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.

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.

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.

But I having a boring mind...

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

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.

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!

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.

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

    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

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.
