And now Marc Murphy has re-signed with the Blues for 3 years........over to you now Tom!

Good to hear for Blues supporters. Another player chooses not to leave to shitty GWS. Surely there must be very little motivation to go for Tom...

Except for the trifling matter of that massive sack of cash they're waving at him.

True. And the more other stars sign, they more they can throw at young Tom.

Along with the Murphy signing, this is an interesting development in the GWS saga ...

Apparently this Coniglio kid from WA is a monty top 5 draft pick if he nominates this year, but he and his family don't want a bar of GWS.

They are seriously going to struggle to be competitive if they don't get some decent players up there.

Wow, can't really blame him though. Looks like there's a fair chance the joint is gonna be a basket case. Hope Tom takes it that this is no place for him if even an untried up and coming kid is willing to defer his draft nomination.

This type of scenario will help the MFC cause..when young guns publicly say they do not want to go to GWS...i like it.

Scully is as good as gone!!! If he hasn't signed by now, or indicated that he is going to, it's all done. Everyone else is re-signing with their clubs (i.e. Murphy, Bartel, Pendlebury). . Sad but reality I guess. .

He will miss some epic Queens Birthday confrontations!!!

Here is a song Tom & his management are listening to a lot this year....Sitting on the Fence...The Rolling Stones

Pendlebury signed a 1 year contract.

Hardly a great sign of commitment.

He said he hasn't signed, and I will back the club to convince him that the MFC is where you want to be.

Anyone find a quote or some sort of evidence in that article that Coniglio has even thought of a boycott?

I've looked and can't see any for the life of me.

Might as well just read another Scully to GWS article...

Anyone else feeling nervous that on the Footy Show tonight they are naming a player who probably wont be at there club next season.

Didn't even make the "news" section of the "footy" show. This whole HOA story has no legs.

Except Scully has publicly stated not he, his manager or his family have spoken with GWS let alone signed anything. That's good enough for me at this stage.

I don't think Tom is a liar.

Seems to me to be a very honest player and person.

Can we talk about his on field performances for a moment instead.

I am curious if others think that he and trenners are complimentary in their styles.

Trenners a hard ball winner with scully having the ability to make space and run (and run and run) a la Judd.

Thoughts?

They definitely compliment each other. You can throw Gysberts into this also.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
