Scully says that he'll be back round 6. I don't think so

Oh great, we're blessed with your presence again...

Good news for those who love bad news...

 

It's my experience that when footy players are injured they are generally unhappy - especially when he is 19 and gets idiot supporters constantly questioning everything about him, and everything he does, as if it were some sign of his intentions.

Yep good.

Op, you think it may just be that he's injured and he wants to be playing?

*face palm*

Look at what our poor Tom has to put up with...

Can the kid do ANYTHING right these days, without people questioning his every move and action?? FFS.

 

The article I read today said Tom very close to returning, will probably start running this week and miss the next 2 games, then we have a bye, then round 6 he'd be a likely starter if all goes well. Thats good enough for me, until I hear different from the club.

How are you sure it wasn't a mister that was engulfing his thoughts?! :o

:blink: :blink: :blink: :blink: :blink:

Oh, are U saying he wants to move to oxford st.

Did you remember to check his fingers to see if there was any ink on them? Non MFC approved ink maybe?

If I was him I'd seriously consider leaving just so I didn't have to deal with some of the idiots that support this club.

He was probably depressed cos he watched GC suns get belted the night before and realised all the money he was looking at might not be that good after all :P

(then he saw us play and the smile is probably back)

Agree 100%

The kid has a serious injury.

From what I am told his injury is general not an easy one to fix.

Now before you jump done my neck I have no inside information on Tom's knee.

But I have a couple of friends who work in the Medical / Physio industry.

They all tell me the same thing " Tom could be out for a considerable period"

One of them suggests "forget him till July " He has had this problem before

and then he has to get back his fitness.

That could mean not much from Tom in 2011.

If this is half true any wonder Toms is less than bubbling over.

Lets just get off his back.

When he is fit again he will play.

There are other more pressing problems for the club at present.

Like how come the President sounds more like the coach than the coach does!


i didn't start the post cause he aint smilin. I started it because he answered the question without conviction and heart. That told me that even he doesn't know what to do.

I'll sit you down in public and get 500 people to ask you the same question and see how long you smile for....idiot

God I hope Sculls doesn't read this bloody site, cause the things some people write on here make my skin crawl, can't imagine how he would stay if he read this s*@t.

And yet again we see the descension into petty namecalling.

Isn't the internet awesome for abusing strangers? Especially ones that folow your own club and whose heart is in the right place. Love it.

Agree I cannot believe the things people are writing on this site at the moment. It is scary to think how people draw conclusions out of thin air...

Between people like wacko maco and good ole America de Cali...wow....

Yesterday while collecting my scarf and horns Tom Scully was at the membership stall. I asked him how long it would be before he's back and he said round 6 after the bye. Yes at first i was wrapped but he didn't say it with conviction and certainty. it seemed an average answer. I have a quiet suspicion that the club might not be letting the kid play because he hasn't signed on yet. He seemed unhappy and wasn't smiling.

It will good to have him in the team against West Coast, but I just want the club to make sure he has recovered completely. It appears he came back to early to play against Brisbane pre-season.

If you have a quiet suspicion, keep it that way (keep it quiet).

I would argue that people who question the integrity of individuals at our club such as Scully based on their perception of tone don't have their heart in the right place....

Can just see the headline. SCULLY HOUNDED OUT OF MELBOURNE BY IRATE FANS. MONEY HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT.

:huh:

Complete tripe.

I remember speaking to Col Garland after he was forced to wear the moon boot for the second time, he didn't raise a smile either.

Of course Tom is unhappy, he can't perform that which he has trained his heart out for years to do.

For his beloved Richmond?

There are Idiots everwhere one goes, no matter what colour suit they wear. :)


You all act like these players are your best mates and you have to defend them at all costs. They arent and they dont read these boards trust me. They dont really care what supporters feel or say.

Not anyones mates...just simply taking what they have said on face value until proven otherwise....anything else read into is a total waste of energy and time. When he stays I wonder what people like America de Cali will do with their time then...

No, the internet is obviously awesome for badgering and blabbing about badgering 19 year olds about their future.

I guess it does pay to smile more.

Tom should probably work on his fake smile - try and keep the rumourmongers at bay.

Or he's just suffering through an injury, is fustrated and annoyed he is not currently playing.

And we're done here.

  • Thank You Simon Goodwin

    As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

  • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

  • REPORT: West Coast

    The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
