The Tom Scully Saga © continues ...

Recommended Posts

There's a big difference between sell the dream and sell the lie. That's the whole point of my original post - MFC must believe that it is still possible to sign Scully.

Well..they cant show you a picture of 2012 players can they. So thery use current. They're within rights to utilise alll imagery as they see fit. I take more out of the textual component of that email than the pics.;)

I do understand Old what youre saying. hence my suggestion ealier there is possibly some ground thats less black and white than grey.

But as no one can ( or wants to ) categorically say anythiing other than allowing impressions to pervade then they simply use what they have. Could be naughty, could be nice, at the end of season we'll check our list twice !! :lol:

It's an interesting scenario because if MM did agree to join us he'd want to retain Scully, on the other hand he'd be paranoid about it leaking. If Scully was told it would have to be with MMs OK obviously - maybe they'd have a meeting - they could borrow Control's Cone of Silence.

Absolutely. Leave management out. Just MM and TS.

They wouldn't need to say anything specific, Mick "Good coffee in Melbourne, eh Tom?" should do the trick. Does Tom actually drink caffeine - would be worth finding out in advance.

Just to be safe they could use this one:

Precisely. Tom "Sure does Mick, beats the hell out of falafel, that's for sure!"

Apologies in advance.

Here's how they should use it. Not good for his knee IMO:

I purposefully didnt include Ablett as the Ablett saga paled into insignificance compared to this ( or am I too close to it because he is an MFC player ?)

ask Ablett, Thompson, Balme, Cook, Geelong leadership group, Frank Costa if they feel the Scully situation is far larger than the Ablett one of 12 months ago.

i think you will be laughed at by all of the above mentioned

You are.

I therefore add Ablett to Judd coming home as the biggest media frenzy in my lifetime...hmmm ...not sure what difference that makes.

Speaking of impecible sources - Eddie MacGuire congratulated Melbourne two years ago on radio on the coup of what he believed was the signing of Judd by Melbourne and 48 hours later Judd announced that Melbourne was out of the race for his services.

From what i heard from few reliable sources there has definietly been a handshake agreement with Tom Scully and GWS, but then Tom Scully had a change of heart and revealed the club this secret and said he don't want to go to GWS and will sign with the demons at the end of the season then Melbourne demons decided to safe Scully from media and announce a press conference and tell there has been no approach, but few media has found out about it and reveal the story but they hasn't figure out Sculy change his mind and because Scully hasn't sign anything he will sign with the demons at the end of the season.

If i have proven wrong i wouldn't mind every insult that comes my way

i'm 100% sure about my source.

That's why i always say Tom Scully stay with dees.

Strange article that.

It says Scully is off, Ward may stay, Thomas will definitely stay, but that GWS has reached its max for salaries next year...

They don't know a damn thing...

You're right........another nothing article!

By the sounds of the post, I think this is his source:

Fellow Demonlanders this is three weeks in a row now you have fallen for nonsense articles written by Kim Hagdorn. A hack journo from WA who has absolutley no credibility.

Article a fortnight ago was about the Dees targetting Worsfold as coach

Last week was about 7 (yes 7!) players out of contract wanting to move on and not re-sign.

FFS can we close the Scully threads until an announcemnet is made either way, nothing we say or do will change whatever decision is to be made.

There's only one Judd - he is a freak - he played something like that in his 2nd year. As someone accurately observed he's like a white pointer in a school of fish.

I was watching Judd when we played Blues at the G a few weeks back and he seriously reminded me of a great white...wades into the fifty...everyone knows he is there and you know he is going to get the footy and do something damaging...no wonder Blues fans roll out the red carpet when he comes to the bench...

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
