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.

 

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?

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!

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.


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.

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.

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.

 

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

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...!

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.

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.

+1

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

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.


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.

good bye you traitor

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!!

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.


YES GUYS....DO NOT CANCEL MEMBERSHIPS.

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

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.

i guess the Ox was right!

 

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.

  • FEATURE: 1925

    A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

  • NON-MFC: Round 08

    Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
