First player officially off to GWS

[Bingo 297]

Adelaide must be filthy.

That's an all australian last year in Bock and now Filthy Phill Davis who was pick 10 in 2008. Both CHB's.

Even if the Dees do lose Scully, I'd argue that Adelaide have had it worse. At least we'd get 2 first round draft picks.

GWS gets its first AFL player: Adelaide's Phil Davis

I was speaking with one of Liam Pickering's understudies on Sunday, unfortunately he said that T.Scully has 100% signed with GWS.

That's great, but how exactly would someone in that position, so far removed from Scully, know this information?

Answer: it's just another idiot big-noting themself, as if they know something.

Just like Davis, Scully has the integrity to tell his teammates when he makes the decision.

[IWAP 170]

Its worth noting that Davis is out for the season with injury. I'm sure if he was still playing, he'd be less likely to come clean so soon.

[Samsara 65]

I can't see Scully staying given everything that happened. We did just get beaten by 31 goals. That is worse then GC or GWS will do in thier infancy. It would take a miracle to keep him at this stage.

On Sunday, he also told me about Phil Davis already signing with the Giants. Coincidence?, think not.

Apparently also, at Toms b'day a couple of months back, none of the Melbourne boys turned up...make of it what you will.

Just my two cents.

This has been covered. Wasn't it stated back then they weren't invited ? Family affair for a 20th ? Seems like some would like to make more of it than it is.

It's not like it was his 21st.

Whoop-dee-do.

[Jack son 5 162]

My brothers friend was walking past the AAMI Stadium car park the other week and witnessed TS tripping over as he was getting out of his car. All the other Melbourne players just all looked away and giggled. Not one of them went to his aid.

Pickering has understudies........HAHAHAHAH

Fair enough, sorry...obviously must have missed that part.

Lol...you saw that too?

Pretty sure the media have been telling us, that it was taylor walker? that was headed to GWS.... So much for rumour

Now some sections are stating he could go to Sydney.

No accountability though.

It really shows you how much the experts do know and how we continually get sucked in - Paul Connors stated Taylor Walker had in fact signed with GWS. You got that wrong Paul !!!

Were they asked? Doesn't matter same result

Pretty sure GWS can still trade for Walker. Much like GC did to get Brennan

[Striker475 696]

Everyone's thinking it but noone's saying it. The player that GWS are absolutely set to take from Melbourne.

Rated extremely highly.

Known for his quality disposal.

Played quite a few good games for Melbourne early in his career.

Struggling to get a game at the minute, but once he sorts himself out will be awesome.

The one.

The only.

Cale Morton.

I'll believe it when I see it.

You heard on Sunday?

Well according to Davis, he made his decision on the weekend and news travels fast.

I'm sure it was common knowledge throughout the AFL fairly quickly.

Getting one rumour right doesn't make your mate the authority on player signings.

Especially if he's using Scully's birthday as part of his reasoning - if he really knew, that little tidbit would be irrelevant (moreso than it already is).

Butbutbut... they were rumours and they were EVERYWHERE, and so consistent! So they must have been true. I don't understand how it couldn't have been true

Those media types that predicted Walker was going to GWS are really going to cop it!

Oooh, they'll pay for it alright...

[Arrow 1,257]

I know 100% that this isn't true. But thanks anyway

[Nasher 33,607]

Indeed. After all, why would they put their credibility on the line if there's a chance it might be false?

No, all that will be forgotten in a week's time. Later they will say that every player mentioned as being targetted by GWS was picked up by them.

Exactly. Like Ricky Petterd Gary Ablett, etc.

[Forest Demon 4,681]

I think we should make a play at Taylor Walker. Personally I think he will be a top player, but looks like he possibly could be a bit of a [censored].

Oh, and Phil Davis is a good get for GWS if his injuries hold up. Has been very impressive in the small amount of footy he has played for Adelaide.

Of course he has. Of course, he's not actually allowed to sign their contract for another couple of months, but why let details get in the way of a good rumour.
