Player Watch Pick #53 (2022) - Tom Scully

[GremioPower]

He doesn’t look one dimensional in that footage at all. Does a bit of everything.

Highlights can be deceiving though.

Get a video of Messi’s lowlights, and he would look awful. My highlights maybe could make me look respectable.

The main point here is that we weren’t afraid of going tall again. Were all the flashy flankers gone by then?

 

[Us against the rest]

Welcome to Hinkley Ville I mean Port Adelaide Tom.

 

[It Just Is]

Probably the player I wanted most in the draft. I reckon he’ll play AFL sooner than anyone expects.

 

[x_les_x]

Was reading somewhere he could possibly grow to 207cms. With his hands oh boy

 

[EskimoPAFC]

Could be not only Port Adelaide's greatest ever player, but maybe even the greatest player to ever play the game.

Reminds me of Kurt Tippett

You're assuming he isn't already?

Reminds me of Kurt Tippett but happy to be at the club that drafted him.

Balfour's sponsorship incoming perhaps.

Ripper lad!

Congratulations Tom, dreams do come true!

 

[Long live PAFC]

Good luck Tom.

Will be a long term prospect. Here’s hoping he can be that diamond in the rough KPF that comes good outside the first 15 picks.

Kicking action looks ok.

Is that him standing next to Kens previous tall forward selection?

Good to see he's met Jake Neade already.

You are the biggest human being I have ever met!

 

[Lefti93]

Welcome Tom, always good to see a Port supporter recruited to the club. Even better when he's a 202cm Port supporter.

[Chewy316]

For a big man he moves awfully well. He doesn't look to be one of those bean poles who will be a slow and cumbersome lumberjack - his frame suggests he could have Hawkins type size, though I wonder if given his height he might fill out a bit more like Joe Daniher.

Either way I look forward to seeing his development in the coming years.

 

[Grave Danger]

Midriff only shots quite understandable for these beanstalks.

 

[robbo1981]

You could be forgiven for thinking he kicked most of his goals because he is so much taller then most of his opponents at that age.
But that's not the case very good on the lead and surprising good at ground level.
These are the type of players you should be picking late in the draft and is great we are looking to future really happy with this kid.

[El_Scorcho]

This is the best one of these name-read-out vids I've ever seen. You can tell before his name was called how much he wanted us to pick him. So chuffed for him and excited to have someone for whom it means so much.

[Rigs]

Speaks very well. Welcome to the club

 

[Ford Fairlane]

He is so pumped to be at Alberton. Brilliant to see his real enthusiasm.
