I thought the first few words of the post you were responding to, explained that. There had been a post a little earlier that cited a BF post, and this was from the same thread and in a similar vein; so I thought it was worth adding to the discussion.

This is something i copied from Bigfooty from someone that support GWS.

Yep congratulations are in order to you guy's I have just heard on very good authority, from someone from gws he has turned down the gws offer. I don't know when this will be confirmed but gws were hoping to have a presser on tuesday but were informed at 4.30 this afternoon that he will not be taking up the offer. I can see the egg on faces now, anyway congratulations if that's the young man's wishes I respect him

Cheers

I'm not sure what your problem is. I posted something as a discussion point... as it was a claim someone was making. I made no comment on it at the time and didn't attempt to editorialise; this is a forum that engages in discussion after all.

You keep repeating the same things ad infinitum concerning TS's impending departure with no solid facts to back you up (just for the hell of it), yet I put up something a little different and you have a problem it???

I am in the camp that chooses to take TS at his word, and will accept his decision whatever the outcome... I do not say he is gone and I do not say he will stay, because there are no facts to back up either position.

it does indeed. Im taken to task.. so will others. BF is such a font of absolute gospel after all :rolleyes:

I am after all doing as you suggest...discussing it. And qustioning its verocity. Its seems michievious at best , the originating post ( on BF ) and scurrelous rubbish at worst. In reposting it you wil lhave to assume responsibility also..

I and others have put our case..based on observations. It points in one direction.

Still all will eventually come to a head I guess.

There are actually certain facts.. What there isnt is a public announcement. Soon

That is the third time that has been written in this thread.

I think that is sufficient.

Let's just wait for some word from the club.

Can someone explain to me how the money he will make in the long term is not much different ? That is a throw away comment with no substance.If the figures are to be believed he will make $600K a season for 5 years at Melbourne and $1M a season for 5 years at GWS. Thats $2M difference over the life of the contract. That takes him to 25 years old - lets put his career out to 33 - 8 years following. He has got to earn $250K per year more somewhere else for 8 years purely to break even with the first contract.Secondly GWS are heavily front loading the first contract, as would the MFC but GWS are front loading $1M per year as opposed to MFC $600K.Happy to discuss lots of other reasons for him to stay but anyway you look it - if it is a financial decision there are huge reasons for him to go. There is a big short and long term $ difference.

I think most people who mention this (myself included) are talking about long term, being in the home of footy, not just career. If he becomes as good as most of us think he will, then it is fair to suggest he will level out with the GWS offer, possibly by the next contract. This would mean he is 2 mil short, but still doing well. But the earning potential from the business contacts in Melbourne etc, would have to be stronger than if he is in a second rate side in Sydney (this may not be the case, but is what I am expecting). Now if we are to believe WM, who is someone who knows Tom and the only person on here who has something from the horses mouth face to face, the $ values are not what has been reported, and therefore there is a good chance that the difference will be even smaller. It is all speculation, every last bit of it, but maybe this gives you some perspective on why some of us hold this view.

Nup. It's for the money and the money only.

More of RR stating something as fact, when he actually has no bloody idea like the rest of us.

Rischitelli (sp?) turned up to B&F last year......AND won the bloody thing!

True daisy, but it would be fair to remember the way he was treated by the Bears at the end of the 09 season. Scully has never been treated in such a way by MFC

What happens if Tom re-signs with MFC for 12 months?Can we repeat all this 'fun' again next year? :wacko:

You are a sick, sick man :)

This thread will hit 5,000 posts!!!

Surely it already has given there has been.... how many of these??

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    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
