Greater Western Sydney captain Callan Ward rates teammate Tom Scully as the best defensive footballer he’s played with.
Ward says the ex-Melbourne midfielder’s tackling has teammates in awe.
“Defensively, Tom is probably the best I have ever played with,” Ward said on Wednesday.
“And he’s the best I have ever come across in terms of being able to trust him.”
Scully is averaging 17.5 possessions and 4.2 tackles a game but would prefer his solid stats be traded for wins.
“Team performances over-ride all of that,” Scully said on Wednesday.
“We are still remaining positive … we are looking at the smaller things that matter and each week we have seen a progression in the areas we have been focusing on.
“We have been good in patches but are yet to put four quarters together.”
The Giants host Adelaide on Sunday with ruckman Dean Brogan having served his three-match suspension for a hit which broke the jaw of St Kilda’s Jack Newnes.
Scully said Brogan’s return raised hopes of upsetting the Crows.
“We certainly go into every game hoping we can win,” he said.
“If we can turn up and adhere to the structures the coaches are asking us to do, and we are disciplined for four quarters, we’ll be in with a chance of a win.”
