Velocity have a huge announcement to make- about skulling- not Scully

Surprisingly no name stable of "stars" .

Fairly amateurish looking organisation .

People aren't exactly beating down their door to get on their books .

BIG NAMES FALL TO THE LURE OF THE GIANTS

"GWS coach Kevin Sheedy told the Herald Sun's Jon Ralph at the weekend the club planned to appoint co-captains next year. Scully is expected to be one."

If that's true then the GWS recruiting drive to date has been an epic failure.

Agreed!

Talking this morning to a player manager. Fairly new to game, firstly he has no idea about Scully but said GWS have missed their main targets and pretty much throwing a blank cheque at guys like Scully and Ward, who at the start of the year weren't high targets.

Also he said Merric Buchanan (spelling maybe wrong) will be a gun and should look at. He is also a gun Australian U/19 cricketer. Brother of the Brisbane bloke.

I have said this all along GWS is in huge trouble. If the 4 players are correct Palmer, Ward, Davis and Scully get ready for the AFL/VFL record books to have a huge year. Our loss to Geelong will be a good result for GWS. It seems the only players they can get are from bottom 8 clubs and they are not getting the top line players they need. At least Gold Coast built a good midfield and added three good defenders.

If Tom decides to go good luck to him, he will do his 5 years and come back to a Victorian club after that.

Which might prove Scully didn't lie.

Ive personally thought this decision is quite old now. I also have a sneaking suspicion the CLub knows in most ways but the formality. I suspect the Club now is saying..lets get on with it. We all have to move forward..yadda yadda yadda.

I await tomorrows presser

of course..just my opinion :lol:

Has a presser been confirmed by the Giants? Can anyone tell me what time it is on and where I can see it please?

yeah I agree, they will be absolute crap with very young players and a few rejects as 'experienced' players. After the initial 10,000-15,000 per game they will expect crowds of 2-3,000 a game and thrashings of 200 points. It is going to be the biggest disaster of all time and I reckon they will be moved to Tasmania within 5 years. I don't care if Scully goes as long as we get 2 first round draft picks for him.

I think I may have posted only either once or twice on this topic all year but must admit I am over it.

Sull make a decision what ever it is then we can move forward and look forward to 2012.

Don't kid yourself. If they get tiny crowds and 200-point blowouts, the AFL will change the rules to allow them to pick, say, 8 players from other clubs, no restrictions, no questions asked.

The AFL will not allow them to fail. Regardless of the cost.

This, they have taken a huge risk the AFL. It is more of a marketing project than an AFL team. It will be around no matter what. They have been given a two year window to poach players but will find it just as tough next year as players will see how much they struggle. Expect announcements by the end of the week on unsigned players I would think.

Might have already been done - free agency + extra salary cap for GC and GWS.

Are you suggesting that the AFL is Corrupt... :o

On face value this would support the stance that Scully still hadn't made his mind up or else there'd be a similiar article with his name in it.

Interesting...

If there isn't any confirmation for next 48 hours i believe that will be the case.

Do you reckon melbourne will just put out a statement like this if Scully goes. I rerckon GWS will have a presser this week with Ward & Scully sitting there in there new polos. Well if you want to give Scully the captaincy then go ahead but everyone knows he isnt ready for it.

Agreed. I'd expect confirmation of his departure within a couple of days should he decide to take the money. If he stays, then it might drag out a couple of weeks... that's how long it took Sylvia to put pen to paper anyway.

The longer it goes on the more chance we have of keeping him, IMO. Although it is only Monday morning, plenty of time for a GWS announcement!

Well looks like Scully is gone!

EVERYONE who had their name linked to GWS has gone!

Or, now that someone else has signed with GWS, does it make it less likely Scully will go, since apparently the opposite is true..?

Ward had not publically denied speaking with them. If Scully has already signed, he may want to wait a week or two to announce it so he does not impact his reputation or marketability.

I would imagine he just has to decide if he is going or staying then will sign a contract with whoever the next couple of days.

Who is going to captain GWS? Ward Scully, thats surely why they are looking at power.

They should get McLean for that reason.

Get two years of leadership while they are shizen...

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had
