Well that rubbish nearly made me vomit. I'm just glad that Fox Sports cut it short and I didn't have to listen to Sheedy talking [censored]. I love how when he was asked when he came to the decision, his response was along the lines of - well, as I said, I just came up here yesterdy, and I've now signed with GW$. Bollocks! He actually couldn't even say, yesterday, or this morning or last week.

He dodged the "when did you decide to leave question" and the nuff nuff reporter didn't even try and get a straight answer from him.

correct......he answered " i just signed the contract today" but that wasn't the question Tom. His answer was deceptive, and for anyone still wondering if he is a liar, they should have no doubts now.

I actually believe him, that he didnt meet them until post season, and he didnt decide till post season, just as he said at the start of the year. No reason not to believe that.

It is just for the money - he's leaving finals opportunity and family and friends.

But lets look at some recent losses

Bruce - can't get a game at Hawks

Brock - can't get a game at Carlton, wouldnt have got a game at Mwelbourne, and got great draft swap.

Scully - chronic injuries, may not even make 6 weeks let alone 6 years and look at the compo we will get!

On top of their poor form generally GWS announced this presser which conflicted with one for Adam Goodes on his 300th game.

Goodes is a real star of the game who has quietly gone about doing a lot of work in the community.

Very very poor form from GWS.

I think we should put Jordan McMahon in Demonland Hall of Fame?

Because if not for him we would have lost scully and not have Trengove

Not the most accurate call.

If we won that game, Richmond would've had the first pick and chosen Scully, we'd have still received Trengove with pick 2, and we wouldn't be getting any compensation picks.

So he still did us a favour, but it's a choice between getting Scully compensation and no Scully compensation, not Trengove and no Trengove.

Considering we might be able to use it in a "super draft" or to get this O'Meara kid, it's still worth quite a bit.

Arrrggghhhh!!! :mad:

I'm very angry at this! Tom Scully went for the money $$$$ it's plain and simple!

All I can say is that the Melbourne Football Club better scream and yell at the AFL to make sure that we get compensation picks to make up for losing our number 1# draft pick from 2009!

We deserve at least two top 10 draft picks just like Geelong got for losing Gary Ablett Junior!

The Melbourne Football Club needs to stand up to the AFL and let them know that we will NOT be screwed over!

    DERAILMENT by KC from Casey

    It wasn’t quite a trainwreck although at times, it sure looked like one, so I’ll settle for “derailment”.  The trip to Brighton Homes Arena in Springfield outside the back of Brisbane might not exactly be the same place where Homer Simpson’s family resides but, if you listened closely to the utterances of the Casey Demons fans both at the ground or watching via livestream, you could hear lots of groaning and plenty of expressions of “D'oh!” reverberating in the background, particular

    TEN YEARS AFTER by Whispering Jack

    Things have changed in the more than ten years since the West Coast Eagles decimated Melbourne by 93 points on the MCG early in the 2014 season. The two sides had not met at the home of football in the interim until yesterday when Melbourne won by a comfortable 54 points to remain in contention for this year’s finals series. Back in those days, the Demons were in the midst of their Great Depression but they have since tasted premiership glory and experienced a long enough period among

    PREGAME: Rd 18 vs Essendon

    The Demons are back at the MCG once again and will once again be fighting for a spot in the Top 8 as they come face to face with Bombers on Saturday night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
