They are starting to look like Melbourne from about 1965 until 2010.

Don't EVER compare that pathetic, stand-for-nothing, franchise to our great club who has stood the test of time for over 150 years and invented the sport we all love.

When GWS have 12 premiership cups and some of the best players in the history of the game to boast about, then talk to me.

Terrible comparison.

Hope Scully is feeling sick with jealousy watching his old teammate receive the captaincy today. While Trengove will be leading his proud traditional club onto the G each week, Scully will be running around an empty unfinished ground with 3 fans and a dead possum on his head.

Don't associate that rodent who has been run over by a lawnmower with possums. They are cute and lovable creatures.

You might want to buy a membership from them with statements like that.

John Northey and even ND on his day don't deserve to be compared to that junk yard.

Like it or not Melbourne had been a rabble for a long time. Especially with regards to training facilities before Casey and AAMI came along.

Granted, but you were comparing apples with oranges.

It looks like he's sporting Jack Trengove's number and a terrific new hair cut ... GIANTS JUMPER NUMBERS REVEALED

Is that a $kunk tail ?

He's gone and that no longer concerns me, but I will love watching him fail as often as possible...

and I did laugh ...... I reckon he'll stay ....

Go Dees give 'em HELL !!!!

The contrast between seeing the picture of Scully in a paddock somewhere with his shiny new GWS jumper and bogan haircut against seeing Trengove standing up in front of the press as the new MFC [joint] captain gives me goosebumps.

What a waste, squandering the prestige number 1 draft pick on someone so undeserving.

Yes, it's interesting how two guys that were successively drafted to the same club at similar ages can now be so far apart in so many ways due to different outlooks and descision based thinking. Whilst not bagging anyone, one player has made selfish and clandestine decisions, and may continue to do so, versus the other who it could be argued makes more selfless descisions, signing longer term contract when not needed etc.

The contrast as the years and individual descisions roll by will be an interesting study for us onlookers. There exists even at this early stage an ever widening gulf of respect between the two.

Looking at the photo in this thread i have to agree. A sad waste of a pick.

He must occasionally look at all the positive things that have happened at his old club over the past 5 months and compare it with the rabble that is the Giants and wonder what he has done.

You sort of get the feeling that Neeld would be the perfect coach for him too.

That's ok - he's still got Sheeds.

I am just so relieved that we tanked and got Trengove as well as $cully - I don't think I could have lived with missing out on Trengove AND Martin.

Too true Dr. Those 2 seasons were hard to swallow even on a good day. To walk away with no Gold would have been almost laughable, if it wasn't so serious. We got one wrong & one right.

LOL......that might have gone over a few heads but you are spot on........he looks exactly like him!

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
