..according to this.

Bloody good news, just get it sorted Tom and then Sheedy the snakeoil salesman can just bugger off and bother someone else.

Scully's managers Peter Blucher and Alastair Lynch from Velocity Sports are expected to hold discussions with Demons chief executive Cameron Schwab and list manager Tim Harrington in Melbourne.

SCULLY TALKS LOOMING

So can Eddie and his "impeccable" source .

sounds very good

looks like the notion of waiting til years end has been binned, it has been decided that there is too much pressure on Tom and the Club so its time to knock it over


I note that the figure being talked about is now 4 mil for 5 years. Seems his value in media circles is dropping.

No, I think they finally found someone who actually has a grasp on mathematics... they have always stated $800,000pa, but for some reason always rounded it out to a much larger figure.

sounded more irresistable

 

Speculation will intensify leading into the crucial meeting that Scully is leaning strongly toward signing a new deal with Melbourne and turning his back on a massive contract with new AFL outfit Greater Western Sydney.

Just made my day.

We shall wait and see on this one. Fingers and everything else crossed!

BUT..does this mean GWS will target one of our other off-contract players?


Let's hope this all ends in a positive nature. maybe GWS performances over the last 2 weeks have made Tom & his management decide to sign the MFC contract once & for all.

If Tom signs with the MFC within the next week or so, this is a great sign for all victorian clubs, not just the MFC.

It looks at this stage that the AFL will not get the $ Billion Broadcasting rights deal, the money is just not out there. The figure will be lower & channel 7 know it-thus we will not have live Footy on Friday nights.

Channel 7 make more money out of a delayed telecast.

Thats a bloody good sign. A total reversal of his previous managers ridiculous position. This matter has to be buried before we start to play real footy.

Im confident he will sign now.

We have to keep our most talented core as a priority.

Scully, Trenners,Grimes,Watts,Jurrah,Sylvia & Frawley

If we look into one of the 1200 posts on this topic someone mentioned that MFC had created the rumour and will come out and sign him before the season. All about building the Hype into 2011 and 40,000 members. Far fetched more than likely Tom has said I have had a gut full of this media speculation get the deal done so I can concentrate on my footy and not have every person ask this same question.

Does this mean your head is now in the sand?

At the very least, I think you've dug a hole in the sandpit and are poised waiting to make the plunge...

Has to be? Has to be?

Why must we?

It would be ideal, but hardly "has to be".

do you or anyone know who else is uncontracted?

Col Sylvia.

It could go the other way as well they might tell the club he can't keep lying to his team mates and he has signed with GWS

oh yeah and then he'll just play the season out with those teammates knowing he has sold out and his own supporters booing him

come off it

Excellent news.

If they are talking early it's because Scully wants to stay. We just have to come through with the goods now.


If I was a Melbourne player out of contract and an elite player such as Scully turned down such a lucrative deal, the last thing I'd want to look like is a desperate sloppy seconds recruit. Scully signing will definitely be a positive for us not just him remaining as a demon, but for others to follow suit. Domino effect.

good new, i'll buy a new gurnsey with #31 on the back when he resigns :)

I don't think that appearance would concern them if they were focused on money (one of the few reasons for going) and were going to be paid above scale.

 

Mark Steven's also twitted that Melbourne will hold press conference before our next practice match.

Press Conference + Contract Talks = we should know something very soon. I would say he is staying.

and then he'll get 45 possessions down at Visy on Saturday

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
