Tom Scully in September ...

[bush demon 2,009]

Thomas the tank engine pulls in to Sydney Central. Who paid his wages in the second half season when he couldn't get a kick? Barely showed enough to warrant selection, let alone what the afl is paying him to play for the annoying mr. oranges.

[Daz's Dee's 113]

I begrudge him only because i believed him from the day i watched his press conference and declared he wanted to be a one club player! I wish him no luck if his heart was never with the MFC he could have put this to bed a long time ago, clearly the situation had an effect on our season. So what draft picks will we get? Are we any chance to get O'meara?

[Steve13 457]

It's finally over. Well done Tom I never thought a player leaving his club could be done worse than Gary last year, you proved me wrong.

Not the first time either, I thought i would be sad to see you go I was wrong again.

Enjoy your money while we LOYAL Melbourne people enjoy the premierships!

We must go as hard as GWS did for Scott Pendlebury next year.. We NEED to land a big fish.

Vlad giveth and vlad taketh away.

What a coward $cully turned out to be skulking off to Syd.

So the GW$cavengers got their boy..I knew once they got their clutches into him up there, he would be naively dazzled by all the glitz and $heedy's "verbal diarrhoea".

Little Tommy probably won't even play against us to protect his feelings, just as Jr. didn't play at Geelong.

Posters that think our boys would rough him up - that's not their style, unfortunately, just watch, they're too nice, they'll hug him like a prodigal son..Seen it all too often this year against teams that have thrashed us.

[Pipefitter 2,139]

Having Jim Stynes defend his integrity when he has been lying to everyones face for a year makes me absolutely sick. The kid has shown no class at all. He better have a big target on his back when we play him next year.

[wmth 69]

It seems he went up to syndey and never came back. I highly doubt he had the guts to address the players and Jimmy. Going to the script, it was probably a phone call from his management. A weight has been lifted the MFC no doubt. Glad it's over.

Tapscott straight off the square and bury him.

[Jaded No More 67,772]

Meh.

Glad it's over.

Karma is a [censored] and I fully expect Scully to experience very little team success in his life, while he watches his old club play finals and possibly win a premiership in the coming years.

Money does not make you happy.

[drdrake 3,124]

Good luck Tom you will need it, get ready for a heavy tag each week and a number of 100 point pumpings over the next three years, in fact you will be lucky to get with in 10 goals of anyone for the next 12 months.

As for the MFC we move on, we now seek the compensation we deserve for losing the number 1 pick from 2 years ago, we use this to continue to improve our list whether it is through senior players our more young players.

The end of the day Tom did what is best for Tom and the MFC now has to do what is best for the MFC

[Vagg 2,437]

Thank god we got Jack Trengove !!

Miles ahead of hime anyway

And not only is he going to be a star, but he's already demonstrated incredible loyalty to the MFC. Yep, let's move on and embrace the wonderful young talent that we DO have...!

[stranga 328]

Can't wait for melb vs GWS.

Beamer will bury him and tell him to gettttt f'd

then tapscot will clean him up and tell him to get f'd.

The sad thing is they wont. Footy just isnt like that anymore unfortunatley. They will be pattign him on the ass just like the dogs players did with Ward. Its the supporters who hurt more.

[Samsara 65]

We have to become stronger and more resilient after this. I am going to put MORE money into the club next year as we move towards success in the coming years.

[hardtack 10,422]

Vlad giveth and vlad taketh away.

+1

But he gets off relatively clean while Scully will suffer the recriminations of the supporters (as can be evidenced in this thread).

[Face Your Demons 175]

The kid must crave wooden spoons

[Sir Why You Little 36,668]

I just cannot work out why the MFC have not come out on the front foot...Why should MY club KowTow to a GWS Press Conference.

What is the MFC? If they knew anything about this signing why didn't they make noise to the Members????

Not Happy Jan.

Paid up for 2012 btw.

[Choko 493]

Agree with all the parochialism about Tom. Not really, but hey, it's theapeautic, so he can get stuffed.

But for those who are fatalistic about the football club and are calling this a black day, embarrassing, devastating, etc... let me say this:

The Melbourne Football Club will always be better off with players who want to play for us. If Scully doesn't see our vision, he can go buy a big 3D HD TV in Sydney, to watch our next 5 years of constant rise to premierships. Things have a way of equalising themselves out. Geelong is better this year without Ablett, plus they have enough money to pay all their other players, and 2 draft picks to buy them sustained success for the better part of the next 10 years. If Brisbane could have had the same for a couple of its stars 3 years ago, they would be top 8 now.

So it's not embarrassing. It's a once in a lifetime chance to cash in for $cully. It's not the club's best day, but it's certainly far from our worst.

[cooko 124]

good bye you traitor

[DemonOX 8,701]

However, if I ever see him in the street, he's going to get a sharp kick to the knee when he's not looking.........

Thats hilarious.

Well said and i dont think you would be the only one!!

[Mac7 309]

Well done Tom you have officially sold your soul, limited your career, lost respect from all your peers and become Sheedys little bi*tch!!

Hope your money helps you sleep at night because you clearly have no morals.

This germ is the ultimate professional? What a joke. He is nothing but a greedy child.

[Face Your Demons 175]

I guess he is still is a one club player, GSW will never be a real club

[Sir Why You Little 36,668]

YES GUYS....DO NOT CANCEL MEMBERSHIPS.

BUY MORE....WE MUST GET STRONGER OUT OF THIS.....MUCH STRONGER

[Demon2 58]

Its over and thats good....good luck to GWS in trying to keep him after 6 years on less than 1 million a year.....we just need to be ready at the time to take players of their hands....

Anyway....lets hope we use the compo in a smart way and make the best use of it for the club.

All this talk about Pendlebury and the like forget it..if he leaves the Filth it will be for money to GWS....he ain't leaving the Filth to come to us, no matter who he supported as a kid.

Lets try and somehow get Jack Viney in this draft if possible, so we can have a pick or two for next years super draft.

[cooko 124]

i guess the Ox was right!

[rpfc 28,052]

Gutted. It's a stake to the heart and I am glad that the club informed us as soon as they knew - there was no subterfuge.

I will boo the kid - that is what sport is about. Booing is fine, anything more than that is not.

But outside of the two games we play them - we have to move on.

We are not going to get better as a club by dwelling on why we lost the kid.

So let's get the recriminations out of the way and then go into our most important trade week in its short history.

We need to get a hardened midfielder to replace Scully. And if we can get some older heads aswell then that is great.

I don't know what is available but if we don't get that midfielder with the comp picks we will have pushed back our window a year, it is just the way it is.

I don't say this a lot, but...

Go the Fracking Dees.

[PeterJames 46]

Wish I could go the the Bluey, Beamers speech should be another ripper! Will the coward show?
