No, please enlighten me.

I think he said something like these boys will play the next 12-13 year together at the same club...oh noes, trenners is going north too!


Thinly veiled dig eh! I like it, he sure proved last night why he would be sorely missed.

Did anyone see Bailey grab Tom's face post game and give him a big happy scary stare and hug?

I said to dad that he is probably saying "good game but if you leave I'll hunt you down and break your other kneecap"

God I'll be heartbroken if he leave.

 

Is there any danger in the world that one day will pass without a new fawning, sycophantic thread pleading for Tom Scully to remain at the club?

Enough already!

God I'll be heartbroken if he leave.

I would be disappointed if he leaves but Trengove, Gysberts and McKenzie showed tonight that him leaving is not the be all and end all. In fact I would be more upset if it was Gysberts that was being mentioned with GWS.


Gysberts just signed a new two year contract so he is out of reach :)

Scully is amazing, and our young players (Watts, Trengove, Scully, Gysberts, McKenzie etc) are certainly the goods to take the club to a premiership.

He looked like he wanted to suck out Tom Scully's soul and keep it in a jar for ransom.

I thought it was more "great stuff, you're only going to get better from here."

But I having a boring mind...

Scully is no doubt the next Judd of the AFL. If he can learn from Judds mistakes (playing hurt and aggravating injury) then he might very well even be better than Judd. Chris Judd and Ablett are still two of the most premier players of the AFL, but you would struggle to argue that Scully will not be mentioned in the same breath in 24 months time.

Trenners and Gyz also showed their class. If they can stay together at the oen club, they might go down in history as the best draft combination ever. The 09 draft landed us Sculls, Trenners, Gyz, Tappy, Gawn. Could be talked about for a very long time.

Youre the kind of person who does their tax on time aren't you!

If you don't do it on time, it's time to not do it.

Get an accountant.

I did notice that. I thought it was very interesting and a good dig at the self-congratulatory rumour-mongers in the media.

I will also note though that Scully was deadpan singing the song while the rest of the team were going nuts. Is it a sign? Perhaps. Maybe it's just that he's not an overly demonstrative guy.

Some of his movement through and out of traffic really is Judd-like. He puts in these little side-steps that take him out of reach of a tackle even as he's accelerating out of traffic. I thought last night it really did look like some of the moves Judd uses.

I'm generally pretty optimistic about retaining him, and as always I think he has every right to wait on his contract, but god it would be good if he announced tomorrow that he'd signed for 3 years, and Trengove with him.

Just don't.

Ok?

Scully is staying , post match interview he looked and sounded happy and can see where were going IMO .

agree - sorry was a bit drunk and emotional last night after reading that article! Last night showed what great things could happen if we can keep that team together - here's hoping we can keep em all ie Scully, Watts, Trenners, Mckenzie, Gysberts, Jurrah, Frawley and Morton.

havnt seen this? where is it?

Just like Judd, when Scully wins a flag he'll give a single fist pump and then go off the ground to work on his kicking.

He doesn't strike me as someone who enjoys anything too much. Steely resolve to get better.

 

Keeping scully is the most important thing the club has faced since the merger. He must stay. Last night proved the club will be built around him for a decade. He is irreplaceable

The kid is a professional, and a born 'do as I do' leader.

I cannot stress this enough - Tom will be a great.

And he will be a Melbourne great.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

  • CASEY: Box Hill

    The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

  • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

    The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
