Tom, Tom the father's son

[Tony Tea 2,806]

Want to read a "funny" rumour?

Story doing the rounds about Tom Scully,the consensus number 1 pick.

He was brought up by his single mum and Carlton are now in the process of trying to prove that his biological father played 100+ games for them and that they can take him father/son.

All sounds crazy, but this is Carlton we are talking about.

I'm the Father.

[Deeman 1,489]

I'm the Father.

No, I'm the father!

[45HG 1,539]

Can't we bid pick one?

[Sir Why You Little 36,926]

How many Midfielders do those Parasites want???? Uck i Hate those Carlton Pricks....Grrr

Lousy Stinking CHEATS...

[Carn dees 108]

hhahaha, pathetic!

[Hannabal 4]

No, I'm the father!

Good man.

Can't we bid pick one?

yep !!!

that Blue lot are absolute filth...whether or not such nonsense is true.. screw them !!

[Wolfmother 182]

Can't we bid pick one?

Then Carlton have to take him with their next pick (no.12 or there abouts) or let him go into the draft

If true, I presume this means that Scully and his mum are Blues supporters.

Scully is a Richmond supporter and his father is actually God, so technically he is related to Jack Watts and Jack Grimes, and is coming to Melbourne under the illegitimate-brother rule

I heard Tigers.

Just for the sake of this say that the rumour is true...

Carlton would get to bid for a father-son and then if say Melbourne offered a pick (ie 1)...(so say Melbournes first pick is 1 and Carltons is 10) Carlton then have the choice of taking him at 10 because that is their closest pick to the offered pick (so for Carlton, it's a gaurantee if they want him) or if they don't want to give up pick 10, then Melbourne would be forced to take him with pick 1.

With Tom Scully, if this came out to be true and he actually wanted to be a father-son pick, he is gauranteed to go to Carlton because they would take him with their first round pick reasistically

ie, with Ayce Cordy...Doggies wanted to apply for a father-son pick and the Saints said they would take him with their pick 13 so the doggies had to take him with their next highest pick which was pick 14...if they didnt want to do that, the saints would have had to take him...

we do know this is all doo-doo dont we !!

[45HG 1,539]

Sounds like a good laugh.

Wonder how much Visy would offer?

[Jastone 2]

Any sort of source for this? I'd probably die if we lost Scully.

[Guest Rojik of the Arctic]

What are they going to do? Drag some ex player out and pay him some money to say he slept with Toms mum? It would be amusing if it wasn't that stupid.

[Demonised 1,323]

No, I'm the father!

No, I'm Spartacus!

[Trisul 664]

They know we're... Cough.

"Tom....trust your feelings, I am your father, you know it to be true"

Wait a second. How did Marc Murphy get out of the Brisbane F/S drafting? Did he turn it down on the grounds that Brisbane is too far away?

Could Scully do the same thing, despite the fact the club is down the road from us? Man, that'd be awesome. Brisbane would be patting us solidly on the back.

Murphy didn't want to move up to Brisbane.

The Lions tried to move heaven and earth to get him but it wasn't enough.

In the end it call comes down to the individual.

Maybe we can get Maury Povich to host the Draft this year.

Seriously, this is rubbish. If it turns out to be true, I will kill somebody.

Garry Lyon could have gone to Hawthorn under the Father-Son rule. But chose to go to the club he was zoned to instead. Good man.
