TBH I'd be looking at the more of a blight on Scully than I would the rest of the group

This is a group of young Aussie blokes overseas, they work their butts off all year and fair enough let their hair down on the OS trip

I tell you what, if I was enjoying myself in that scenario and some first year pissant was looking down his nose at me I'd just think he was a [censored] rather than feel the rest of us should be taking it easy. He made his own decision not to drink, good on him, doesn't mean the rest of them have to join him. The kid sounds like he is a blast to be around :rolleyes: oh well I hope he enjoys getting belted by 100 every week next year, he can spend his big pay cheque on orange juice or whatever he drinks when he's going wild

lol

What if he sticks around...lol

Some of you are trying to get yourselves primed for when he goes, but what if he doesn't?

A few are definitely in the 'he wasn't that good anyway' phase...

It's a little pathetic.

I don't know what your are LOLing about, I don't think it's very funny. Kid doesn't have the spine to resist the money.

we've been dudded by the AFL here, at least we got Trengove, unless someone else purchases him too

He is laughing because guys such as yourself, ADC and Freak (good coupling) think he is gone as in gone already. You've resigned yourselves to him being a Giant. I have to say, you've sat on both sides and swayed and swayed depending on the latest news, now you're firmly of the belief he is GWS bound. Good for you.

where are they keeping him? Has anyone laid eyes on him in the crowd or the box or anything this year, he has completely vanished. The reason is because everyone at the club knows he is gone already

hilarrious isn't it! LOL!

He's living in the studio where they filmed the moon landing with LHO's accomplices and the alien from Area 51.

I think we should name this award the "George" in honour of the histrionics of one George Costanza (first thing that popped into my head on reading that C&B post).

I have it on good authority that Scully has been concerned with the drinking culture at Melb, which is one of the reasons he left the China trip early.

I suspect that this culture prevails at many clubs, but I hear enough about Melbourne and players such as Watts, to wonder if anyone senior at Melbourne is getting their message through.

When people write this tripe it makes him sound like a sh^t bloke and he is definitely leaving. Who's the good authority Hannabal as your posts are usually good and I think someone feed you sh^t.

Scully has no issues with the guys drinking. He attended all the post year [censored] ups 'Monday Mad' 'End of Season' stuff and just drove people around. He has always been around mates that drink etc etc and doesn't have an issue with it just doesn't do it himself.

He definitely didn't enjoy the trip to China but it was about the food (he is a very plain eater) and the language, going into a jungle and having no western toilets etc etc (he waited two days to get back to the hotel) he is a kid that obviously isn't as adventurous as some but trying to infer it was the drinking is crap. The reason he left was because of an illness in the family (although he wasn't enjoying it) to think a first year player could tell a club hey 'I don't like the drinking', makes him out as an elitist thumbing his nose at everyone which is certainly not the case.

Did you miss him signing autographs at the membership tent at the Hawthorn game???? (although it may have been the Swans I can't remember)

If Tom Scully is interested in "team culture" then he sure as hell won't be off to GWS at the end of the year. Right at the moment there is no culture in that part of the world at all and, if you go by the other expansion team where Shane Crawford suggests that Gary Ablett and his seven senior teammates lured to the new club on lucrative contracts have been in ''party mode'', things aren't very promising are they?

Having visited Blacktown some years ago, I can only suggest that the most popular pastime among the locals is to sit around getting shickered. Not good  for teatotaller Tom but at least he should have plenty of ammo available with which to shout his mates.

I am of the opinion he won't be going, but sorry, these kinds of posts really irritate me. You visited Blacktown a "few years ago"? yes, it did have a reputation (the Comb and Cutter Hotel was better known as the Curb and Gutter), but times change and so do demographics - it's still rough, but nothing like it used to be. And besides that, the argument is a spurious one at best anyway, as there is little likelihood that anyone relocating to Sydney to play with GWS is going to live out in the far Western suburbs of Sydney.

You're right.

They just can't have the same effect on a group than the senior players can.

But I hope they realise the limitations of the senior 'leaders' and step in now, before it becomes an issue (if it isn't already).

It's no secret that the Sunday Herald Sun is an average rag at best and Crawford is on its payroll to generate controversial commentary. If there's not a hot issue during the week that they can comment on (and flare up), they're looking to fill the media vacuum with innuendo such as what was mentioned in last Sunday's article. I've got faith that our administration knows what it is doing and won't stand for poor off-field performance.

By the way, it seems Crawford is trying to change his media persona. Remember this is a man who played the role of Hank Bulger and only last year was cracking eggs with his forehead on national television. Now he's trying to position himself as a heavy hitting, Robert Walls-like columnist, but in a worst of all, in a tabloid.

    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

    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
