Tom $cully has just pulled out of Mad Monday,maybe the presser is Monday morning.

Then again.. not much in mad monday for anyone who doesnt like a drink !!! ( ok , just making up excuses..lol )
 

Maybe I am a simple footy romantic , surely getting great coin playing for an historic club against other big melbourne clubs on the best ground in the world is more attractive than better coin for a novelty in west Sydney with a train as the siren where noone gives a rats!!.

I'm still hopeful for Tom to be a star for the Dees. Watching Geelong last night and seeing their core if enright, bartel, sellwood etc, I would love to see Scully, trengove, Tappy , grimes, watts, blease with 80 plus games together.

Imagine how much of a boost his signature would be as we secure a coach, trades and head to the next preseason?

I'm assuming this is a joke, no?

I really don't know what teetotalling players do on 'Mad Monday'...

Are they allowed to skip it? It's never come up in the teams I have played for...

How about this - they should come along for a few laughs and they can excuse themselves at the point where the conversation turns into the kind of conversation that only drunken people can understand...

I cant believe this thread will soon be over .

Never before has so much data been wasted by so many

for the benefit of so few

Fair call

... and to top off the farce, Tom ( "I'm not making a decision until the end of the season") Scully looks likely to make his decision without even knowing who his current club's coach is going to be!

Well, if we do it the way I want to: we won't know until the second week of October...

I'm assuming people would want an answer before then?
 

Well it doesnt fill me with much hope when his uncle told me tonight he and his mum have been looking at houses around sydney. But hey maybe he realised its not the place to live and he just wanted to check it out.

Anyway on another note did anyone see the doggies fans booing Ward today in the dogs, freo game.

Anyway just get the announcement over and done with.

well aren't the whole team batching together at their fancy waterside location? why would tom be looking for a separate dwelling it's not part of the gws program. you have to live with gubby and kev.


I have to say Seeing Callan Ward getting booed by doggie fans is not so good for their club.

At least we are not going to see that headline with Scully this week.

He lucked out with 'soreness' didnt he.

and tomorow is Monday and the new world order rushes in.

So he missed the training this week also and didn't came to club at Friday. Again if Scully did went to Sydney Club would know about it.

In English please!


In the United States they award the Pulitzer Prize for (among other things) achievements in newspaper and online journalism. While I'm not suggesting that Hagdorn's piece doesn't predict what will be the ultimate outcome for Scully and Ward, I think the journalist deserves recognition for his outstanding work from the organisers of this award.

After all, I understand the prize is properly pronounced as "Pull it, sir"

I hope scully and co spend the best part of there career being flogged week in and week out. Dont let the door hit yoru ass on the way out.

Hopefully he shows up for Mad Monday rock solid sober and Nathan Carroll makes a shock return to belt him.

Do you think Tom would have sat down with his team mates and discussed his decision?

Would the thoughts of your team mates be relevant when deciding weather to stay with or leave the team?

I hope he has and I hope the team has, irrespective of what Tom decides.

It's been a tough year for Tom.

I hope he stays.

But if you do go Tom as the great song says

"... keep your eye on the Red and the Blue".


What will be good is when we collectively no longer have to be subjected (or take part) in this myth of Tom Scully being some ultra-competetive, fanatical-training, whiz-kid suprabeing from the planet Krypton, who like Abraham Lincoln never told a lie.

He's a just a talented kid who found himself in a unique professional sporting situation, handled it a bit sloppily, but who nevertheless is going to turn out to be a very good player at AFL level for GW$.

If his knee holds up.

That's it.

Hopefully he shows up for Mad Monday rock solid sober and Nathan Carroll makes a shock return to belt him.

I don't understand why most people on here are hanging it on him like he has left already, nothing has been signed and nothing is official. Give the kid the benefit of doubt atleast until something is made official. If he genuinely hasn't made his mind up, don't you think lousy sentiments like these would be the final straw?

C'mon DeezNutz ... do you really think he's hovering over the GW$ contract with a pen, clicking through Demonland, thinking "well if that's what they think of me .... scribble scribble"! :blink:

So it's between that bunch of crap or what Caroline wilson wrote yesterday.

The answer thus far is...The journalists have no idea and are just writing articles to pay themselves...

I am backing the club, and most of them seem to be confident Tom will stay.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
