Hoping Scully stays for the long run

Really hope melbourne lock scully in for a much bigger contract soon, i belive he has a 2 year deal atm and Trengove has a 3 year deal? I like most feel he is very vulnrable with GC, and GWS coming???

Quite a few around here need to have a crack at "Living in the moment" The past is done and the future hasn't happened. Try the present, it's quite refreshing.

I agree, Let's support the team hard this year so Scully plays in some great wins. Then the temptation to leave will be less.

At the same time i am not a fan of Long contracts. Too many things can happen-plus i think a player can get a little comfortable with a long contract.

By saying that List Management is absolutely crucial & we should never let our Top Shelf get away.

I'm confident he will stay, the horizon of premierships to come would be a lot more enticing than the common dollar.

Need not worry i have a fare idea the FD will be doing what needs to be done and some how i think he will make the priority list!

The life of a Melbourne supporter - fear the worst, and revel in being the first to fear what eventually happens.

It's a defence mechanism.

Let's grow: Scully will play 250 games for the dees and win a flag or two.

Anything else would be disappointing.

That's easy to say when you aren't having a couple of million bucks waved in your face :-)

I think you will find that some players will stay loyal no matter the money, Tom Scully is a local boy, so no go home factor, if you look at the few big moves that have happened it wasn't exactly the player looking at jumping ship...Aker from Brisbane, Fevola to Brisbane, Burgoyne I think had burnt too many bridges at Port, maybe the only one recently who has chased dollars is Robbie Warnock.

As another poster stated the FD will look after everything.

On a side note, I asked Tim Harrington a few of these questions, he is already looking at the end of the season, and you will see more deals tied up in the near future, of course he can't tell me as they are ongoing.

One good bit, Jack Viney is a definite, they have already spoke to him and Todd and he wants to play for Melbourne and they will use whatever pick they have for the Father/Son

I have been chatting with a mate from work who is a recruiting officer for WCE and we got onto the topic of players leaving clubs for whatever reason, homesick, money, more opportunities.

When you think about it, how many players leave for other clubs each year? Not too many.

And how many important/star (or future star) players leave their clubs? Again, not many.

I think people worry too much.

Scully will stay and will be a star in a hopefully great and successful team on the future.
