What interesting ways we move in. We unite behind club & player as one. I'm sure we will be tested, but have we not been tested before.

What will be will be. But it will be oh such much better with TS playing in the red & the blue.

My dog just told me Scully was staying.

Finally, some confirmation. Now I can stop reading this stupid thread.

Does your Dog have a Twitter account? That should make it official.

Not quite a dog, but Mark Stevens is blabbing further about Scully going. To be fair, he seems to be responding to supporters who have similar concerns to us. If true, the club must know. And if it is true, then surely we wouldn't be playing him.

Terrible management, if anything it associates Tom with lying.

@JamesNanks all I will say is someone I trust, who is extremely well connected, says Scully 100 pc gone. Sad but seemingly true.

in my eyes the potential merger was a much bigger and testing issue than this current one

Well he should name the person. If someone is talking about Scully and saying he is gone he should name the person.

Well, if it means anything, Kevin Bacon himself told me Scully is staying.

"Why don't you name the person Stevo? Pretty easy to spread nameless rumours, but then again it's your job!"

Reasonable question. I would say his job is to report on some news, like actually provide something of value rather than stoke the same fire. Step A: find something out. Step B: Get some proof.

This whole thing is so painful, precisely for this reason. Baseless rumours from nameless people. This whole saga is being carried out like school in july - no class!

If he has signed something and knows his intentions (which he surely does), then he should tell the club and pack his locker. Although, if he has then the press conference was self preservation.

All that we do know, is that someone is lying. Hope it's not Tom (I have faith btw).

i dont think this is jumping the gun at all but when we get our compo picks (probably 2 first rounders) we will probably be using them both next season because this years draft is terrible compared to next seasons draft apparently.

Tom Scully stated in his original press conference that he would tell the melbourne footy club that he has been approached. he also said that he, or his or his family have not agred/signed anything.

Dont question the guys integrity untill you have facts. End of story.

The media are full of you know what.

Depsite my post, I am not questioning his integrity at all. Full faith in what Tom has said previously, but this whole thing the AFL has created promotes deceit.

sorry to pick you up on this but you finish with "I have faith" but question above that he surely must know his intentions.

Gary Ablett said he changed his mind over half a dozen times and that was when there was already a firm offer on the table, and he had accomplished footballing glory at the Cats. Taking TS at face value ( and I DO have faith), he hasnt received an offer and has to choose down the track between huge dollars and moving on before providing reasonable service to his original club against staying at club that is 4-5 years advanced on the club that will be courting him and a club that has such a bright future according to the scribes. I suggest that he surely doesnt know his intentions - I believe ( with no insight or knowledge whatsoever) that his preference would be to stay but the question remains at to the size of the gap or the difference in the detail of the two offers.

I am treading a fine line, I do have faith in Tom, but I am uneasy and not as dismissive as some that so many people are saying he's gone (and with such certainty). It's not good for the club and will only get worse in the lead up to possibly finals.

The preference must certainly be with Melbourne. He would have to leave family / friends / home and be run ragged until his knee falls off at GWS.

He will be a star no doubt, but I dont see the logic from GWS. He is effectively a draftee, of which they will have plenty of (and good ones).

When he did his press conference i was so convinced he was staying that i got a new jumper with 31 on the back.

The longer this plays out the more of a distant memory that day becomes, but if you go back and re watch the interview or re read his quotes its impossible to say he's going unless hes a blatant lier, which is somthing im lead to believe he is not.

If he goes then his integrity is shot (at least from a MFC / supporter / team mates perspective), and if he stays then some people in the media who are spreading this 100% gone crap should be given a big please explain.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)
