Tom Scully vs Anthony Miles

[TigerTime3]

This is a fascinating comparison, as GWS originally rated one player as its best midfielder on $1 million+ a year, while they delisted the other and he's gone on to be at least equal to their #1 pick. Nonetheless, their stats are not that far apart, making it a fair comparison for 2015.

Scully / Miles

D: 19.8 / 24.4
Cont: 7.8 / 11.2
Eff: 73.5% / 75%
Clr: 3.1 / 6.6
Tck: 4.5 / 4.3
SuperCoach: 79.1 / 99.6
SuperCoach salary: $395,000 / $488,000
Estimated real salary: $1,100,000 / $80,000

Money aside, who will be the better player in 2015?

The player who is not from the OPs teams.

Surely this is Scully's year.

Has another good midfielder around him(Griffen) and the whole team looks like they are ready to shoot up the ladder.

Top 5 BnF for Scully I reckon with a 25 disposal average at 75% DE.

When GWS come good Scully will be like J. Hunt - carried by the team during a premiership window.

Ask any Melbourne supporter he's already a massive Josh Hunt.

Obvious bias, but Miles has been a revelation. Coincidence not sure, but when he came in he gave so much quality inside grunt freeing up Cotchin it added a flow on effect that also helped outside players like Deledio. Wouldnt even contemplate a swap with Scully in a million years.

2015 is Scully's year. He has a much better midfield group around him now and this will help him improve.

I know what you mean but when (while Scully was there) did Melbourne even have an open premiership window?

Scully's only achievement in life was rooting my friend when he was 15, funnily enough she's found herself - a lesbian.

I predict Miles will have a better year but what do I know.

 

[juss]

In terms of value per dollar, its not even close, Miles is the better deal.

Both should have strong 2015s though. I think we finally found a rookie gem in Miles though, the kid can really play.

Love Miles' attitude, seems to be really standing out in preseason so far. Hope now that he is elevated to the senior list, he will still have the same hunger and drive (so far the signs are good).

As for Scully, he's more than welcome to come home to Richmond once his GWS contract is up. Might need to take a big pay cut but he'd be welcome otherwise

 

[the big lebowski]

You would think Miles, based on 2014.

However it will be interesting to see how Miles goes in 2015, with more attention put into him. He would not be the first player to regress after a breakout year.

Maybe there should be polls about was it in Richmonds best interest to get Jordan McMahon instead of the pick that the dogs used for it to get Ward.or the other to get Joel s brother Patrick and countless other ones they screwed up. The football public know to this stage it was a silly move to get Scully, but hindsight is a wonderful thing.Just reeks of Ner Ner Ner type of a poll.

McMahons after the siren goal against Melbourne in round 20 2009 probably secured Richmond Martin.

 

[leekok]

Typical poll containing a Richmond player. Tiger supporters the only ones voting for miles with all negative comments from the other clubs. Looks like we'll have another year of it being fashionable to bag us. Who in their right mind would pick Scully after the year Miles had. Dumb haters.

 

[12Chill]

Is everyone joking here? Lol Scully.

I'll take Miles every day of the week.

 

[MCG-Unit]

Voted for Miles

"Tom is a running machine. His defensive side of the game is extraordinary," Cameron told the Herald Sun.

"He is the best by a country mile at two-way running I have ever seen.

"He will go hard (forward) but even harder defensively, which is great for our young mids."

Yeah good get, but a terrible player to achieve this with

Scully is a piece of s**t.
