The Tom Scully Saga

[Longsufferingnomore 1,631]

16 year old border collie 2 weeks ago.

agree

Border Collie 9 years ago. Still cant talk abaout it.

[Deetective Sgt. Taggert 389]

Very true, and I wonder what Bucks would rather have now........some extra coin, or a premiership medallion.

See what Garry Lyon had to say on a similar topic in his recent speech...

[Real Demon 232]

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

[deeflog 679]

Yep.

Was he eating chips with sauce ?

no, he had a plastic cup of warm midstrength beer

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.

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

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.

[Northern Summer 292]

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.

[Guest Artie Bucco]

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...

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

Its ok Damo was talking about Lake not being at the bulldogs next year.

[Matt Demon 1,431]

Our club has a policy of not publicly speaking about contracts, Who knows whats going on behind the scenes.

what people don't understand is that whoever goes to gws has already agreed/signed. we won't know until tom commits to the mfc.

[Guest Artie Bucco]

That's rubbish.

[Demonic Ascent 0]

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.

[Robbie57 2,020]

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.

I'm sure blokes like Scully would find these types of articles interesting - Giant call by draft teen Stephen Coniglio
