Scully finishes 4th in Sheedy Medal

In slightly unrelated news, the other player we lost during last year's trade period (Matthew Warnock) has been nominated for the AFL's MVP award (every club has to nominate their three best players): http://www.aflpa.com.au/news/post/afl_players_announce_2012_mvp_nominees

Having not seen too many GC or GWS games, I'm probably in no position to comment. But it looks as though Warnock has been of more value to the Suns than Scully has been to the Giants.

"Tom's fourth placing was the result of an anomaly caused as a result of the use of a system of weighting the judges' votes," said Giants' CEO David Matthews after the count.

He also refused to confirm or deny that the club's assistant director of recruiting based in Melbourne, Mr. Phil Scully was on the judging panel or that he devised the weighting system itself.

Heavy stuff indeed!

Do they really have to insist on typing GIANTS in capitals every time in this story? Dont tell me they do it all throughout their website (no I'm not going to look) as some kind of ironical branding. UGH.

Pretty much every article I've read involving GWS and Gold Coast have had their moniker's spelt in capitals... no idea why and it's absolutely annoying to read.

It's bollocks, he was useless this year, they are only trying to justify how much there paying him, they know he's a dud but don't want to admit it.

WARD WINS INAUGURAL SHEEDY MEDAL

What a joke!

I can think if about a dozen players that had a better year than him.

Callan Ward has been very good all year in a crap team. He was a shoo in

When one considers that only 5 players played more games than him then it's feasible.

On a stats average he rated 11th, but it's subjective. And the following doesn't rate efficiency, hurt factor, etc. He's a fail.

An epic one at this stage.

MFC have dodged a bullet with the 2 PPs. Very lucky.

Not if you're a Bulldogs supporter..........Callan Ward won!

Poor Bullies!

Ward is elite already!

Scully isn't Wards bootlace, we got great compo in comparison to the Bullies.

    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

    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.
