Our club should be chasing Scully. Who would you rather? Tyson and Nathan Jones on a wing? Or this endurance beast?

I don't care what happened in 2011. People need to get over it.

An outside pacy and skillful winger is what we need and Scully fits the bill. 

 

Pacy and the comps best runner but Scully hasn’t hit a target since he stabbed the knife through us.

Excited to see what Stretch, Baker, Fritsch and Kade Kolo can do on the wings. Until then Vanders can tackle Scully in to the ground

    It looks like pick 62 will be the 'hot potato' this year: 

    #62. Melbourne (received from North Melbourne as part of trade for Braydon Preuss; received from Sydney for Ryan Clarke; received from Geelong for Gary Rohan; originally received from Brisbane as part of trade for Lincoln McCarthy)

    Already changed hands four times!

    With the trades of Kent and Tyson, we now hold picks 36, 46, 54, 62 and 65. 

    I imagine that by the end of the trade period, Josh will pull a 'Mahoney' special which will push us higher in the draft.

    Hopefully the trade a few of these with Sydney to get their 2 round picks

    Keeping in mind the number of picks we need to have enough on our list. I take my hat off to the list team who must keep an eye on all the outcomes.

    Would be most appropriate for $cully to end up at Whorethorn.  Would give me twice the number of reasons to boo the pox riddled little turd.

    Seriously, what kind of culture must Whorethorn be building with a team full of mercenaries, whilst porning off their up and comming players lIke Burton?  I really hope this import led rebuild of Whorethorn is as sucessful as Carlscums latest one and the end up occupying the lowest rungs of the ladder for a loooong time.

    There is a bigfooty write up on him (rumours), I'll try and hunt it down mate or you can look yourself, it'd be on their Port Adelaide board from memory.

    Yes "we're a happy team at Whorethorn":

    https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/afl-trade-news-hawthorn-fans-react-to-news-ryan-burton-is-on-the-trade-table-to-secure-chad-wingard/news-story/efb16a382792eac937af4a4c8e52b5c9

    It also states in the article that Garry Lyon is endorsing the trade due to Whorethorn's outstanding record on trades and list management, so hopefully that is putting the kiss of death on them.

    Yes Whorethorn have traded well to fill gaps during their premiership window, but what they are doing now is trying to build a new core of a team through trading.  Really hope they are being smug overconfident mugs and it blows up in their face in years to come.

    He left Melbourne as the best thing since sliced bread.

    Who would want to play for crappy old Melbourne when you get more money and success at GWS. 

    He would return to Hawthorn as just another professional footballer plying his trade.

    Karma.  

    No premierships, no medals, just a millionaire!

    Very mercenary by him. I would put money on the fact he cannot see a premiership at his fractured and “beloved GWS” so run off to Whorethorn to try and get one before Father Time catches him. Little turd. ? for continued lack of success. Lying to a dying man ?

    Also there is more sense ( with a little humour ) and less anger at other posters, than the rest of DL.

    Laugh all you like. But Scully at Hawthorn is a better chance of a flag than Scully at GWS.

    Its regarded by the perpetrator as being okay.

    Many do for money and not even for money.  

    Money is a corrupting force and the clubs and players are part of the corruption.

    Its not an industry in which ethical and respectful behaviour is found in spades. 

    T 

    He can call it what he wants.

    Not much different to what he said at the airport, that he hadn't committed to GWS yet and was only going up to have a look. Next day a fully professional video came out of him in GWS gear saying he was Giant. 

    If people make statements to knowingly deceive others, what are they called?

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
