Todd Viney said it best today, and I hope that we can end all TS related discussion until a decision is made after I paraphrase him... The Melbourne Football Club will not end if Tom Scully goes.

Now MOVE ON!

    How do you know he isn't?

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

    Thats right. In a weak draft Year, they could trade, or if the Crows won't deal, they could just work out which pick to use on him if he enters the draft.

    Didn't he also say something like it would be better for the club if he did it earlier rather than later?

    Yeah he did, to enable and sort/assist with list management. But he also said he supports that he wants (as stated) to handle it at the end of the season too.

    We'll just have to wait.

    He;s just being very diplomatic. A subtle hint that this is hurting us.

    Yes they can, however according to these oh so credible media people, who according to many here only put their necks on the line when they have fact, stated Walker had ALREADY signed with GWS 100% - this has now conclusively been proven false

    Read it that way too. Viney is no nonsense. He would be appalled at the fawning over anyone. He's very much a case of the player proving worth to a club etc.. Yes a bit old school....but I like it.

    Viney would have no time for anyone, any faction etc who makes a go of stuffing the club around. Got to love that kind of attitude dont you :)

    Bet hes intsilled a different sort of attitude in his own kid as compared others

And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around?

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
