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

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!

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...

    GOLDIE'S METTLE by Meggs

    On a perfect night for football at the home of the Redlegs, Norwood Oval, it was the visiting underdogs Melbourne who led all night and hung on to prevail in a 2-point nail-biter. In the previous round St Kilda had made it a tough physical game to help restrict Adelaide from scoring and so Mick Stinear set a similar strategy for his team. To win it would require every player to do their bit on the field plus a little bit of luck.  Fifty game milestoner Sinead Goldrick epitomised

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play
