I love Scully, thanks to him Hogan and Clark came to Melbourne. Sure Clark will leave but we'll get more than Scully for him at a fraction of the cost. I love how ordinary he is though

Yeah Clark has played 15 games in 3 years and set to leave while Hogan played about 5 minutes in 2014.

Hardly anything to be excited for.

Notwithstanding the disappointing outcome with Clark, his recruitment was an absolute coup for the Club that has struggled to attractive marque talent.

And if you can't realise the opportunity that Hogan could provide this Club then you should consider the hole we would have been in with a grossly overpaid and underperforming Tom Scully.

What was the deal with Barry? What did he cost us? Surely there were others a little more developed available- he still looks a couple of years off it!

Dare I say it...a Mark Neeld special!

From Barrett's regular Friday contribution on AFL.com:

If: Then:

Tom Scully wasn't on a million bucks a year... ...the Giants would be able to properly get involved in the Paddy Ryder bidding. He is, and they aren't able to.

They could apply to the AFL for special draft assistance because exceptional circumstances apply and they would have a fair chance of convincing Professor Mark Evans that they have a case. After all, they're a franchise club and lack experienced players plus its unfair, MABO, the constitution and the vibe are all in their favour.

I agree One Eye the way they were duped by Melbourne was so unfair. As seen on TV

Had Scully stayed, Neeld might have made him co-captain ... and we'd be playing tomorrow.

He was steak knives in the Hogan deal, and pretty poor quality ones at that. Would have been worth a late pick in the draft 4th or 5th round.

Roos rubber stamped a 2 year extension for Dom Barry back in July of this year

The best judges of 1st and 2nd year draftees are the coaching staff. Us supporters are in no real position to judge because we often just don't see enough of these draftees to be able to make a decent judgement.

I'm happy to go with the Roos judgement on Barry
