It had to happen …

SANFL Player Focus: Tom Scully (West Adelaide)

 

He’s staying. 

Isn't there already one of these somewhere? 😝

Unfortunate name. Pass

Number 1 draft pick??

Hope this “TS” is not as greedy as his namesake TS$$$

 

 

i got sucked in nicely.......was fully prepared to vomit

We should get him. Love to win the flag and hear them call out Tom Scully and then Howes. 

I can only imagine what it must be like to be 201cm at the age of 17. I wonder if he's still growing?

Need to know a little about his parents 😎

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

Good luck to the guy, played at the top level, busted his gut yoget the best out of himself.

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

 

201cm?

It's a wonder what a solid diet of bananas can do for a young man.

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. 

Shouldn’t this be in the NO T$, NO BS thread?

Oh boy, this thread might trigger some here 😳 😬 🙃

A Dad named Phil?
