[Striker475 696]

Ive said that a few times too

But everytime I try to get out...........they pull me back in again

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

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

If he leaves we will most definitely have a Scully thread. And it will probably cause the internet to melt.

[Guest Artie Bucco]

Don't worry - there'll be "Jack Viney - worth a 1st round pick?"

[Sir Why You Little 34,443]

Has he re-signed yet?

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.

[Striker475 696]

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

That'd end the internet for me. I couldn't deal with it.

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.

Lynch is On The Couch instead of Roos. Mike already mentioned he will ask him about it!

can you keep us posted? i dont have fox sports

[Clanger King 9]

Lynch said that demon fans should be optimistic about Tom remaining at the dees

[Geddy Lee 582]

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.

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

[mattb 0]

just asked lynch should melbourne supporters be optimistic about scully playing at melbourne in 2012 lynch replied with

"you should be optimistic, yeah"

[hardtack 10,126]

Well, Sheahan certainly came out of that looking pretty silly.

[brendan 3,382]

mike asked if dees supporters should be optimistic about tom staying lynch said yes

[Jaded No More 57,820]

Lynch said that demon fans should be optimistic about Tom remaining at the dees

Interesting tactic.

Bid is with MFC. Time for GWS to make their next move.

[Clanger King 9]

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.

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....

[baysidedave 246]

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.....???

[PeterJames 46]

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.
