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: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
