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.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
