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.

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.
