You also don't need credible sources in media reporting these days.

Scully playing a little bit like G Ablett today. And North are beating Port. Back to the bottom for the Dees.

[Retrospective 104]

Scully looking OK in the blaze orange today... his best is very good and he is running hard and really stretching the bombers atm. Is he inconsistent week to week? absolutely. I think he is still going to end up a very good player if not a superstar.

My bigger question..... would he be playing as well if he was at MFC... I don't doubt he'd be more inconsistent but would he develop to the same level.

The good thing is we can only suspect but can never really know...and that will get me through another dread filled week as a Dees supporter...one of a tribe of the toughest, stupidest, most loyal and stubborn creatures on the planet

Scully: over-hyped in the first half, gone missing in Q3. Give it a rest Demonland wrist-cutters, he's no loss.

For 1 mill a year you want a bloke who can step up when the team is going backwards. Tom = front runner/downhill skier.

He's going ok... I'll be happy if Trengove has a first half like that tomorrow. Is he worth the brass he's being paid? who knows probably not but he is no spud.

I was never a Scully fan, he has no poise.

He is rigid, rushed and couldn't hit the side of a barn with his disposal.

Good on him for taking the cash, we all would've.

[Wilson7 2,474]

He was good in the first half and got 3 posessions in the 2nd half

[Red Demon 67]

Will get lambasted for this but the Scully bashing on this site is in part to make us feel better about Jack Trengove.

Sugarcoat it as much as possible, make any excuses under the sun, claim that the captaincy must guarantee that he will be become a player, but let's be honest, the 2nd pick was as much an error as pick 1. There have been slower players by foot, and slower players in the head, but in the same player? For one who was meant to be "elite"?

[Hulkamania Brother 52]

fuming we didnt pick Ollie Wines

[jumbo returns 6,488]

This article (particularly the unnamed recruiters) was shallow and vacuous.

I'd rather read about Fergie's cellulite shock.

[rjay 23,906]

'Unsullied'?

[Mr Steve 3,820]

I'm glad he's gone, but he's first half was great.

[jumbo returns 6,488]

I'm glad he's gone, but he's first half was great.

That's because he's a good player and runs hard to contests - but, at the end of the day, he didn't want to stay.

[beelzebub 22,225]

Why does anyone really give a flying fig about this spud anymore.

We off loaded this overarated judas and for mine have got the better of it.

We surely have more to concern ourselves about than another piece of media [censored] stirring.

We all know it was a semi mistake to have taken him but whats done is done and pick wise we recovered value quite well.

All this really shows is we gett very little right at Melbourne and hindsight shows he was but another cockup.

Hopefully now with the likes of Jason Taylor having a hand in future directions of drafting we wont be so inept. Even recent picks are yet to be proven beyond dount but look a lot more promising

Spud Scully is done and dusted, surely we can move on. Its like this forum , as is our club is perennially trapped in the tarpits, unable to move forward

spot on bb, but a bit of clay pigeon shooting is still a bit of fun

talking of Jason Taylor, whatever happened with the allegations of him getting into some dust-up on an AIS overseas trip?

Emma Q said he had nothing to worry about, so we put the torches and pitchforks away.

[monoccular 16,065]

Maybe it's the devil's advocate in me, but I'd like to revisit T Sully in 2-3 yrs and see if he's not trying to be traded to the Toiges. He was supposed to be super keen to go there before we got the no1 pick thanks to Jordie McMahon. In 2-3yrs he'll have gotten the bulk of his $millions from GWS and perhaps be keen to play his prime years at Tigerland, as he originally wanted. Isn't his family big tiger fans, not that it means all that much?

Like he will swear lifelong loyalty to them too ????? :-))))))

yes i know. she said that very early in the piece but there was still some press after that

the club said they were looking into it but have never come out with a statement

oh well it does seem to have died out....best leave it there i suppose

[Ron Burgundy 8,584]

Scully will be a very good player. I have no doubt about that.

However, unlike every other quality mid in the competition, I am very happy for him NOT to wear the red and the blue. Just don't like the look of the bloke.

The recruiting regrets I have are not selecting Zarahakis, Darling and Sloane - all seemingly obvious selections. No regrets about Scully though - the compensation we received has more than made up for his loss.

[Ron Burgundy 8,584]

I know it's been done to death, but geez we've stuffed up a lot of first round draft picks. Quite incredible really.

Try and raise this in the 'Time to go Mark Neeld' thread....no, wait! Ron, you make too much sense!!

Agree + Hurley for mine

In hindsight yes I'd take Hurley over Watts but Hurley was never for one second going at 1 In that draft.

Stuffing up first round draft picks isn't the reason why our players don't work hard enough on the field.
