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.

Totally agree. Shows amazing leadership, character and courage for a 19yo. Great decision maker and has the ability to execute under extreme pressure. Amazing 360 degree awareness, good finisher. I think Scully too will be elite and as some posters have said we do marvel at his 'gut running' and his ability to accumulate but i think his kicking will always be a blight on him.

Scully is far and away the best young player on our list. No questions.

In 3 to 4 years time he will be dominating the competition like no other.

For those who picked Trengove would you still pick him if it was he who was rumoured to leave?

I chose Trengove who has improved enormously this year on and off the field.

If Scully had not missed so much football at the start of the season my decision may have been different. However, that is not the question asked.

Slightly varying the topic at hand, I see an opportunity just as much as Scully would stay that he would go to GWS also. I say this quite simply that Melbourne has gaping holes in the Centre Half Forward to full forward slot as well as potentially getting a rip snorting ruckman working tandem style with the Russian- perhaps a Jolly return- it would be like a Kiss Reunion or a John Farnham- im back from the grave tour!!. Trengove has been a proven player so far, have seen signs from Scully but not the whole enchillada. Reminds me of the scenario (the player potential per se) around the time when Scott Thompson sooked and went back to Adelaide because he was home sick... Still a gun player but did it bottom out the side- not quite at the time but it did have an impact. However now we have the up comers like Gysberts/ Tappy/ Mckenzie and of course Trengove that can take us to the next level... so stuff him... if he wants or decides to go then so be it. Everyones dispensable at any club. Our clubs been around for over 100 yrs

Stuff what friggin Franky Leach said on SEN Tuesday night where he said he was sick of Melbourne supporters talking about so much Potential, i've been around long enough and have seen many a Melbourne side, remade & rebuilt to say that this is the side that could potentially win us back to back in the next 5 yrs. im seriously looking forward to giving Freo a whoooping this w/end and backing it up with the retribution game against the doggie scratchers the following.....over & out

There is no reason to suggest that Scully will not be better than Trengove. Scully's first 2 games have been great and Scully's last season was better than Trengove's . People are just talking out of disappointment.

When we lose Scully, it will be equivalent of losing about 3 Scott Thompson's. And losing Scott Thompson still hurts us.

We actually play Richmond at the 'G after the Freo game, so you'll have to wait a bit longer for the 'retribution' game :P I do think they are three very 'win-able' games going into the bye, and it'll be interesting to see how Demonland reacts if we win them all.

Leach sounds like he doesn't pay much attention to Melbourne games, given his query over Garland (as reported here: ).

yes its been a long week Rogue, ive bypassed the Richmond game saying that if we dont put them away its potentially end of season (4 making 8) and the fact we've gone backwards in the last 12 months...

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

I know this thread isn't about Tapscott, but when I read penetrating kick I thought just how good can Bull be if and when he ventures to a midfield role. Strong as an ox for the hard ball get and DAMN! that kick of his!!!! Can see him getting it in the centre Beamer style and off a couple of steps kicking it 65m to Jamar, Howe, Watts, Cook (whoever it shall be) at the top of the square time after time! Trenners, Bull, Viney and the run of Scully and the Gys..... mmmmm. :blink:

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    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
