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

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 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.

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

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

    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.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
