Scully is just Neale-Bullen with a first round pick aura about him. 

What a load of BS, ANB plays with his heart, god I wish he was a better kick but that pays no respect to him, and he deserves it.

Imagine being Tom Scully.

You play at 3 clubs where you're remotely never going to be welcomed back for any future player functions, or part of any 100 game club where you receive life membership at the club..

You'll always be a loner Scully.

Oh, but I guess he will always have his millions.

Adonski, it goes to show that top draft picks are best used to recruit talent and class, not work rate. By all means screen the talent for attitude, and if work rate is not there than ask why not, but then back your culture to get the most out of each recruit.

Josh Kelly is as smooth as Egyptian cotton.  But boy, he doesn't like getting his hands dirty.  It's in him to get a hard ball, but right now he's a seagull.  He better pull his finger out or he'll quickly become another overrated player.  There's no press about him, but he should be dominating games and he's presently not much more than a rich man's Scully. 

I thought Josh Kelly was going to be the best player in the competition. I’m not sure what has happened to him but he has gone backwards big time.

Signed a mega million $ contract.

With his and all the talent around him he should be starring.  But like many of his teammates, they know they are good and think it will just happen without the hard work...

...recipe for a lot of unfulfilled careers.

Roos' original preference for Billings over Kelly may turn out to be the right call.

That's a bit personal. To quote Justin Bieber, "Who cares who the haters hate".

I will take your word for it. I could handle being an average player who got paid $ millions. I would sleep well ever night.

So true.

Maybe hawthorn could have done with some fat, unfit players like Petracca today.

I remember this dude awful exploitation by some Hawthorn lowlifes

 

Big Philly Scully Would have been quicker.

 

Just look at what others from the '09 draft class have gone on to do. Scully is destined to fade into obscurity.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
