This just makes Scully's position even harder I guess. It's going to be a long year and this talk is going to continue week in, week out. Damian Barrett is convinced an offer "too good to refuse" has been made, and he is one of few journo's I pay attention too. He got a lot right last year (though, he got some wrong too). At the end of the day, Scully is a Demon now and it's not point looking too far ahead (like many of us, including me, were yesterday). Even Tom probably doesn't even know what he is going to do, so any other person's guess it just that.

It is nice to hear Jack speak about the club in this way; and hopefully it signals that he intends to stay with the club as long as they support him and offer him what he deserves.

What a great press conference it'll be when Scully announces his decision to stay.

Just visualise the characters around him, beaming and patting him on the back. The relieved, slightly embarassed smile on his face.

Keep that in your head, how good it would be.

Would you go into a final thinking about how sad it would be if we lost it? Only if you hated yourself!

Surely you must be kidding!

Damien Barrett is one of the worst sports journalists going around.

There's a lot of bad ones, but he is an absolute shocker.

Wait - I thought Trengove had a 3 year contract, running out in 2012.

According to this article:

Trengove, 19, signed a three-year contract extension with Melbourne last season and said he had every intention of playing out his career with the Dees.

I don't think this is correct, but if it is we are in a very good position.

Either way, the way Trengove is talking, he seems like a sure thing to stay.

What I'm enjoying in many of the papers and comments is people claiming that we should have offered the same deal to Scully. To the best of my knowledge, we did.

I'm pretty sure we didn't. I was under the impression we only offered a 3 year deal to Trengove and Tapscott to make them feel like they belonged in Melbourne or words to that effect

I didn't say he was a good journo, but quite a few of his predictions/rumours last year were in fact true. Like I said, many were wrong. At the end of the day, it's essentially a 50/50 guess either way, so of course journo's are going to say they 'know', because it's not hard to be right.

I am starting to think he will stay; really cannot see him in that horrible GWS jumper.

Like what?

I can't remember a single thing he got right.

Don't tell me you are going off his role on TFS where he just warmed the seat for Hutchy...

No, I was talking about the Friday night Triple M broadcast. He was confident about Gazza leaving early on, an unlike Hutchy and others, didn't change his mind every week.

Still, it means [censored] all. Jouro's essentially just here about potential 'offers' and base their stories on what THEY would do in that position. Most of them lack any sort of empathy or ability to understand that other people are difference and might not be motivated by money (Caro is the exception here).

Its a hard decision, but what Scully decides will dictate what he is thought of for years to come...

Leigh Colbert comes to mind, he wasnt thought of as highly when he left the cats for north...

Something that needs to be remembered is that Melbourne took Jeff White off the Dockers after 2 years, so we have been in a GWS situation before...

    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
