Tom Scully is ours for the taking!



Recommended Posts

Now the Dockers have beaten Essendon, we HAVE to come 16th, which means we take Tommy even if we beat the out of form Saints next week!I guess we're playing for Trengove, now! Pick 1, 2 and 19 is far better than 1 and 19!!

Let's hope the Saints don 't rest their stars(despite the shorter break than us), and really go for it next week.

The trouble is, using that reliable tipping guide of recent results.....we killed Freo by 10 goals. Freo killed Essendon by 6 goals. Essendon beat St Kilda. We should beat the Saints by 16 goals!

What a strange season it is, I was thinking the same thing myself except for the part about Melbourne winning next week.

Its not over yet. Lets not be complacent. We could beat the Saints and Richmond could, umm I dont know, they could get docked premiership points for bringing the game into disrepute? :P

After we beat Port I thought it wasnt going to happen. But we did it. Somehow, we did it.

Hello Mr Scully. Let me show you to your locker.

Imagine the atmosphere at the ground if we win-Everybody will be [censored] off!!

there would be riots in the crowd at the end the melbourne cheer squad was sitting, Bailey would be sacked, effective immediantly and deported. The assistant coaches would be looking for a new job next season and the 22 players that took the field that day would have their contracts ripped up and they would never again represent the MFC :P

Am I missing something here? Please tell me if I am. With St Kilda looking decidedly wobbly, the Dees showing that they can occasionally put it all together, and Richmond playing West Coast at Subiaco next week (they're only a tiny fraction ahead of us on percentage), isn't it possible that we might miss out on the spoon ?

What if we beat the Saints? Richmond will get flogged by West Coast and lose percentage, so we could easily end up 15th., meaning that:

1. we lose the PP &

2. Richmond claim Scully (a Tiger supporter).

As I said, am I missing something? For now I'm leaving the cork in my champagne.

Nah, He made the right decision to play a year in the WAFL. But Geez he is worth looking at now.

Draft week is going to be HUGE!

Yeah, youre missing something. Richmond have 5 wins and a draw. We have 4 wins.

Doesnt matter what happens next week, we get the spoon.

If we win, we still get the spoon, but miss out on the PP.

We wont win.

As he is/was a Richmond supporter, I wonder what Tom Scully's opinion of Jordan McMahon is?

Had McMahon missed that kick after the siren, Scully would be all but on his way to Punt Road.

Strange days indeed. :D

But he Didn't Miss so young Tommy will be just down the road from the hapless Tigers!! I am sure Tom will be thankful of that in time.

Careers tend to go Belly up at Tigerland :lol:

Thanks, Einstein! I'm feeling very non-Einstein having missed that, but you've greatly relieved me (I'm following all this from Hong Kong atm) - if I could, I'd share the champagne with you - I'll drink to your health (and Tom Scully's) instead!

I think we snag Pick 18, hopefully Panos is still around then.

My thoughts exactly. Scully, Trengove and Panos would be the ideal top 3.

As for St Kilda next week, it's hard to say what will happen but I think we are in a good position. The loss against Essendon 2 weeks back was long overdue, there were a lot of close wins they were lucky to get this year and this is one where it went the other way. Losing to the Kangaroos this week is nothing short of embarassing, even Richmond has beaten North Melbourne. I think this will make them more hungry to avenge the loss and not go into the finals 3-in-a-row losers, I am expecting them to come at us very hard next week. Add to that a couple of "mystery illness" late omissions and we are golden.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.
