Nice try, that's way too easy to spoof...but I'll take your word for it anyway.

My favourite was songwriting stewie... I have never watched FG but it was a classic take on the diatonic chord progression...

True. It's not rpfc. Carry on.

Oh cool, another 10 page Tom Scully thread.

Didn't he say that he wanted to hold off talks until the end of the season, and increase his value with good second year form?

That suggests he's trying to get more money out of Melbourne. I can't imagine GWS paying more than $800k a year for him, and he would be likely to get (at the moment) about $300k at Melbourne? Can easily push that up to $400k a year at Melbourne by playing great footy this year. Doubt GWS would do an increase like that. An offer of $800k early this year would turn into $850k, maybe. That's just my opinion, though.

Hmmm. Two computers ... Two IP addresses?

Not necessarily, but it is one possibility of many.

My comments are pure poppycock?

I'm still waiting for you to make a contribution of value.

It's always just sarcastic or demeaning jibes, but never offering much of an opinion.

What's it like there on the sidelines? Afraid to get into the game?

Anyway, still can't remember who it was, but they've been people involved in AFL coaching, whose opinion I respect a hell of a lot more than yours.

It's something I've taken notice of, and in quite a lot of cases it has proven to be true.

Maybe you're taking it a bit literally...

you break me up Artie (or is it E25?) :blink:

I've got work, home, and iphone and I am sure that the mods are comfortable with saying that they have never seen those three IPs under another name.

Just don't need to.

rpfc is doing the job of multiple posters anyway...

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!

Here here - together with the breathless announcements regarding Todd Viney's progress towards manhood

I took your word for it the first time... just stating fact.

Conversely, sometimes I suspect the volume of posting by some could only be explained by a team of posters.

No and No. I can categorically state that it is not rpfc. The poster has been warned accordingly within the guidelines of Demonland.

Now please, let's move back to the topic.

Surely Todd's reached puberty by now :-)

Tom Scully - Good player or Great player?

Discuss.

Do we have to?

Ok then... During the north melbourne game I was sitting in the players area - or rather where many of injured etc players and wags were sitting. Tom was sitting away from the group with an older gentleman (I suspect his father?) and was certainly "isolated" from the group.

Not sure at this stage. Do you think he will stay or do you think he will go?

Why and why not?

Love to hear all views and theories below ...

Good player currently on the verge of an exciting time with a plethora of similar aged players and a club of second-to-none supporters who love their club with so much passion for what their club is embarking on....the pursuit of a flag and greatness for the red & blue. One who may well one day be a 'great player' in a great football team. A team that will ply it's trade so well on the greatest football ground in Australia.

One that will follow in the footsteps of the good work undertaken 'til now.

Yep. ;)

Was he eating chips with sauce ?

Good thread that one - kudos

Certainly not, however the gentleman accompanying was drinking BEER!!!

WTF does it mean?

Surely this is against official TS policy??

I'm finding it terribly covenient that this issue has sparked up again this week, when we just happen to be playing Eddiewood.

C'mon boy let's not get distracted! GO DEES!

Good player now, great player later.

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

or 3 maybe 4 if he is there

The media just edge their bets with this type of rubbish.

1st they will say he is going to create hype

2nd they will say he has signed a HOA

then if he goes they will say i told you so and if you stays they will say well he signed a HOA and changed his mind.

Its ridiculous.

If Tom has signed a HOA all means is that his management have locked in the terms with them - it does not at mean that he wanted to go in the first as they will clearly wait for other offers to be tabled with the intention of all along staying at the demons.

Personally i do think he would of signed anything and we should trust the kids word.

How is Chewy, Wheels ?

You may remember my dog with the ultra long tongue - Hannabal ? She died last year. Anyone ever had a 15 year old family dog put to sleep at your home while she lay on your lap ?

I've not been the same.

16 year old border collie 2 weeks ago.

agree

In the space of 3 months last year I had my best mate randomly fall and fatally crack his skull, my 14yr old cat go down in 1 day, and my father suffer complications from heart valve surgery to the point where he was almost lost three times. I've alot more grey now, and feel your pain.

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
