the poll would look a lot difference if Scull had played the entire season, especially after putting a bbit of ink on a piece of red and blue paper.

Trengove every day of the week, he has really endeared himself to the club and the supporters, Scuuly has not. Oh and on football ability alone, still Trenners.

both guns dont need to split them they are different types of players who will complement each other nicely...... hopefully.

i have #31 on the back of my jumper, but i voted for #9 in the poll

Trengove has obviously played alot more this year hes got alot to be exited about; Great marking, great kicking, all round class! Importantly he looks like he loves the club and the playing group

Scully offers us some different skills which are similarly as valuable.

I hope we get to keep them both, because they are both guns. its like trying to ask Carlton supporters whether they'd prefer Gibbs or Murphy :(

Lineball but Scully for me. Trengove is Cousins* to Scully's Judd. Trengove will be the great clubman and leader but love watching Scully grab the ball and accelerate away from the pack or dish out the impossible handball. And hands up if you don't think he will work on his kicking. Want to keep both please

*Without the character flaws


Scully

I always thought it was Scully but clearly I'm wrong

 

Trengove. This time last year I had slight concerns over Trengove's pace, I don't see it as a problem now.

Tough, keeps his feet, great handball, decent kick, brilliant over head and seems like a leader of men.

Scully will be very good, but right now fans and the media overrate him.

This is BS. Both have brownlow potential - but it's scully by a bit (star vs superstar type difference), scully can be THE best player in the league, trenners can be ONE of the best.

If there was no contract dispute and scully was pick no.2 rather than 1 I'm pretty sure most would have a different opinion.

In the end this is simply Ablett vs Bartell. I know some Geelong supporters in 2006 or 07 would have said Bartell but Jr was and is a better player.

Keep the faith and this is just a nice problem to have for the next decade

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
