Must admit I did see Lynch on AFL Insider last night - but I did not take it as "he's signed with GWS" at all... sounded to me like Tom is genuinely yet to decide (consistent with what G Lyon said on Monday night). The only thing Lynch revealed is that we're likely to know the outcome later this week.

I wonder if GWS have actually put a deadline on it? Sheedy would know the longer he goes un-signed, that the $$$ may not have been the deal-breaker that they thought, so all of a sudden he's telling him to come and look at our facilities, and that in 10 years blah blah.

Could it be a late attempt to get him to sign? If it doesn't, it could free up more money to throw at someone else. Time's ticking for GWS - if the move hasn't been anounced by this time next week, I think there will be a lot of red faces in the media circles, as well as a majority of posters here.

Thats exactly what I thought as well. However did you also think that Brad Scott didnt believe him ? ( not that that makes one iota of difference)

Didn't really notice Scott's reaction to be honest. But Lynch's reaction to the question seemed encouraging to me... much like his "Melbourne supporters should be optimistic" comment from On The Couch a while back.

When I weigh up the benefits to each offer, it becomes crystal clear that the offer from MFC is better in the long run for his future, and his future earning potential. And this is, I believe, where we will see the difference in the coming days. If I am wrong, I will (un)happily eat my words, and I will be devastated to lose him. If I am right, I do not look forward to the way some of you will treat him given the way he has been treated throughout all of this.

This is where I disagree - I am not sure I can make the figures work to see it as a better financial option for him to stay with the MFC - but football is not all about finances - the emotional aspect of winning premierships and staying with mates counts for a lot - otherwise 3 Collingwood players would have marched.

I am hoping he see the non financial reasons for staying with us.

I think that there is where posters are getting confused. There is one quite large camp that thinks he is gone. There is a very small camp that think he will stay. But there is a significant amount of people ( me included and I hope you dont mind me speaking for you, RPFC, Hardtack and Nasher) who to this point are taking TS at face value and saying that he will make a decision one way or the other and until the decision comes out of his or the clubs mouth everything else is pure conjecture. Therefore this camp is refusing to dump on the kid as at this moment as he is a MFC player.

You can speak for me too Nutbean. I've been of that opinion all season.

It was brought up twice in the show - at the very beginning and in the middle - in the middle section he said it should be known by weeks end. At the beginning of the show I think Scott was very sceptical about the process.

Dont get me wrong - I will call a spade a mercenary if he leaves but right here and right now - he is a MFC player who hasnt made a decision.

Sorry, I missed the beginning of the show... will take your word for it. You seem slightly more credible than Kim Hagdorn... B)

So Rhys Palmer's player profile is up on the GWS website. But....but I thought his manager said they would talk to another club? Oh you mean they just BS'ed everyone? Surely not?

I really find it hard to believe anyone thinks Scully will stay at the MFC. To me it is so blatantly bloody obvious he is going it's quite laughable.

Please share with us how it is blatantly obvious. I am clearly sitting on the fence on this one, but would really love to know how you are so convinced. Is it because of what you have seen/heard in the media?

Apologies - I just realised how insulting that comparison must have come across to you!! Hagdorn is at about the lowest base you can get.

I can't really be stuffed to be honest, have a look through this thread there are a vast array of reasons. Perhaps the biggest one was early on when Stynes said something along the lines of "this situation is making kids lie to firends / family" was the first time alram bells started ringing.

Heard from a few people close to the club that they are fairly sure he is gone as well.

If anyone wants a $100 on it let me know.

What is YOUR definition of "people close to the Club"? Are they people that would any inside knowledge of what is going on with Tom? Becuase how I see it, unless the people that are close to the Club are in fact Tom Scully himself, or his parents, or his actual manager, I would think they would have absolutely no idea.

Schwarz is close to the Club, he's fairly sure (about 98% that is), perhaps he is your source.

I'm just making out official that I don't know.

It's the only defensible position. Any poster who thinks they do is full of [censored].

That's how I feel too.

You can think it is a charade like the way the Judd stuff was, but you don't know that for certain.

We will know soon and we can get on with preparations for next year.

Stynes stated that and then about 1 - 2 months later in an article / interview, stated he sat down with Tom, Tom looked him in the eye and he said no decision has been made

Carp.

Any position is defensible if it is backed up by sound logic and not proven incorrect by incontrovertible truth.

Your logic hasn't been sound, in my opinion

You've created a vision of a soap opera

If Melbourne knew, we'd know. Why would they play along with the so called charade?

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    The Demons head back to Melbourne after an embarrassing loss to the Dockers to take on the Magpies at the MCG on Kings Birthday. With a calf injury to Lachie Hunter and Jacob van Rooyen possibly returning from injury who comes in and who goes out?
