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! :P

I'm in the last category fwiw.

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......")

Posted

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

Posted

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.

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).

Off trying to write up 27 other posts in the Tom Scully thread before 2pm...

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.

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

"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!

Posted

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'.

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    PODCAST: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    Join us LIVE on Monday night at 8:30pm—note that this special time is just for this week due to prior commitments. We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits. I apologize for skipping our annual season review show at the end of last season. After a disapponting season filled with off-field antics and a heated trade week, I needed a break. Thankfully, the offseason has recharged me, and I’m back—ready t

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
