Scully Contract

[jnrmac 20,185]

GWS would be a good move for him. I know he comes back to Wangaratta often. It would probably be easier for him to commute from Sydney.

Ha it's only about 10 mins to Wang from Western Sydney. tee hee....

I had a choice last year between a graduate job in Canberra and a graduate job in Melbourne. The Canberra job paid more and was more relevant to my field of study and career interests, but that wasn't enough to lure me away from my girlfriend and life here in Melbourne. Besides, now that I'm finally not a student I can actually afford to go to footy games more often and my office here has a great view of the 'G!

I took a grad role in canberra 2 years ago away from friends family and the G/F at the time... in terms of career progression in my chosen field it was a great move but cant wait to get back to Melb. The difference between a graduate position and an AFL contract though is you are not locked into a contractual term and that it's easier to drink away the pain.

If the pies can resign all it's stars and melb can't sign tom scully this could unsettle the club. Bad for sponsorship and attracting future players.

Melb admin will reaslise this. So i'm not worried about scully leaving but rather other players leaving because we spent a lot to keep scully.

i really don't think the admin will go to the extremes to sign Scully if it will jeopdise resigning the other young "stars". I believe they are now smarter than that

I once had to choose between chicken and lamb souvlaki and I later regretted my choice

don't do it scull

classic, cant go wrong with either chicken or lamb, provided it is 4am and you have a 12 pints on board

[Rogue 585]

Haha.

Hey! That took me to a porn site!

Not that I'm complaining.

No, that was Sandra Sully's site. www.sullytospray.com.au

Too far?

How much more was the job in Canberra?

10% 20% what if it was 100% would you now be in Canberra?

it has been reported that jim stynes has already leant hard on scully in a 1:1 to re-sign. it will be a marketing disaster for melb if scully leaves. It's all about the future and demon kids.

next year trengove will be out of contract. that will mean another million posts...so we may as well do "find and replace on scully's name and insert trengove"

So I think your wrong...Melb admin will move heaven and earth to keep scully...I'm sure melb will trade older players etc...to get the job done.

So do you still think Melb Admin will let him go?

Lamb souvlaki - winner any day of the week!

Sculls if you are reading this stop........ Apparantly its pretty easy to get a souvlaki/kebab/yiros (whatever you want to call it!) in GWS!!

Can we start a petition now "SAY NO TO SOUVLAKI'S" B)

Melbourne will not get in to a bidding war with GWS over this, as they simply couldn't match any offer the they made.

I'm also quite sure that the way our contracts have been written in recent times would allow for a variety of payment terms to ensure we can offer a player, like Scully, a handsome deal, without compromising on other players.

FWIW - I think Scully will stay, especially as he watches the GC struggle this year, knowing that he would be a lot closer to playing finals footy for us, as opposed to GWS. It would take an unrealistic offer from GWS to convince him to go (ie. In the Ablett/GC category), but I think Sheedy is smarter than that and wont throw top dollars at a 3rd year player. If they (GWS) have learnt anything from the GC game so far, it would be to spread the money out and get a dozen reasonable players rather than forking out for 1 drawcard and a handful of average-at-best players.

im not saying they are just going to let him go, but if he has decided to take the money i don't think admin are going to go all the way to matching, with future contract discussions in the back of their mind. He is a must to keep but only to a certain point

point taken...

Given the poor performance of Gold Coast Suns- I think the rationale from the Scully Camp. Will be, if melb comes close to GWS...then scully will stay....

I think the guy GWS should be after is josh kennedy...24ish next year....has done 2 years at the hawks..started a three year deal with the swans last year...comes out of contract end of next year.

Why would TS say he is going to sign in a month?

If he has made his decision, then surely he would sign right away. Just does not make sense.

www.scullytostay.com.au,

Hey! That took me to a porn site!

Not that I'm complaining.

This link doesnt work. Can you forward me the proper one.

[Rhino Richards 1,467]

The issue is that GWS can approach and contract Tom Scully without involving MFC. This is what they might have done already. If it is a case of battling $ vs $ then there is no realistic way we could compete.

I actually thought Stynes comments about the GWS draft rules forcing players to lie had crpytic undertones.

[Rhino Richards 1,467]

Has Scully actually committed to that statement. I thought that was another media inspired rumour. Do you have a source for the information?

No. I was only questioning the original post.

I am sure that Pickers on Foxsports had no bad intentions in revealing the information. But the statement in itself does not add up to me. Therfore I am leaning on thinking it being BS.

[No16 1]

Maybe something to do with the TV rights/player payment options that most players/managers have been waiting to see the result of...

May be close to closing deals which will give a clear indication of what capacities are available....

[ex52k2 238]

For what its worth, I dont think GWS is even interested in Scully. They wont say so as its all a smokescreen to confuse other teams.

The reason I dont think their after Scully as he is the wrong TYPE of player. GWS is only the suns on a 12 month time delay, the rules,draft concessions and salary cap are all roughly the same. After a year in the VFL what TYPE did they draft, mature bodies to give the bucket load of Scully body types time to mature.

If I was the MFC I would be trying all out to sign Sylvia, the body and playing type the suns went after.

NOTE: I AM NOT SAYING SCULLY ISNT ANY GOOD, what I am saying is I THINK he dosnt fit the body type I believe they will go for.

Surprise Surprise. No Scully hasn't.

Liam Pickering generated the rumour on League teams which was laughed off by panel members. He claimed the source was an unnamed friend's friend. So until we learn of something of more substance..../
