This rat has been swimming back to the ship...

I still can't see Scully leaving.

It just doesn't make sense.

Given Tom Scully's year is over, how do we rate his performance in 2011?

I've most games in Melbourne and only seen moments of his good stuff this year, balanced by him being brushed off the ball or opposition too easily (he's not alone in this dept)... He's been a consistent trier, running all day, yet seemed more damaging last year...

thoughts?

Paul . If anyone other than Scully I think most might surmise as a pretty average year with few highlights marred by injury. Absolutely nothing to write home about or mention in dispatches . A whole lot of not much really. But hey it's Scully .. So there were glimpses etc etc :rolleyes:

It's hard to rate, as he has clearly been playing injured or not quite right.

His stats look ok - good. But if you watch him closely in games he lacks determination to chase hard and do the 1%'s.

I put it down to injury myself.

I honestly don't really care if he stays or goes now. Two first extra first round picks next year would be great.

Depends how bad his knee is. And no one on here knows so its all pure speculation and guesswork.

Didn't sheeds say he secured one of three players out of Pendles, Swan and Thomas.

Obviously even Sheedy doesn't know what's going on inside his club.

Now let me see. That leaves them with Sheedy, Choko Williams, Phil Davis and ...

You forgot Gubby Allen. :P

P.S- and Israel Folau, who according to sheedy the best talent in AFL :P :P :P :P

I hope we belt the crap out of GWS twice in 2012,13,14,15,16,... irrespective of dear Toms decision.

Don't mind GC, can't stand GWS...

and the more and more others dont sign....leaves power to speculate as to whos left !!! There will be some going.

Have It on very good authority he is not leaving and the soreness is in fact a really bad quad. From the source I heard it actually seems to some it may be the dreaded ostetiatis...

He copped a pretty bad bump last week which looked like it corked his leg or reinjured his knee he hobbled for a bit the went off the ground he came back on later but didn't have much effect. It wouldn't surprise me if his exclusion is legitimate and I'm still willing to back the club and the kid on this one.

Our club is fractured at the minute. IT's troubling.

It's not reason enough to leave if he ends up doing so.

I still don't know what he will decide, and I am still uncomfortable with us disparaging him while he is still a Demon. Albeit an injured one.

We will find out soon enough...

Is someone able to enlighten me as to what has transpired that our club is fractured, I was overseas when all this blew up with only irregular access to a computer and though I've been back 3 weeks i'm still struggling to get an understanding of it all. You here the typical negative comments on the radio & in the press but nobody actually states what the problems were (are). I thought the Stynes administration was supposed to get rid of all this divisiveness

Part of what has transpired seems to be that Schwab and connelly were pushing the "premiership model" too fast/hard and off-sided the senior players, who complained to the board just prior to the Geelong game. They then got belted by a record margin by Geelong and the board sacked Bailey (who it seems these players had no problem with...), and Viney took over...

I don't know that it was because the premiership model was being pushed too hard/fast - that doesn't make a lot of sense; you'd have thought that the players would want a premiership tomorrow if it could be done and that nothing was "too fast". It would seem that Connolly, Schwab and Bailey were all at the centre of the "fracturing" though, but I doubt we'll (rightfully) ever know the details, and I for one will never again feel 100% comfortable until all three have left the room.

Excusez-moi. (from Paris )

Would it be fair to say that a strong and determined coach should have an influence on how things evolve with Scully's re-signing (resigning?)?

How far along that track might we be?

Does the strong and determined coach have $300k a year in his bank account to make up the difference?

I hope there's a second version of the banner at the top of this page so that $cully can be removed ASAP once he stooges us.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
