Scully yet another early draft pick no longer playing.... how many top 10 picks Scully, Trengove, Watts, toumpas, Morton.....train wreck of our clubs recruiting & development/culture

Pretty damming isn’t it. Whole Club had no idea at all

Yeah. Our strategy of getting a heap of high draft pick kids and just wait for them to develop was shocking.

His will be an interesting Open Mike whenever it happens. Being recruited to a club as one of the "saviours", around while we were an absolute basketcase and then snatched up on stupid money to GWS to be one of their foundation players (and the circus surrounding it). Then suffering a pretty horrific injury and the battle coming back from it.

I've said it earlier, I have very little ill-will towards the guy so hopefully he goes alright in retirement.

 

Watts, Scully, Trengove, Morton and Toumpas. Hundreds of threads, thousands of post and millions of words wasted on them. Like the powerful dreadnought battleships built, served and scrapped without never firing a shot in anger.

1. Open Mike has officially retired (one of my all time favourite shows)

2. We won't hear from Scully. Extremely private fella who'll drift off and most like not have anything to do with footy at all.

Oh damn! I'm UK based so I missed these things, that's a real shame because he has had some very compelling interviews over the years (Trenners was sadly very dour).

You're probably right about Scully as well, he's never been a media personality or anything. Sucks though as I think his journey, while not exactly an illustrious one, is an intriguing one.

Looking back, I feel slightly grateful that the incompetence of the MFC during that period, and the consequent wounds as a passionate supporter (including as a debt demolition supporter), resulted in not very much - certainly not much to celebrate.

I’m almost glad we hit rock bottom, rather than consistently finished 7th to 11th during that period.

Why? Because those among us who stuck fat behind the club will be entitled, and able, to give the middle digit to everyone who patronised us during that period if and when we win the next flag. The roses will smell particularly nice if we do.

I’m sure it’s easy to support the successful clubs. It however takes far more character to support the likes of the Dees. If there was to be a supporters’ draft, we’d consistently be the number one draft pick.

Let’s bring this ship in to port. Go Demons.

Do you really think people who patronised us over six decades will give a damm if you give them a finger?  Most will be pleased an incompetent and dsysfunctunal club found success. However I do not see a premiership side assembled yet and the recruiting of an injured Brown puts us back a step again.

No I don’t.

But I’ll enjoy it.

Nor do I sadly, but yes, we will enjoy it. I told a pack of Hawks supporters at the end of the 77 prelim that we would get revenge. They laughed at my now very hollow words.

It's weird given our lack of success in living memory but there really are people who hate us, with a capital aitch. I don't know why and I am always amazed when I hear it, but I have heard quite a few times people say with real force that they hate Melbourne's guts. So I am with RB and his rigid middle digit.

Now I think of it, I might just change my name to rigid middle digit - Done.

I think it is because prior to our run of success in the fifties and sixties we were an MCC club of elitists. during our period of success we picked up many averagesuburban  kids as supporters in the schoolyards. However the waft of cigar smoke from the members still sticks around.

Really sorry for the Hawks at all this bad luck they seem to be having and hope they can turn it around .

Unless they happen to fold first .

He was the consensus number one, so not just so MFC in this case.

At the time the Tiges would have loved him...grew up a Richmond supporter.

How lucky were they to miss???

Don't be surprised if he comes out of retirement at Tiggerland.

2. He will probably go off into the sunset and play golf with his mates. Oh wait, that should read he will probably go off into the sunset and play golf.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
