I felt this didn't belong in the Scully thread, since it is about posters and not Scully, so I hope I don't get shot for posting this slightly tongue-in-cheek request:

With THE announcement looming could someone with a lot of time on their hands please make up a table listing the names of those who have been

• adamant that Scully is going,
  
• those of the above who say say so based on some inside info they have
  
• those adamant he is staying
  
• those who have posted 'don't know' statements.
  

This will help me evaluate whom to believe when we go through all this next year....

Which category do you fit in to Sue - it will help me evaluate your future posts!

I'm in the last category fwiw.

latter category for me.

Not sure anybody will take your offer up.

Probably a pointless exercise anyway. It is a 50/50 call, so it is quite easy to be right even if it was a blind guess.

I could have said that I know Tom personally and that he informed me he will be leaving at the start of year. Thus, if he does leave, I would be considered a person who you will believe next year when in fact I was talking out of my arse.

Don't trust any journalist anyway, that is the easy option.

It's a bit like betting Red or Black on roulette, until bloody 0 Green comes up!

I'm 98% sure that 100% of the people on this site have absolutely no idea if he is staying or going.

Firmly entrenched in the last category. Believing no one except the three major players - Scully, MFC, GWS - none of have said he staying or going ( and I firmly discount "sources close to......")

In the last. no idea, not sure anyone does bar Tom

In the last. no idea, not sure anyone does bar Tom

Perhaps he doesn't even know

I'm still in the gutfeel will stay, open to this possibility he may go, but I don't buy into the tinfoil hat conspiracies

I'm firmly in the don't know category

I believe he is staying, for no reason other then i have to believe.

I'm don't know. Firmly so.

Dont know but I would love to get evens, I reckon he was gone last year.

Hey Sue, I think I've been in all your categories. Kind of depends on the time of day/week, how we played the week before, my emotional state, how much i've drunk, who I've been hanging around with...

Been quite exhausting really.

Sorry not to clear that up for you.

Go Dees

There's too many shades of grey.

I believe he is yet to decide.

In the end I hope he stays, and I think he will, but I'm far from adamant.

If there is a column titled 'NFI' I would be placed under that.

Good luck to the person who has enough time to do that..

Hang on, where's Crackers Keenan???

Last category for me; I'm a firm believer in the old "innocent until proven guilty" axiom (would hate to be judged by a jury comprising certain of my peers from Demonland).

Gold!

Everyone on here is actually in the "don't know" category.

I think he'll stay, that's just an opinion based on nothing but what I'd do.

I'll let you know by the end of the week.

got a good laugh outta these.....

Ummm, i'm in the effed if i now catergory about Tom, but want him to stay

I want him to stay and honor the # 31 we gave him

[*]adamant that Scully is going,

I'm guess I'm in the above category.

"I believed" until about 6 weeks ago. Scully is going. Does anyone seriously believe he is going to go up to GWS, check out the facilities then announce "these are crap, I'm staying at Melbourne". The whole thing has become totally BORING. TS, deliver your verdict, ASAP!

Not so much adamant but let's say 'believing' he's well and truly gone. Based on the thinking there could and should be nothing to have prevented him signing, if not a time ago then certainly when offers were on the table. The onle real logic backing a delay is to facilitate a move north. That's the most probable outcome , i.e. He's gone

"please make up a table"?

Huh? Do your own homework Sue. Talk about lazy or just being mischievious.

I'm making a table up right about now. It's called 'dinner'.
