Maybe Tom will sign a 1 year contract and we can have a another whole year stressing!!

Oh God, I don't think it would be tolerable.

Ron what do you expect a foundation member to say????

I spoke to Tom early this week and we had a good chat about his contract, what he thinks of the club, the coach etc etc he confirmed that he hasn't even had an offer from GWS and hasn't spoken to them. He is expecting an offer because of the rumours but know its just football as usual. Which goes against the rumour the information above.

He actually asked me if supporters were upset at him for waiting but thats what some footy people had told him. In his own words '18 months ago I was hoping to play an AFL game now there is a real possibility that I could have to make the biggest decision of my life' (don't try to read something into a ten word sentence out of an hour conversation) If an offer comes at the rumoured values his decision will change the course of his career whichever way it goes.

This story broke on the rumour file on Feb 1 2011, but there were whispers late last year about this offer from GWS.

Wolfmother.....weren't you the person who first raised this issue on Demonland last December, after a conversation with someone in the family?

My only connection to Tom's family and friends came from a brief meeting in late February. At that time they thought he'd stay. In fact the quote was 'what the $#&@ is going on here?' in relation to all the stories in the media. It was the first they'd heard of it.

What are we going to do next year without a Tom Scully thread?

Jack Trengove or Jack Watts thread. I think the later has already had a few big ones.

Although I think they will commit sooner and hopefully it wont happen.

I'm sick of these scumbag player managers in the media *not* talking about their players.

A Lynch and co. are being paid to critically commentate on the football world, and refuse to discuss with any insight all of the players on their roster (making them rich).

More weasel words from Lynch. Pickering is the same.

Mike also asked Lynch if Melbourne had come to him with a contract offer lasting 4-5 years recently. Lynch said no and asked where he got that information that from, Mike didnt say and looked confused. I'm under the impression that he has no idea regarding Toms contract.

After hearing Lynchs comments and approach to that question indicates that he's more then likely going to stay.

Alastair Lynch just said that Melbourne supporters should be confident Scully will be at Melbourne in 2012. .

Does this mean i can crack that bottle of red soon??? B)

I hope the contract will be more than 12 months....i do not want to revisit this scenario again....

Mike Sheahan asked Alastair Lynch on "On the Couch" if Melbourne supporters should be optimistic about Tom Scully staying at the Demons and Lynch said yes, they "should be optimistic", which is promising.....???

I am actually happy he is with Lynch, seems to come across very well. I've said this before a family member was/is being looked after by Velocity and they are fantastic.

Sheahan did look silly after that. The reasons made perfect sense.

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie
