Agreed.

This thread will end when the month of July ends and a new one will start for August to be based on new developments only.

Those who are nostalgic about their past ramblings on this subject have a day or so to vent their frustrations, prognosticate, ruminate, philosophise and generally articulate their views and opinions on this extraordinary young man.

Any room for scuttlebutt, sarcasm and innuendo?

Analogy, metaphor, hyperbole?

Huh? Because Pipefitter was disappointed there was no 'groundbreaking news' you're going to close the thread?

I think most posters know what this thread is about and what the time frame for Scully's 'decison' is.

There are a lot of interesting angles to this story and I think it affects the club and its supporters in several different ways.

The Scully Saga © is also part of a larger debate about where the AFL is headed in general.

Aside from the odd silly fracas some salient issues have been raised and I for one feel there's plenty more helium left in this party balloon.

Isn't it refreshing to read Luke Shuey's comments this morning. Even though he's only been at West Coast a short period of time and played only (ahem) 22 games he offers this: "I could never understand how someone could fall in love with a footy club so much," Shuey said. "But now that I've got over here and I've seen what the club has to offer me and the opportunities it has given me, I realise why."

Grew up a Dees supporter young Luke.

Did I read someone refer to an extraordinary young man ?


These TS threads were always going to be an ordeal by fire for all. Not of our making but thats reality. But it is clear to me the powers that be on this forum favour taking the MFC spin line on this matter. Fair enough, it helps to protect the club for the short term but is not conductive for rational debate thus allowing the lunatics to take over the asylum.

hehehehehe ... this point is quite "funny" ... "dont bore me with the detail just give me the ground breaking news Mr Jones/Mr Hinch"

IMHO sadly a point missed by many who just dont understand or care to take the time to understand our little "charade".

I personally thank you & RPFC we are all different but it has been a pleasure having a chat with you both.

Ultimately I think "many" of us hope Tom stays ... However, many think he going. Many appear to no longer want him to stay.

For me when this is all done and dusted, I will still support the Dees & Tom Scully wherever he ends up.

Go Dees

I'm sorry what Pipefitter says Goes. :P
 

nah...lets just lift the carpet for a moment...sweep....done :rolleyes:

Perhaps this is all a ploy by Tom and the MFC knowing his knee is shot and it's a way of extracting maximum cash for Tom and maximum compensation for Melbourne; now there's a conspiracy for you.

Anyone else got a theory; irrespective of how stupid it may be?

Yeah - Tom and the club know he's staying and are stringing GWS along to keep them away from our other uncontracted players (like Sylvia) until we can sort out their contracts. Well, I can dream right?


I just wonder if todays performance might just seal it all now for ever !! Whod want to play with this bunch of wallies !! :rolleyes:

I really couldn't give a stuff about Scully anymore. This club has bigger problems than paying over the odds for a kid.

If he wants to stay and play for us on a wage that is ample for a 3rd year player then glad to have you. If he doesn't Bye Bye! We need money to get an AFL standard coach to this club that will win us a flag. Keeping a single unproven kid won't win us a flag anytime soon.

well..thats put this subject to rest Id suggest... and just in the nick of time before the curfew !!!! pmsl

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
