2011 Player Review - # 31 Tom Scully

Featured Replies

 

I dont blame Tom, good luck to the kid! Its a blessing in disguise for us I believe as his knees are an on-going corcern.

Yes he lied, but the system in place doesnt leave many options.

In hindsight, he probably shouldve been more a man like Phil Davies, but choose another route and obviously his

his character has and will remain to be tarnished due to the path Scully chose to take.

On the upside, we have Clark - who fits more of a need than Scully, as we can replace Scully with Viney

and we still have a couple of compos to play with.

 

Unfortunately Tom appeared to fill the deep need MFC for have for a true champion, and like women scorned* we despise his betrayal more for the hopes we had invested in him.

So I figure this Monty Python clip best describes Tom in my eyes "

I thought Tom with his elite endurance would be the biggest benefit from the new subsitution rule. Now it seems he will have to manage a 'dicky knee' for the rest of his career; potentially taking away his best attribute.

His first game of the year was amazing in that he was AFL pace straight away with pretty much no fitness base. I think that the player like a KPP or an explosive forward can carry a knee like Tom has, but for a midfielder I have doubts that we will ever see his best.

Haha!! Brilliant film. Now Tom can be the new messiah of Blacktown...how exciting....

May very well have done us a favour. We wouldn't have had a shot at Clark if he stayed and If we use those picks wisely we could come out well ahead.

I still hope his leg falls off.

 

And that's that folks.

Since we started the Player Review series, we've always "pinned" the particular player's review on top of our pages for a few days to honour his contribution to the club and to keep the focus on the player in question for a few more days and then unpinned the thread to allow others to go up instead. Even did it with Brock McLean when he went to Carlton and declared the drive to Casey for training was too much for him. At least he gave of himself to the club (and more when he donated to the Debt Demolition).

However, in the case of Scully, we've decided that he's has had enough exposure on Demonland.

Goodbye Tom or Ned or whoever you are. This thread is locked by popular acclaim and it won't be pinned.

  • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
