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.

he came about 15o something in the herald sun super player points thing. Still wearing Melbourne jumper as mark of respect.

"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.

Was obviously part of the signing. 'Must finish in the top 4 at the B& F

Their lack of credibility just got even bigger...

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.

Interesting to see the SC player ratings across the league. Grimes is our best at 41.

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.

Curious how Scully beat Giles? Giles has had an excellent year for a one out rookie ruckman.

Though looking at the 6-10 positions, they all had crap years so I would could only argue about one place; we are talking about the bottom team here.

In light of Scully's stellar performance at his new club, I propose that the AFL retroactively compensate Melbourne by awarding them an additional first round pick. I'm sure you'll agree this is more than fair.

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.

    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.
