My god.

Last time I looked at a Scully thread before this afternoon, the closed thread was only at 28 pages in length.

I've now (god knows why) read all of it.

It began hilarious, but by the end I was left depressed... by the stupidity of some of our supporters.

I think I've now reached the point where I don't even care!

I just want the season to end so we can conclusively find out the result.

Since when have Richmond been in the running to get Scully?

Can someone please inform me why they would stand a chance? We could offer him more salary wise?

I know he was a supporter, but that means jack! Pendles, Judd and Buddy were avid Melbourne supporters, but I see them at other clubs?

Can someone inform me why we have turned away from GWS to Punt Road?

Received my $200 raffle ticket in the mail today. LJ and Skull are on it, surely the Dees wouldn't market this Player if they knew he was leaving. I'm a firm believer he will stay and am very disappointed with the amount of negativity directed towards him. He will be a part of our great team for years to come!

essendon signed 6 today, including their best young kid heppell.. its not that hard tom, either you want to be here or you dont.. simple

The one Essendon player constantly linked with GWS is Michael Hurley who comes out of contract end of next year. Trust me thats the signature that Essendon really want.

There are 16 other teams that would move the earth to get his signature. Imagine Watts and Hurley in the same forward line, with Howe and Jurrah bobbing up around them... Be better then the buddyroughcyril

By your logic it is obvious the Gary Ablett Jnr rates GC17 as a better prospect than Geelong. Can you see any flaws in your logic ?

Nutbean,

Well, no. Ablett did indeed go to GC17. As a 10 year player, with a Brownlow, two premierships, a fight with his previous coach, a sense of job-well-done at Geelong, and a golden chance at a superannuated juicy payday, he obviously did rate GC17 as a better prospect than Geelong.

On the other hand, Kreuzer & Scully, two gun players of similar pedigree and experience, have their whole careers in front of them. Kreuzer rates the West Sydney Ramraiders a worse prospect than Carlton. Will Scully rate Melbourne a worst prospect than the West Sydney Ramraiders (or one of the big Melbourne clubs)?

Stepping away from the contract situation for a minute...

How bad is his haircut? Would have to be the worst in the league at present.

Have you seen Dustin Martin's haircut??

if/when he does eventually sign, whenever that glorious moment will be, who wants to join me for a quiet celebratory drink or '31' at crown?

i will be ecstatic if he signs, stick it up all the journalists who think he will leave

just a note also on the guys who were concerned with his expression during the singing of the song, tom isn't the kind of bloke who expresses himself that much after a win, he is so focused on footy he'd rather be doing his warm downs. He's a kid who hasn't touched a drop of alcohol or tobacco once in his life in order to pursue his goal, he loves the sport and I honestly can't see him betraying a club like Melbourne, he's not the kind of kid

Again, Melbourne Bigger Clubs?

Why? Why has this new speculation started?

Because we feel inadequate when compared to others.

Really wish we could just arrogantly sit back and say we will keep him.

Other clubs' supporters would.

We are going to be fracking relevant very soon, if Tom decides to stick around we will be absolutely fracking relevant.

The "whisper" is that Scully not happy with direction of club.I am wondering exactly what about the 'direction' is being referred to. Is it about the coach, is it a rumour is it baseless. At the end of the day, supporting the Dees is a victory of faith. When I see what belief Jimmy Stynes has instilled into the club combined with our great playing list I have great confidence in our direction. We have other clubs seeking to mimic our debt demolition strategy: Footscray, Port Adelaide, Richmond, but can they emulate what we achieved? When Grimes, Tapscott, Jamar, Bail and Davey are fit, whose place do they take? That is the true picture of where we are at.

    DERAILMENT by KC from Casey

    It wasn’t quite a trainwreck although at times, it sure looked like one, so I’ll settle for “derailment”.  The trip to Brighton Homes Arena in Springfield outside the back of Brisbane might not exactly be the same place where Homer Simpson’s family resides but, if you listened closely to the utterances of the Casey Demons fans both at the ground or watching via livestream, you could hear lots of groaning and plenty of expressions of “D'oh!” reverberating in the background, particular

    TEN YEARS AFTER by Whispering Jack

    Things have changed in the more than ten years since the West Coast Eagles decimated Melbourne by 93 points on the MCG early in the 2014 season. The two sides had not met at the home of football in the interim until yesterday when Melbourne won by a comfortable 54 points to remain in contention for this year’s finals series. Back in those days, the Demons were in the midst of their Great Depression but they have since tasted premiership glory and experienced a long enough period among

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
