Look, The scully saga is going to go on for months. So i thought it would be a good idea to start 1 thread.

The problem is we can't afford to pay Scully 850,000 plus per season.

We can however back-end his contract though right? this means that we pay him less now, but a LOT later. This would be at a time when, if all things go to plan, we should have more members and more money.

Also, our other options are to do what judd and Carlton did. Pay Judd a couple hundred thousand to perform an ambassadorial role at visy. We could do the same with Scully.

And lastly, what compensation would we get for Scully if we lost him?

So ultimately, i dont see why we couldnt keep scully if we back ended his contract as well as offered him a Judd-Visy type job offer.

Thoughts?

 

He could be the "Ambassador" for Gutnicks Diamond mines. In all seriousness we have some wealthy supporters In high places and If push comes to shove I'm sure we could some sort of 3rd party deal In place.

I don't think we need to stress about this to much.

I had the honour of meeting Eddie MacGuire a few years ago. When I told him I barracked for Melbourne he replied with, "Well you better get out there and rattle the tin".

Cool, so it should be over within a month. ;)

I think we should just let the club and Scully go about it's business without all this MFCSS huff & puff.


We won't know which way he's leaning for months, and possibly not until the end of the season and trade time, so why not drop it until we have something to discuss?

Lets give Tom Scully a bit of credit

He looks and acts like a professional

I've got a feeling he will stay because of the incredible upside that the Dee's will have over the next few years.

Make no mistake, money is important but so are a lot of other things in life.

Thanks for starting a new Scully thread Freak.

It's exactly what this forum needed.

Anyone got one of those facepalm images handy..?
 

I think it's time to put this thread in lockdown mode and leave only one Tom Scully thread running for the time being.

Sorry, but the saga's already getting tedious, it's only into the first week and the decision won't be made for another 30 weeks.

There's still one thread there for the tragics and masochists.

Please go here if you are that way inclined.

The rest can choose to ignore it.

Thanks people.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
