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

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

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.

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

Are there actually any registered Demonland posters who havent added something to this thread?

I`ve read plenty of it, won`t post on it! Until now !


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 :(

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


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.

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

"you should be optimistic, yeah"

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

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


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.

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.

  • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

    Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

  • REPORT: Adelaide

    The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

  • CASEY: Coburg

    The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

  • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

    After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
