Scully's management to talk to Melbourne this week


SoNotFunny

Recommended Posts

Melbourne is going to be a champion team again soon, with out without Scully. Let's just keep positive and wait for the end of the year when the kid might have a better idea of what he wants to do. For now, he is a Demon, and he needs (and deserves) the club, including the supporters, to fully support him.

ABSOLUTELY on the money there Samsara-We can only live in the moment, and right Tom Scully is a DEMON.

The top 5 things that Tom Scully will announce at the MFC press conference:

1. Football is not really what he thought it would be, and he is considering a future as a truck driver instead.

2. He is engaged. (Possibly Lara Bingle, or the Stkilda school girl)

3. He is gay.

4. He lied about his age and is still actually only 12 years old.

5. Feel free to add as I cant think of another....

He can't find his left sock (he seems the sort of guy that might have them sorted that way). It's white with a black stripe.

1. He has signed a generous 4-year deal, feels very fortunate to be at such a wonderful and proud club, and is looking forward to tearing it apart this season with his mates in the red and blue.

Hey - no truth-telling.

comment from the HS

Velocity Sports has previously stated that Scully's contract negotiations with the Demons would be deferred to seasons end so that Scully could "direct all his energies to the 2011 season". Velocity Sports also indicated that finalisation of the AFL's new TV rights was a consideration. Surely if those issues are relevant to Scully's future, they are also relevant to Gysberts'future and the futures of other AFL players in their stable. There is a strange odour in the fact that Velocity Sports are having ongoing negotiations about Gysberts'contract but are deferring discussions with Melbourne over Scully's future. Either Gysberts' welfare (and that of other AFL players in the VS stable) aren't as important as Scully's, or Velocity Sports are telling a few porkies about where things are at between Scully and GWS.

They might be looking for a new keeper after the ordinary display in the cup final this week. :)

You are not wrong, that was apalling. But i don't think Arsenne was really giving it 100%

Good Luck to Birmingham, The Pubs would have Rocked out all week!!

I guess there is merit here, and it is this sort of thinking that still makes one think he might leave. At the end of the day, Scully has much more bargaining power than Gysberts, and this management group might see signing Gysberts ASAP as a big positive whilst waiting is the best option for Scully, considering his position.

I'd be a little careful about who you call a fool.

Is there a triple facepalm photo..?

In fact, the only practical way for GWS to steal Viney from them, was to finish last in 2012 and take him as top draft pick.

Maybe read an article before linking to it..?

Damn I like that post. I really, really do.

Mate.... bottom line is money talks and that's all there is to it. He'll get to play his beloved football nonetheless and perhaps make history in helping GWS achieve their first EVER premiership!

HOWEVER...

- ALL his family are in Melbourne.

- He'll never get the same crowds (the Dees' numbers are building!).

- Victoria is the home of AFL!

- The best stadium in the world will no longer be his HOME GROUND.

It's either "GWS $$" or "the value of what the MFC could soon become".

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe
