The Tom Scully Saga © continues ...

[Range Rover 1,935]

And your willing to judge a highly respect MFC football player Tom Scully, on subjects relating to Tom Scully, when he has expressed his view and desires

And praise a Carlton and GWS stalwart in relations to Tom Scully when Tom Scully has made his stance clear, as a current MFC player

Nice

What Im willing to do is take a real Melbourne football club champion ... The Ox ... at his word.

Particularly when his version of events is corroborated by GWS (Silvagni) themselves.

[Range Rover 1,935]

Your point?

[Mac7 309]

Your point?

That Ox is now solely a member of the media. The fact he played for Melbourne makes no difference in this matter.

[PeterJames 46]

What did other Demonlanders think about the incident where, I think it was Sylvia, did a long , well weighted pass from CHB up the centre for Tom to run on to with the flight. There was a (fairly distant) Eagle player coming from the opposite direction. A small hesitation, and the opportunity was lost. Some may say that self-preservation was sensible. But Brad Green, Jared Rivers,Clint Bartram etc, would have marked that ball.

It made me wonder about our big money offer......and hope it's not accepted.

Massive shirk! Was very dissapointing, had a look didn't go back hard enough. morton has been slammed on here for being soft, this was as bad as anything he has done.

Just like Flower or Barrassi, it makes him no less real of an MFC champion.

And it does matter when people attack his credibility, particularly when its backed up by someone who should know - Silvagni.

Its easy, probably far too easy, to scoff at journalists comments. Not so easy to dismiss the words of two reputable greats of the game.

So what does one legitimately read out of it. ?? I dont think the kids afraid of much. He'll get in amongst it when he there or needed. But that sort of occasion allows a person just that little longer to think about things.

Was his heart in it? Now some are going to slang me for that...but its a fair question. If youre not really in the zone, or feel like you paricularly ought to be somewhere then people often draw a line. Did he ?

I love the OX, great to listen to but really, as a reliable source when it comes to TS contract??? who the hell would tell him that sort of information???

More likely that he jumped on the bandwagon when everyone else was spruiking it, 3rd or 4th chain of supply i would suggest, even if he is proven correct

[Whispering_Jack 31,144]

I have had enough of this Tom Scully stuff. I have stayed silent but it has come time to get the facts out. Scully has signed with Melbourne and is on $600,000 a year. I will answer no questions on this and if anyone continues this post, I will personally stick my hand through the computer and ring your neck.

Good stuff Diamond Jim.

I suppose it's in order to close this thread now?

[Captain Jack Jordan 32]

Should Scully make the decision to leave us for GWS ,

Does anyone know if we can get Johnathon Patton(Tipped to be no1 draft pick) as compo .

This would straighten us up .

And make it all Ok

and help us all sleep well .

(The next Johnathon Brown)

Please answer if this is a REAL possibility as a compo pick for TS

[mattb 0]

no hope of getting patton, although i would love that too.

[Captain Jack Jordan 32]

If they want Scully they have to give us one or two top picks dont they?

[Captain Jack Jordan 32]

Patton or no deal i say .

[deeflog 679]

Patton or no deal i say .

you just keep living in la la land CJJ

[e25 5]

Patton or no deal i say .

It can't possibly happen this year, unless he miraculously lasts until our draft pick, ie. it won't happen.

Ok?

So it looks like no deal...

Are you talking about the bloke who's not even 100% sure?

So much so that he has been coming out with silly percentages in an attempt to appear certain, but if he was certain he'd just say 100%?

Come on Range Rover, try to come up with at least 1 decent argument.

I just fee a bitl sorry for you now.

How will YOU feel if Scully signs on to stay at MFC?

This is the thing that gives me the irrits about this. Any old rumourmonger in the media is considered gospel, but the word straight from the horse's mouth isn't good enough.

Also, I'm not sure why I'm posting this as I'm pretty sure I've posted the same thing about 10 times in this thread now.

How long do I have to remain sober for before I'm allowed to post in the "not a Scully" thread?

[Harcourt 146]

How will YOU feel if Scully signs on to stay at MFC?

On current form, and at the reported amount......cheated!!

I would be shocked if our supposed 5 year $3m deal on the table. I strongly doubt we would have offered him that much.

I'm going to ask a question anyway

When will the deal be announced.

Someone had to ask, well done!

[Guest The Tweed Pig]

Scully has had a very injury interrupted season, is still small, and must have much on his mind. That said, Gubby Allan must be nervous as hell, cos right now he looks like a turkey. Scully wouldn't be in the top 200 players in the league, but he'll just about be the hghest paid player. Pretty funny really.

And yes, I have faith that with an injury free run Scully will prove his worth, but the facts are that if he leaves Melb he will have left after giving us absolutely nothing. He'll be a really good player when fit, when stronger and when he makes better decisions. And he will deliver on these aspects.

agree.... really makes me wonder weather RR is a MFC supporter at all? hmmmm.... seems to have more love for silvagni than the MFC? TROLL

[beelzebub 23,390]

It would beg the question then Tweed..or anyone.. How far into say a 5year Million dollar a year deal does he start being worth the pay ? It all becomes a deal needing very careful thinking..

[beelzebub 23,390]

youre hardly a troll simply for not being so subservient to some ridiculous ideal that all MFC are beyond reproach or question

[Luck Lucy 0]

My take on this is that the club wouldn't be playing him if he hadn't agreed by now to stay on. Therefore, he is staying, has signed on and will be a Demon for many years to come.
