Maher is a fool, I wouldn't listen to him

+1

Who is this "impeccable source"? Gubby Allen? Maher is a joke. Listen to him sometimes on SEN Morning Glory and he's always dribbling [censored] just to be "controversial" and create some interest in the program. If he didn't do that who would bother calling up?

Posted

I wonder if it's the same source who told him that the glasses he was wearing all over TV last week looked good.

Andy Maher on SEN's morning show has just stated that, according to his sources, Tom Scully has signed a heads of agreement with GWS but has now had a change of heart and wants to stay at Melbourne.

Did Maher say "heads of agreement"? If so, it would be easy for Scully to back out since an HOA is non binding.

makes sense he has signed sthing I reckon with GWS

I said last year c brown was gone when he was injured at hawthorn and didnt sign

when scully didnt sign and was injured, alarm bells went off.......some people say he is waiting for the new players agreement but that didnt stop Pendles, Swan and many others signing....

hate to say it but i think he is gonesky....gut feelin

he is not the sort of person to wait for a new players agreement.......

A heads of agreement is a non-binding document outlining the main issues relevant to a tentative (partnership or other) agreement.[1] A heads of agreement document will only be enforceable when it is adopted into a parent contract and subsequently agreed upon. Until that point, a heads of agreement will not be legally binding

Correct, lawyer here. This is why it seems like dribble to me. Why would Scully sign a HOA? If indeed he has and wants out of it that's great news to us which means he wants to play for us. Still, all dribble to me.

It's Andy Maher the blokes useless!

Why don't people understand regardless of staying or going, Scully won't be signing a contract until the end of the year. The guy's played 22 games not 200 with a brownlow and premiership like Ablett. Every game he plays his value increases hes an idiot if he's signed anything at the moment

I don't care if Scully stays or goes as long as the Melbourne Football Club wins one premiership in my lifetime that's all i care about.

Then you should probably care if he stays or goes.

I stand by my post above.

I haven't bothered with any of this but all this speculation ignores the words that fell from Scully's mouth.

He said he has not signed anything.

I take a man at his word.

In this case we have a serious hard working man who likes his privacy so there is even more reason to accept his word whe he fronts the media.

I think those in the media ought to be more careful about what they say here after all by saying he has signed something they are clearly asserting he is lying.

If he got annoyed enough he could sue them, they are relying on the fact he wont.

Frankly all the speculation is being media generated.

I think we all agree Scully hasn't signed any contract yet.

In which case this is awesome news. Because until he's signed on the bottom line, it won't be legally binding. If the word is that now he want to be a demon, he will be!

i feel the same , however i believe this is the guy who can take us there.

I'll take Scullys word once he's signed.

Makes absolutely no sense.

Basically all I get from this new 'rumour' is that the journos are pretty satisfied he hasn't signed so they're looking for a new angle to generate speculation.

Seems sections of the media that said "he's gone" are now trying to dig themselves out of a hole.

To me this is no more or less worrying than all the other Scully speculation.

Especially when he has stated he, nor his family, nor his management have "not signed anything"..

Spot on. It would be silly for him to sign anything now. His currency will climb steadily between now and the end of the season.

The AFL want to takeover NSW and rugby, and Tom Scully is the key pin-up boy for this expansion. To do this they have to double-cross a foundation club which signed on to the AFL's expansion plans based on a level playing field of salary caps and national drafts. The way this pans out will give a pointer to the fate of a number of victorian clubs. 18 clubs is too many clubs chasing too few premierships. the competition is usually over by the half-way mark of the season, then tanking or top four is all that matters. I am praying we can survive our courageous recovery and that our great list can be retained and achieve our dreams.

It would be nice to recieve an update from the club re: Scully.

Why? What would they say? The same thing they have always said - "we respect Tom and his management's decision to put off talks, we will resume them in due course."

The club could only pour fuel by saying something.

And since when does Andy Maher have the standing in our great game to demand a response from us?!

This thread should be tacked on to the back of the 'Scully' thread, I don't want to drown in Scully threads.

2nd that. IMO the worst football commentator to get a gig on radio/tv. How the hec did he get this gig anyway? I always switch off whenever i hear him on. Gaze/Watson aren't much better on that morning show, maybe worse, but at least they've played at the highest level of their sport. I'm not saying you have to have played at that level to commentate, but you have to be able to add some value and have reasonable command of the English language surely eg., Gerard Whateley and Anthony Hudson.

When Tim was on holidays early this year, Maher & Gaze were utterly unlistenable.

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.
