I'd still rather Scully than Trengove.

Why?

What qualities, characteristics or abilities does Scully have over Trengove that would make you blurt out a statement like that?

If you consider the booty of picks and trades we gained out of the Scully fiasco, you can't come to any other conclusion than contrary to the popular line peddled among the sheep in the media, tanking did in fact ... pay.

You mean "experimentation" did pay

You're trying to extract reason from a guy who thinks Jurrah should be behind bars for the rest of his life.

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.

But they got his father as the most highly paid recruiting executive in the AFL. Tom was only bait, it was his dad that they were really going after, anybody can see that now!

Dodged a bullet with Scully. He's going to continue to struggle. Being the no 1 draft pick is enough pressure. To walk out on your club after 2 years and believe you are good enough to be on ablett money, well now you're really gonna struggle.

How jack watts gets raped in the media and this bloke escapes it all is beyond me!

Scully's advantage at junior level was his freak running. He'd get to double the contests of his peers. And in those days his lack of size wasn't an issue, as even the bigger and taller kids were skinny.

These days his size is an issue, because he gets monstered "inside" and just about every other midfielder is as fit. Combined with his ordinary disposal skills and a once junior gun now equals Mr. Vanilla.

Saw that post and thought the same. I think he was just trying to be contrary.

Him being on (or near) Ablett money is ridiculous! Surely it creates some animosity towards him from his teammates. If his form doesn't pick up, I can't wait for the new contract negotiations in a few years. Should see a fair drop in $ worth.

I'm quite surprised at the naivety and ignorance of some posters in potting Scully and especially Trengove.

It's... flabberbasting.

Locked in for $6,000,000 over six years, plus the additional monies from outside the cap. I am sure the Melbourne could have matched his offer, however, who is silly enough to offer $6million over 6 years for potential?

His true character shone through over that whole debate over whether he was staying or leaving.

Go Dees

I'd still rather Scully than Trengove.

I wouldn't.

Who honestly gives a toss about Scully I know I don't!

That traitor isn't even worth the bother posting about.He swapped playing for one of the oldest and most prestigious sporting organisations in the world for some corporate franchise.Fcuk him i say and leave him consigned to history where we belongs.

Scully and Trengrove: only Melbourne could waste top picks like that

A Captain and a star full-forward is not a waste.

Which of you guys wouldn't take the stupendous money on offer in his position? Left out of this discussion is the role of KS who has wasted a big pile of GWS's shopping money just to exact some kind of payback on Melbourne for not appointing him coach.

Why didn't he tell Jim that so instead of lying to his face?I can't say for certain what i would have done but i would have given a man of Jim Stynes caliber and stature a straight answer.

Jesus, Trengove is starting to get some crap on here.

I don't understand why - Trengove will be a star and has done absolutely everything asked of him by this club.

Get off his back FFS.

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.

I think with Scully it is important to remember that he's a [censored].

Sculldog Millionaire is overrated - we all know it. GWS know it - why else would they constantly try to say how great he is (to justify the overspend they can now see).

Compare sculldog to his draft peers and you'll see what I mean.

He lied to Jimmy - end of story.

But he did us a favour in leaving. We dont need any more soft outside mids. Until recently we had those in droves...
