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.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
