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.

Anyway just get the announcement over and done with.

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.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
