This is a very similar name to that $cully guy who used to play for us. Amazing coincidence.

    2009 AFL Draft

     

    Pick 1. Tom Scully

    Pick 34. Max Gawn 

     

    On one pick we lost huge, but we won 100 x over on the over. Hindsight!

    Well, we eventually turned Scully into Steven May & Tom Sparrow I believe.  And at the rate that Sparrow is improving, he could easily have a better career than Scully.  May was All Australian last year and a premiership hero

    So Scully goes to GWS and we receive a compensation pick in the mini draft (Hogan) in return

    Eventually Hogan goes to Freo and they give us picks 6 & 23 in return (we gave them some inconsequential pick in the 60's as well)

    We give pick 6 to the GCS for May and use pick 23 (eventually pick 27) in the draft on Sparrow

    Turned out alright when factoring in Gawn at pick 34 as well

    All's well that ends well

    As a hopeful and happy exclamation mark. Scully leaving was a critical component of our cherished flag. Big thanks to little Tommy the Tird!

    The tall forward, a former member of the AFL Academy team, was drafted by Port Adelaide in the 2022 NAB AFL Draft. 

    He’s a towering forward who stands at 203cm who hasn’t managed to find a way into the AFL. Melbourne could do with a tall overhead mark like him who can kick straight. I’m assuming Ben Brown will retire at the end of the season.

    Our captain would vomit at the thought.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
