How's Scully escaping the media wrath? Million a year, racking up 15 posses a game. Spud.

Finally one today in the HUN Pipefitter.

Not exactly a big put down like he would be getting if he was still at the MFC but a couple of interesting stats on less then wonderful figures he is producing.

    I'll purchase all NikNat shares. The guy hasn't had one uninterrupted preseason for a few conditions. He shouldn't even be playing now with his groin.

    One day AFL clubs will work out that you can take 3 steps forward if you are prepared to take 1 backward one. Melbourne should have taken one backward one after the last training before the Geelong NAB Challenge game.

    The new radical treatment option of the future might be an adequate rest phase and aggravation avoidance to the main pathology.

    Add Trengove and it's a shocking return from back to back picks 1 and 2

    Is that the same Trengove who has been playing with a buggered foot for x months / years?

    He has moved from the punching bag to the "glamor boys" at GW$, that is ho.

    and a buggered shoulder apparently

    Meth Coast have flogged him too hard.

    Yes, if he doesn't take a break, he'll go blind and then he'll be of no use to the club at all!

    His average supercoach ranking puts him 11th on the GWS list, who are 14th on the ladder

    would not be in the best 100 midfielders in the comp

    and i absolutely love the justice of it

    Whilst I don't usually agree with threads devoted to laughing at a player's misfortune, I am quite satisfied that people are now generally cottoning on to Naitanui being an overhyped, overrated, lumbering one-trick pony.

    I would not want him at this club, and I am fully aware of where Melbourne is at and what Naitanui is capable of.

    Yes it is. That would constitute a poor return, wouldn't you agree?

    I think he's definitely overrated but that's a bit rich. Give me Natanui over Spencer or any of the other ruckmen we have any day.

    Scully, poor development or just a case that this number 1 was a good, average footballer at best? I think Scully is a good example that it is more about the cattle, than the development. I think Scully has tried to tick every box in his personal development, that is part of the reason he got the hell out of MFC as soon as his Dad could set it up. At GWS he has had every chance to develop but at the end of the day he is a super fit accumulator. What are his weapons? Not explosive speed or size, power, strength etc. He is a good accumulator of possessions without a laser like kick.

    It just seems to me that everytime we have been down the bottom and in line for the early picks, there has not been that much there. Morton, Scully, Trengove, Watts for example and we could go back to 2003 re Sylvia. It could be development but I don't buy it, except maybe Sylvia who did have potential X factor skills but never applied himself.

    Natanui is an exciting player who can turn a game around. Tightening one's anus has never achieved anything.

    Neither has posting a cyanosed face with fangs and conjunctivitis.

    That's wading in with a pretty big stick for posts 4 and 5!

    Basically what I said over a year ago.

    If Hogan comes up and Barry can improve to AFL standard, it will have to a deal in the Pitura mould of many years back or the Fields deal a few years later.

    For those that don't know the overhyped Pitura was traded by Swans to Tigers who gave away Teasdale a Brownlow winner and Jackson who played about 200 games for the Swans and another player I have forgotten.

    In the Fields deal the Swans got Fields from the Bombers who got in return the Danihers.

    Both Pitura and Fields did little at their new club with Fields doing better of the two.

    The GWS money man is not a shadow of the player he was hyped up to be. Wonder how quickly GWS would agree to undo the contract now. This will hurt them for several more years. Makes me smile to think about it.

    Scully was never gonna live up to his paypacket

    But ive seen him play a few times this year, and i see him gut running and hes gone back with the flight a few times, including one courageous mark against Melbourne

    Watts has never done those things

    The third player was Brian (the Whale) Roberts who was a great servant of the Swans.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
