Bulked up Tom Scully to play more expansive role for Giants Giants midfielder Tom Scully has put on 5kgs during the off-season. GWS vice-captain Tom Scully will play a more expansive role for the Giants this season having added 5kg to his frame during the off-season. The new look Scully is developing into a player capable of executing different roles across the ground. Scully, the 2009. 1 draft pick, has spent this pre-season building size and strength to be able to go toe-to-toe with the midfield warrior ball-winners of the AFL in a move that will see him spend more time hunting for possessions. Ahead of the Giants' final pre-season hit-out against St Kilda at Blacktown International Sportspark on Saturday, Scully said GWS are looking to become more versatile to make things uncomfortable for their opposition. While Scully has become one of the AFL's best outside midfielders playing on the wing as an outlet to the Giants engine room at stoppages, he now wants to win the hard ball on his own to giveassistant coach Leon Cameron the option of moving him into the thick of the fray when needed. "It's my fourth pre-season and I want to be able to play inside midfield as well as a number of other positions," Scully said. I want my game to become more rounded. I want to be able to go in there and win my own footy. The majority of my footy will be on the wing and half forward, rotating through the midfield, but I suppose now for me it's just a thing where I can play a run-with role on a good inside mid. We're building a really good midfield at the moment, but if we can all play more positions it makes us harder to match up on. Everyone's got to take their turn to play that role. A lot of the younger guys from last year have gained size and gained some strength in the gym and you can see that in the games now. It's certainly going to give us a chance to be much more competitive in games for longer. That's a big focus for us this year to be competitive for longer and put ourselves in a winning position. The Daily Telegraph revealed last month Scully has bulked up almost 5kg to tip the scales at 83kg. His new frame means the Giants can field an inside midfield group including co-captain Callan Ward and youngsters Toby Greene and Stephen Coniglio. The Giants are expected to field a full strength team for their clash with the Saints, using the match as a full dress rehearsal for their round one match against the Swans.
