Speaking at the NAB AFL draft camp in Canberra, Scully said he would bounce back quickly from the injury that saw him miss the Stingrays' grand final loss to the Calder Cannons.
"It's fine. I had an arthroscope on it. I fractured my patella. It's a four-five week injury and I'll be back to training so it's not a big injury."
Scully has been widely tipped to be the first player picked at this year's draft but he says he is far from over the line.
"I'm definitely keeping an open mind. You never know right up until the day of the draft what's happening. You never know what the clubs are thinking. That is something I'm not thinking about a lot, I'm just keeping an open mind," he said in Canberra at the NAB AFL draft camp.
"I think that's all external pressure. What the media are saying is out of my control and all I can do is just what I'm capable of. Whatever happens from there is the clubs' choice. I'm trying to do everything in my ability to give myself the best opportunity."
He admitted he would enjoy the prospect of wearing the red and blue next year.
"I'd love to play for Melbourne. It is a fantastic club and has a proud history. Their list is fairly young and developing and they are going to be a good team in the next couple of years."
Scully is not undergoing any of the physical tests at the draft camp as he recovers from the knee injury but he says he would much rather be a part of the action than watching on as other draft hopefuls strut their stuff.
"It's pretty frustrating. I'd really like to be out there having a go. You want to measure yourself up against the other players and have a go at it but obviously I can't do much about that now."
AFL talent manager Kevin Sheehan said Scully was a standout player who would rightfully go high in the draft.
"He is a wonderful young leader and a very modest young man. He is an absolute professional and he is a super athlete. It is a pity we won't see him do his beep test but he did one up here when he was at the AIS and he had to be pulled up at 15.5," Sheehan said.
"He's quite an exceptional runner but it is his work around the ball which is fantastic. He is so intense around the footy with his quickness and his quickness of mind as well. He is an outstanding prospect."
