Urged on by Jason Dunstall, Alistair Lynch (Tom Scully manager) said Scully is doing absolutely fantastically (implying he has veryhigh value), and said "I'm sure he will sign a contract at the end of the year" to which Jason Dunstall said "which means he is going to GWS". Lynch just smiled.

Draw your own conclusions....

Which to me said "he ain't going anywhere"

Still a MFC player if and when I hear any different I'll worry then.

Can't spend your life as a supporter jumping at shadows perpetuated

By an opposition president.

When Scully gets back on the track I will be most interested to see whether he has modified his 'floating chip' kicking action which our forwards will never get on the end of. If he was at a club like collingwood they would hammer that out of him over a couple of summers.

Lynch is his manager so his number 1 responsibility is NOT to give away if Scully has or hasn't signed with GWS.

Let's assume Lynch knows Scully WILL DEFINITELY sign with GWS, and he was confronted with the statment 'which means he is going to GWS'. If it was me, I would 100% go on the front foot and be defensive and answer the question by saying 'nothing will be known till end of the year'. The fact he didn't have a defensive answer to that statement means he doesn't feel the need to.

To me it says absolutely nothing.

There is no indication either way.

What a waste of the Internet...

Agreed. I opened this thinking it was going to be something substantial.

Maybe we should make a sub forum for all Scully - GWS threads.

Really????

Other than a confirmation he has signed with someone what was your thought before you opened this?

Garbage thread.

It was posted after his manager discussed the situation, fair enough I would've thought otherwise why bother responding????

Garbage response as better to say nothing RR. Geez...

I agree that the Scully situation should be confined to one thread. But others within this thread with their high horse moral ground come straight to the Scully thread, seemingly so that can shout loud it means nothing.

Why?

Do you all think shouting loud enough will change anything?

Are you just wanting to make your case so you can say "I told you so" to people you don't even know?

It's worth a discussion especially after his manager brings it up. Don't bloody open the thread then.

This topic will go on until a contract is signed, get used to it or ignore it.

Until your outrage when he is in the V Line jumper!

Wow. Crappy thread, sure, but the title is really the hum dinger here... It has no correlation whatsoever to the OP...

Is this what demonland's come to?

Aaah. Leave it up here as a cautionary tale.

I watched it and the only inference I gleaned, albeit a small one, was that he'd stay with Melbourne. He spoke of the CBA and that he was sure he'd sign at the end of the year, which is when Dunstall made his quip about GWS and all Lynch could do at Dunstall's throw away line was smile.

You read it one way and me the other.

The title say 'Alistair Lynch on Tom Scully'

I was expecting more than 'Tom will sign a contract at the end of the year'

I expected a decent paragraph of info from Lynch's point of view. Maybe some inside information.

Why could this have not been added onto the end of one of the other Scully threads?

This thread is a complete load of trash. We will know one way or the other whenever he signs and know then with whom. Guys, please let's leave this alone. It is surly getting us all down.

That is how I read it, despite no indication either way.

As an aside, the opening poster suggested "draw your own conclusions" - some of the replies to date have seriously lacked topic related substance - if anything...nothing - and were deleted as such. It is something of interest to Melbourne supporters (despite some posters being fed up with the topic) regarding a Foxtel programme AFL insiders , and comments from an associate of Velocity Sports (Alastair Lynch) - Tom Scully's management company, those who don't like it shouldn't have to comment.

I agree with this - even your use of the word "whom" was correct in this instance.

Thats what I thought too, and god I hope you're right.

How many possies has he racked up this year? How many best on grounds?

Last time I checked he was 3-4 weeks off.

If anything, his value is idle until he can get back on the field to play good footy.

    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

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
