Tom Scully @ GWS

[Whispering_Jack 30,634]

OK ... since everyone's picking on the ex Melbourne players and what they're doing now that they've gone elsewhere, I have some news on master Scully up in Sydney for the Battle of the Bridge where, sadly, I must report that he's been reported for Tom Scully has been reported for tripping Rhyce Shaw. He's not doing well on the field either.

[The heart beats true 18,145]

He's looked good in the 3rd.

[Jesse Christ 2,884]

Almost on the same coin as Ablett Jnr too. What an embarrassing situation GWS have themselves in lol

[Sir Why You Little 37,122]

I like Potatoes.

[ThreeOneSix 954]

I'd still rather Scully than Trengove.

[S.R.J 418]

He is sarting to get a bit of it. Still not worth the money they paid him

[Chook 15,022]

I'd still rather Scully than Trengove.

Dollar for dollar Trengove is miles ahead.

[Gorgoroth 13,016]

He won't get suspended, it was a ridiculous report.

[Sir Why You Little 37,122]

I'd still rather Scully than Trengove.

Jury is still out.

[Curry & Beer 5,444]

watched 1.5 quarters, had no sizeable impact from what I saw. Year number 4, not seeing a superstar, not seeing 50K a match either. I really don't care though, his departure was.. at least in a way ... instrumental in acquiring Hogan, Viney, Toumpas, Clark, Barry and Dawes - getting those 2 picks and the extra cap space completely changed our landscape for the last two drafts, I doubt we would have been able to pull off anywhere near what we did at the trade/draft table if he hadn't been such a [censored]

[Jesse Christ 2,884]

Jury is still out my arse. One wanted to be here, one didn't. It's as simple as that.

When Trengove is truly injury free and match fit there will be quite a few around here eating their words. You forget the kid can play.

[Gippsland Dee 367]

What a dud!

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

I'd still rather Scully than Trengove.

Either way, they are a pretty bad top two picks.

But he came 4th in their B&F. That means he's good right? lol

Agree totally we needed those picks more than Scully

As for rating Scully as a player he is so disappointing: he doesn't impact the game today with any significance

appears too slim, does not get enough clearances

Scully looks like he is trying but does not have the capacity to get enough touches

Scully looks less effective than most other GWS players

Lachie Whitfield is a better player already

Scully must console himself with the $ and the probability that GWS will continue to play him regardless of his meagre influence on the game

Well done Sheeds

With the giants list scully could see a lot of action in the reserves next year. All last years rookie mids have gone past scully.

[jumbo returns 6,741]

He's huge, though...

[71 Molloy 266]

Either way, they are a pretty bad top two picks.

Do both have high ball drops........

Are they in the Clive waterhouse / josh Fraser / kosi class yet? No.

Way too early to write of Trenners. Let him have an injury free run at it before sticking the boots in. His 18's form was as good as any. Year 1 & 2 were better than a pass as well IMHO.

Hw will turm it around.

[TheoX 1,222]

you're thinking of Phil

[Bang Bang Bang 5,839]

Forgetting the $$$ and mercenary stuff for a moment, it's hard to believe that he's entering his 4th year and only a good foot soldier at best. This could certainly change down the track but the clock is ticking.

Who honestly didn't think we had a future great of the game with his junior rep and first 10 games? Has not come on at all. Just not strong and skilled enough at this stage and at 22 he should be starting to hit his straps as a mid.

Still, it's not our problem anymore. I'm just grateful we got the compensation we did because if he was still at Melbourne and playing mediocre football... the vultures would be circling.

And as much as I love Trengove as a clubman, he finds himself in a similar position. Can make excuses for him (some valid) but he needs to start making strides in the not too distant future.

I reckon if he had a decent set of hands on him, he could dead set mark some of his own kicks he puts them up that high. If he ever puts on some beef and flattens his kicks out he will be a good player.

[Little Goffy 14,639]

I think with Scully it is important to remember the kid is barely bigger than Blease. By the same token... Blease has more 'upside' in speed, creativity and agility.

Scully will be alright, I guess. Not $1million worth of alright, or No.1 draft pick alright, but he'll be alright.

[darkhorse72 1,925]

Who cares...

As state we got more than enough in return with the compensation.

[Deestroy All 14,266]

Apart from a 10 minute patch in the 3rd where he racked up some disposal and finally hit a target, he was absolutely terrible.

If you were picking sides using GWS, he'd almost be last picked.

For 6 million I'd rather blow it on a bloke that can take mark/goal of the week, or an enforcer, or some funny bastard to do all the media...

6 million on a little, boring spud. Well played Giants.
