The Tom Scully Saga

Featured Replies

Scully was also on SEN after the game.. They asked the "GWS" question... Scully replied by saying His happy to be injury free and playing footy again, and that he has the trust of his team-mates.. Didn`t give too much away.. gee after today I hope he stays...

If the young kids step up around him, it can only be a positive.

I heard that too. He sounds like a great kid Tom

31 pages to this thread. Tom Scully wears #31. hmmm interesting.

Just curious to know what the record is for posts on a single thread.

Yeah, seems like a good time to close it.

What's really pathetic Tim is that you can't understand where I'm coming from and the fact I believe he's hurting the club. I still go by the theory the club is bigger than the individual but by leaving the club hanging he is placing himself above the club. I don't have the patience to deal with this crap he either wants to play for us or he doesn't if it's about money then let's just wave goodbye now. BTW how do you know he is a man of integrity for all you know he may have signed up with GWS, if that's the case then would you still hold the same view?

The longer this drags on and the longer he refuses to sign with us the more chance he's gone and I reckon that's a Monty now.

This is a footy board Tim if you want to talk about Kipling I suggest you visit the general board on big footy.

This does not unsettle anyone but you. You and others who find this nerve-wracking. The club will be planning for life with him and life without. Players will be getting onwith thier lives. I know I am, too.

Kipling wrote a poem called "IF". The fist lines are "IF you can lose your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you..." and it goes on to talk about how to be a man. Tom's keeping his; you are losing yours and blaming it on him...

I think it is relevant for most of the posters for this thread, Robbie. If you don't have the patience for it, tell a group taht will either (a) give you more patience or (B) actually resolve the issue. The thread will do neither.

I had to recite this poem for Mr. Blaze in Form Three English. Little did I know it would come back to haunt me.

He's gone. Jim Stynes told Steven Phillips at the presidents lunch today that he has signed, spoke to him just before. I was in the rooms after the game, and it seemed Jim told Dean after Dean did his presser once all players had pretty much left. Jim went to every player in the rooms to congratulate them when the boys were doing warm down, except Tom. He was the first player to go home.

Thought i'd let everyone know.

BT during the Fox coverage was angling a line the club wanted Scully to make a statement to the press this week but he refused.

Worrying times.

WOW that seems pretty definate. :(

If this is the case, then he has tobe demoted to Casey next week! with a big "[censored]-OFF!!" attached.

If this is true, you'd think he won't play for MFC or Casey again.

Well this post is going to double the size of this thread by about tomorrow night.

Agree, It's going tobe pretty pointless trying to keep up with it.

So its finally confirmed , from none other than the mouth of Jim Stynes.

Drop him and make a stand, show we are united and no room for traitors on our way to a flag.

Dont care how good he is.

When you say he "told him" as the Presidents lunch does that mean he announced it in an interview in front of everybody, because if that was the case the entire world would have known about it before the first bounce.

If you didn't hear it from Jim Stynes, then it's not from Jim Stynes. It's just yet another rumour on the internet.


I'll still wait until the club comes out and confirms that.

No offence red and blue flame, but I'll wait for confirmation.

IF it is true, which I doubt after hearing from Cam Schwab today, then he should NOT play for the MFC, Casey or Casey reserves again. As he would still be under contract at Melbourne until the end of the year, the club should ban him from playing anywhere at any level to prevent him from keeping up match fitness and practice etc.

Also if this was the case why would they put him on SEN afterwards? In the vain hope that he'd suddenly have a change of heart and announce he's going to tear up his GWS contract?

I have no doubt he's going but I'm not buying it just on this evidence.

How do you know for sure red and blue flame?

did you speak to phillips, or know someone who did?

When you say "Jim Stynes told Steven Phillips" do you mean you overheard a conversation, or was it a public address at the President's lunch?

 

Why does Scully owe Melbourne anything. If the shoe was on the other foot and Scully wasn't a good player, Melbourne would delist him and never see him again. Players don't owe their clubs anything.

When players aren't up to it Melbourne delist them, but if the players dont think the club is good for them and choose to move on then somehow its considered disloyal?

Because when a Club gives a player his chance to play AFL Footy, and to wear the Club Colours, it's a Big deal.

That requires more than 2 years loyalty and taking the money, then running.

Easy to tell if this rumour were true - if Tom plays next week, it isn't true.

Jumping at shadows once again.

  • 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.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
