R.Petterd 20d 15k 5h 3 goals 4 marks to 3 qrt time. Good stuff Ricky Bobby!

How good has Petterd been tonight! I like him playing up the ground a bit more, then resting deep

Mrs Ucanchoose here - I've been reading this thread while watching the game, and finding myself more and more amused with the antics of some of the posters tonight regarding Tom Scully - it's like I'm reading the posts of a bunch of women on a parenting messageboard, arguing about the best way to toilet train your toddler!

Three Quarter Time

Melbourne 6-2 9-6 16-8-104

Port Adelaide 2-2 6-4 10-5-65

Go Ricky and Hank.

Is it his fault he is being offered money?... regardless, he is a player who has played less than 30 games and he deserves credit when he does good things... just like any other player.

YAY lets turn the game day thread into the Tom Scully thread cos we havnt discussed that much.....???

Petterd has been excellent as have Maric and Jones... I finally realised who Maric reminds me of to look at.. Kostya Tszyu!

Yes I do say so... and all is explained by the fact you talk about him in past tense. Those grapes must be very sour.

He is doing some very good things for a sub 30 game player. He is an extremely quick learner and will only get better as he gets more experience.

Well said...This past tense thing is giving me the Sh!tes..Tom Scully is wearing an MFC Jumper right now.

Hope Watts is subbed off. He has done a lot of hard running and is spent.

Morton can stay on. We have this game in the bag, and he definitely wont be playing next week so no need to keep him fresh.

Much better quarter from Scully. Getting into it a lot more and actually running Cornes off his feet. Good work!

This is entirely in relation to his game today.

Agree entirely.

Don't we have a thread for the compulsive obsessive types who have nothing else to discuss 24/7 than one Tom Scully's contractual arrangements?

Yes Jack has done a lot of work unnoticed really. But a great Team effort..Nice one Jack.

Same with Tom Scully.

Scully subbed off.

Cue haters.

Scully subbed off? Weird. A fourth quarter in conditions like this = THE SCULLY ZONE

Petterd kicks a behind from a tight angle. Dees 16-9-105 Port 10-5-65

Scully subbed, can you believe it!

Scully copped a knock in the back in the third quarter, it did trouble him a little.

Scully subbed off.

Cue haters.

They are on auto-cue. But was great to see Howe straight into the action with an excellent tackle.

Scully subbed off.

Cue haters.

That's a strange one seeing that he's so fit although, on the other hand, it could be to ensure that he's fresh for next week v Hawthorn.

Scully subbed, can you believe it!

Hurt his shoulder in the marking contest.

Port first goal to Cornes. Why do certain players have to play their best game against us lol

Chadwick gets one back. Dees 16-9-105 Port 11-5-71.

message from Mr Ucanchoose - Morton = meataxe!!

Morton really concerns me, I guess the conditions don't really suit him tonight but his disposal has been very poor.
