Player Watch Pick #53 (2022) - Tom Scully

[Enviable Tradition]

Not great hands, gets to contest , very mobile, but doesnt clunk them. Was the knock on him as are junior as was bit of late comer to afl. Reckon he may develop into a leading type, but long way to go still.

His hands have looked pretty good from what I have seen. He seems to have all the tools if he cab build his endurance.

Hopefully not another Sam Hayes.

Tanks not as big an issue for a key forward as a Ruck. He just needs to get down the ground as needed and look like someone better stay with him because you don't want him being used as a way out.

 

[Lefti93]

Goal kicking action looks very smooth and natural. Doesn't seem to be too many flaws, similar to Toddy. Hopefully it doesn't escape him when he gets into the senior team.

Second year on the list. Only 19. He will become a solid presence in our forward line.

Has certainly bulked up over summer

 

[Scodges]

Pair him up with Lord against the Camry crows.

I heard that too and immediately looked him up. Drafted at 203cm. 209 is getting into Sandilands' territory.

Will be one of the guys I will keep half an eye this season...

Think he could be quality AFL player.

But that's up to him... Plus the coaching to get the best out of him self.

Scully's 3 goals in about 5 mins vs the crows.

 

[PJ Power]

He and Georgiades were the only two tall forwards who played well, albeit against weaker opposition.

As far as I’m concerned, a forward set up of Marshall, Georgiades and Scully would be perfectly fine in round 1. Only problem is who plays second ruck.

It would be a bloodbath. Imagine for a second what Barass or McGovern would do to Scully? They would break the record for most intercept marks.

Big unit. He looks to have added a few kg over summer. Hopefully he can continue to add a couple of kgs over the next couple of pre seasons.

 

[Peninsula Boy]

He is quite a good kick for goal.
Can he kick goals from outside 50?

 

[PJ Power]

Those first two marks were super and finishing excellent. This guy’s game has improved markedly if the last fortnight is anything to go by.

And himmelberg might be a dinosaur, but he’s a seasoned player, not some stringbean first year.

 

[Peninsula Boy]

Scully is definitely now on the watch list.

He's put on 5kg not cm.

 

[dirty2]

This is what Scully needs to do..

Think the young fella could be a quality.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

I hope Scully ends up like a Jason Dunstall type FF ie leads hard at the ball, uses his long arms to catch the ball out in front of him, defenders cant get their fists close to the ball and get picked up for chopping arms, and like Dunstall, he calmly goes back and kicks it straight with a very smooth kicking action.

Almost boring, but super efficient.

That means our game style has to change as he isnt the big gorilla you bomb the ball to like Charlie.

I hope he kicks 1000 goals and wins multiple flags too

 

[Ford Fairlane]

He is a rare talent and can change the course of a game in a few minutes. Hope he makes the most of it.

It sounds weird but I was thinking that a bit about Georgiades' game.
