The mods can tell you it isn't me (IP address).

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:

let's check his IP address to be sure ;)

Not necessarily, but it is one possibility of many.

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?

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

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.

Tom Scully - Good player or Great player?

Discuss.

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 ...


Tom Scully - Good player or Great player?

Discuss.

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.

Do we have to?

Yep. ;)

Was he eating chips with sauce ?

Good thread that one - kudos

Yep. ;)

Was he eating chips with sauce ?

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.

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

I've not been the same.

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: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
