Maybe I am a simple footy romantic , surely getting great coin playing for an historic club against other big melbourne clubs on the best ground in the world is more attractive than better coin for a novelty in west Sydney with a train as the siren where noone gives a rats!!.

I'm still hopeful for Tom to be a star for the Dees. Watching Geelong last night and seeing their core if enright, bartel, sellwood etc, I would love to see Scully, trengove, Tappy , grimes, watts, blease with 80 plus games together.

Imagine how much of a boost his signature would be as we secure a coach, trades and head to the next preseason?

I'm assuming this is a joke, no?

I really don't know what teetotalling players do on 'Mad Monday'...

Are they allowed to skip it? It's never come up in the teams I have played for...

How about this - they should come along for a few laughs and they can excuse themselves at the point where the conversation turns into the kind of conversation that only drunken people can understand...

I cant believe this thread will soon be over .

Never before has so much data been wasted by so many

for the benefit of so few

Fair call

... and to top off the farce, Tom ( "I'm not making a decision until the end of the season") Scully looks likely to make his decision without even knowing who his current club's coach is going to be!

Well, if we do it the way I want to: we won't know until the second week of October...

I'm assuming people would want an answer before then?

Well it doesnt fill me with much hope when his uncle told me tonight he and his mum have been looking at houses around sydney. But hey maybe he realised its not the place to live and he just wanted to check it out.

Anyway on another note did anyone see the doggies fans booing Ward today in the dogs, freo game.

I have to say Seeing Callan Ward getting booed by doggie fans is not so good for their club.

At least we are not going to see that headline with Scully this week.

He lucked out with 'soreness' didnt he.

and tomorow is Monday and the new world order rushes in.

In the United States they award the Pulitzer Prize for (among other things) achievements in newspaper and online journalism. While I'm not suggesting that Hagdorn's piece doesn't predict what will be the ultimate outcome for Scully and Ward, I think the journalist deserves recognition for his outstanding work from the organisers of this award.

After all, I understand the prize is properly pronounced as "Pull it, sir"

Do you think Tom would have sat down with his team mates and discussed his decision?

Would the thoughts of your team mates be relevant when deciding weather to stay with or leave the team?

I hope he has and I hope the team has, irrespective of what Tom decides.

It's been a tough year for Tom.

I hope he stays.

But if you do go Tom as the great song says

"... keep your eye on the Red and the Blue".

What will be good is when we collectively no longer have to be subjected (or take part) in this myth of Tom Scully being some ultra-competetive, fanatical-training, whiz-kid suprabeing from the planet Krypton, who like Abraham Lincoln never told a lie.

He's a just a talented kid who found himself in a unique professional sporting situation, handled it a bit sloppily, but who nevertheless is going to turn out to be a very good player at AFL level for GW$.

If his knee holds up.

That's it.

Hopefully he shows up for Mad Monday rock solid sober and Nathan Carroll makes a shock return to belt him.

I don't understand why most people on here are hanging it on him like he has left already, nothing has been signed and nothing is official. Give the kid the benefit of doubt atleast until something is made official. If he genuinely hasn't made his mind up, don't you think lousy sentiments like these would be the final straw?

C'mon DeezNutz ... do you really think he's hovering over the GW$ contract with a pen, clicking through Demonland, thinking "well if that's what they think of me .... scribble scribble"! :blink:

So it's between that bunch of crap or what Caroline wilson wrote yesterday.

The answer thus far is...The journalists have no idea and are just writing articles to pay themselves...

I am backing the club, and most of them seem to be confident Tom will stay.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    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.
