At the end of the year what will be will be and none of us can change that!

Go Dees!

Well said.

We have bigger things to think about than Tom's contract, and that has a timeframe to be resolved, and one of two known eventualities ie. he will go and we get the two picks on offer, or he stays at around the reported $3m over 5.

The question of the restructure of the FD is the issue that has taken my attention...

Will CC stay?

Will our assistants be shown the door?

Will Todd throw his hat in?

Is Malthouse interested?

My inklings?

Yes, Yes, No, and Yes.

But this is for another thread...

Thanks.

So the GWS list manager says that they gave Tom Scully an offer last year. That makes Scully's press conference a farce.

However his management group might not have given it to tom scully, when answering question scully might not have known anything. Remeber there aren;t any mention his management groups asked him to held the press conference.

No, it only means someone is lying...

Who would you believe?

Scully, who has not been known to lie about anything yet, and who is spoken of as being a young man of great character...

OR

Silvagni, who stumbled through that interview, and whose own coach (Sheedy) and recruitment manager (Allen) have both denied making contact with Scully (meaning someone in that organisation is lying)...

Tough choice, that one.

I would believe the person who has nothing to gain by lying.

I think Silvagni accidently let it slip as he struggled in the interview. And as for Sheedy's denial, he denied signing Davis after Davis held a press conference announcing that he had.

I haven’t really had an opinion on whether he will stay or go until now, but this makes it pretty clear to me.

It couldn't be less clear.

Believe what you want to believe, but you're doing it for the wrong reasons.

Your logic simply doesn't add up.

There were a couples of morons near where I was sitting booing Scully everytime he touched the ball. Hope these scum never show up to a Melbourne game again.

No surprises there. Scully is going to play for GWS next year, he has been a destabilizing influence on our young team all year. He is unable to give his full attention to the job we are paying him to do. He isn't willing to COMMIT to this team and club. I look at him and see all that is wrong with the competition and those that run it. Although I won't boo him until next year I have no problems with those that do. Personally the only reason I can see for him not playing in the casey 2nds is the need for 2 first round picks.

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.

TALK ABOUT AN ENTRANCE! BAM!

Mmmm... cop that.

I seriously worry about the state of some of our supporters.

I mean, let's consider a hypothetical - Scully signs with MFC as stated by Diamond Jim above...

How do certain supporters, now baying for him to leave, feel with this result?

They are building up a resentment towards Scully for merely doing what he said he'd do at the start of the season, and sticking to it.

Waiting until after the season to sign, just as Watts did last year, and many other players before them.

Building up a resentment borne out of insecurity and a lack of mental strength, in my opinion.

Like those pathetic "supporters" booing Scully at the football.

Convinced he's going because they are too stupid to think for themselves and realised they are being lemmings, dictated to by the media.

It's kinda sad.

But I wonder how these same people will cope supporting him if (when imo) he stays?

Where we you four months, 100s of pages and thousands of posts ago? I started the season with hair, I've since dropped 20 kilos and am bald.

A new poster with a totally unsubstantiated claim. I remember when this all started there were several people (mainly on BF) who were adamant he would sign within a couple of weeks. I am inclined to believe he will leave, but would be stoked if he stays. I certainly harbour no resentment against the boy; despite having done so (a bit) in the past. I won't deny that I want him to stay and hope he does so!

lol

In fact, it's possible that he and his management team do not communicate audibly but through telepathy. In which case it wouldn't be 'actual communication' as we commonly understand it.

So you're prepared to hail anonymous poster Diamond Jim and slander highly respected champion Steve Silvagni. Nice.

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

Can we just clarify, you haven’t been approached and your family hasn’t been approached? Has you management been approached by GWS? “Absolutely not.”

If you do, I don't see how you can have made the above comment.

I think there's something lacking in your ability to comprehend.

Some folk seem incapablel of considering the logic and impications, let alone opportunities had TS signed wtih Melbourne already.

Amazing

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.

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury.

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
