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......")

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

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

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
