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?

One crises at a time, please.

They could back off and go for Trenners next year.

Will someone just change the name on the thread - save us some time...

I have no doubt GWS will look closely at Trengove next year-But hopefully by then the MFC is sniffing Finals with larger MCG crowds in attendance.

If Scully signs it will help to unite the whole Football Department-That said the Team must play well and improve this year.

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

Good on ya mate !

Good call. But before that it will be the "Oh Noes" Sylvia campaign. I'm sure of it.

Im confident he will sign now.

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

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

Don't get too excited it is not over the line yet!

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".

If I and other posters with similar views to mine contributed a measly 0.1% of the effort required in helping get this matter to a head then it's infinitely far more than fans like you that would have been content keeping their heads in the sand for another six months to wait for any answer.

Why not get excited? He obviously wants to be a Demon but he wanted to just play footy before dealing with the tedium of contract negotiations. If it wasn't for fat Ed it's exactly what would have happened but now he wants it put to bed ASAP so he can get back to doing what he loves. If we make him happy with the offer he will sign and I have faith that we can do that.

Well let's just end it now HT - Col tweeted that he bought a house in Melbourne on the weekend :lol:

Good for him ! HM - as if something like that will prevent or quell the hysteria as the season progresses around here.

Are you going to claim credit if Scully re-signs?

To say this whole ordeal must be nipped in the bud sooner rather than later, is an understatement.

Not fair on Tom, the club and the supporters.

Posted

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.

Where is the Tweet. I can't find it

0.01 % worth.

Personally I felt your frightened rants and criticism of other posters who failed to see the "facts" according to your deluded and twisted form of logic were far more destructive than productive.

But that's just me.

Absolutely. Tom's all about being the best he can be, and I'd think playing AFL in 2011 with a team his future lies with, minus the negative speculation, would be the best recipe for that.

Yes, I understand that Temporal Lobe "events" can do this. You can get help.

The credit will belong with the people who administer the club, the football department, his teammates and Tom himself.

Hopefully, it will happen this week and we can all move on to the next set of rumours.

Yes as I would expect, a personal insult in lieu of any real content. I know that you won't engage me in a real adult argument, have seen it before.

I am thankful that you are as you say that you are in the 0.01%, I am sure that the club would feel much the same. I am grateful that the majority of supporters of our great club are able to wait the reporting of the "facts" and not submit to fear as you have done.

I think it was this quote of ADC's that convinced Tom to start talks.

If we are going to be held to ransom by this parasitic management group and their inarticulate juvenile lead then we deserve another 50 plus years in the wilderness.

Supporter, huh?

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
