Media speculation about a possible meeting and many here take it as signed?

This holds as much weight as any of the other speculation over the past few weeks.

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

    Supporter, huh?

    Very passionate.

    This is the first time I've actually posted on the whole Scully saga as I've tried to avoid (as well as I could) fear mongering on the fact that Scully could be headed North. Though I've found this to an alarming and disconcerting situation to be in, my gut feel has always been that he'll stay in Melbourne.

    Though this feeling wasn't based on any cold hard facts I came to this belief going on reports about how he conducts himself and how family has been a large part of his life.

    The fact that he's brought talks forward is encouraging to say the least, and despite the fact we are not over the line yet, it is a clear sign that TS does in fact value the MFC and wants to remain part of our great club.

    Absolutely agree. It is likely that we won't know anything concrete for some time.

    Where is the Tweet. I can't find it

    Tweeted by @StevoHeraldSun on 24 Feb:

    Scully should play next week. If he does, is likely to break silence in lead up to game with "all-in" press conference. Good call by Dees.

    I am grateful that the majority of supporters of our great club are able to wait the reporting of the "facts"

    Then why would anyone be bothered posting.

  • Quote

    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.

    That would be lovely.

    Three interviews with Jack Trengove this year and all revolve around one topic for the majority.

    Next.

    Because we're Melbourne supporters. It's our lot to be disappointed.

    Epic fail :(

    Must stop getting hopes up. Damn it!

    So - what to make of this:

    "But the Giants scouts are believed to be resigned to missing out on winning Scully’s signature to join the new team next season, which will be coached by AFL legend Kevin Sheedy."

    Don't lose hope people - his manager has to play down speculation for the sake of negotiations etc.

    Haha I was wondering how credible that website was, had never heard of it. Worse than herald sun

    Great news - I think he will re-sign. But if he were to go to GWS, I for one would not be too concerned - a player chasing the big bucks now will do it later in their career anyway!!!

    Without trying to upset the positive vibe around the news today

    I was at golf day with Mike Sheehan last week and he says categorically that Scully has agreed to terms with GWS via his manager. A point to note that Graeme Allan of GWS is a very close friend of Mike's.

    Although he has not officially signed with GWS an agreement via his management company Velocity and GWS has been done. Now before you all shoot me down please note that I am passing on what I heard with the other 100 people on that day

    I obviously don't want to see him go but the details of this seem like its done

    Im sick of the line, that he wont talk contracts till end of year, so its not a distraction.

    HELLO these rumors are the biggest distraction in AFL.

    How about sign and put it to rest.

    So, did he stand up and make some sort of an announcement, or was it just a very crowded tee?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
