Away game vs. GWS next year

Featured Replies

Posted

I'm probably still just fuming from today's events, but I'd love to show $cully what I think of all this.. I reckon we try and get as many dees supporters as possible to the away game against GWS next year - enough to outnumber the home crowd and really give it to him. Shouldn't be too hard, considering they'll have about 500 in the crowd and none of them will know the rules!!

 

im hoping we have a home game 1st up against them but i really doubt the AFL will let it happen

 

You guys are embarrassing. Explain to me logically why you feel so much hatred for Scully?

I will boo the kid and try to put him off his game to gain an advantage when he eventually comes to play us at the MCG (probably Docklands...), because I feel that is what home fans should do.

It's like appealing to the umpire for a free-kick that probably isn't there: I'm happy for fans to make a noise and put pressure on the ump, but you need to get over it quickly and not be so angry.

Why would Scully show as much loyalty to the club as a supporter would? Fans have a life long investment in the club and have a genuine relationship that will probably last until they die. Scully wasn't a Melbourne fan as a kid and has only spent two years at the club. He's just been offered a huge salary increase and a long term contract that is probably twice as good as any other player of his age would be able to get.

I would find it odd if Scully stayed at Melbourne. It would have been nice, but very unlikely.

Time to grow up and move on. Quickly.

Do the following answer your question?

It's not the fact that he went - I can understand that much money will lure almost any player - it's the fact that he lied about it and even as recently as yesterday claimed he had not made up his mind, yet today he appears in promotional videos for GWS....yeah right

I'm not going to dwell on it and certainly will probably all but forget about him until we are scheduled to play GWS...but then I plan on letting him know exactly why he made the worst decision of his life!

I think it would be much better if Demon fans simply didn't turn up in Sydney for GWS home games. After all, the AFL wants us to watch games on the telly.

On top of that every $ we pump into that club will go towards paying you know who's wages.

I'll be staying away.

But if we don't turn up, who will??

I tend to agree, especially after the "loyalty" shown to James Mcdonald after last year. It is pretty cruel to a 20 year old

 

I want to see the JUDAS man that is Tom Scully get steamrolled and realise what he missed out on! And oh boy when the fixture comes out I will be desperate to attend this one. Oh boy, this is gonna be some game, regardless of the venue, Scully vs Melbourne!


But then again it will be a 2,000 strong crowd at Skoda Park, the three people in Blacktown who know what AFL is and the other 1,997 dees supporters who rock up. BRING ON 2012!

I tend to agree.

I feel like today's events have set off the beginnings of a brand new AFL rivalry. As horrible as today was, the idea of the oldest team and the comp and the newest being bitter rivals is quite romantic indeed.

yes.. i agree.. however i would sayt its 1-nil GWS favour

I would like to see Trenner to run through $cully after the first bounce.

I'm kind of numbed by the whole sorry saga. I'd much rather focus any anger on the evil empire in AFL House for allowing (assisting??) this abduction to happen.

For those who want to see retribution against Scully, I don't think you need to worry about it being an MFC player who delivers the message. I reckon every AFL player who is paid less than Tom will want to prove themselves up against him. I feel sorry for Tom that this GWS/AFL poaching scenario will make him a prime target on the field - in every game he plays.

Don't feel sorry for Tom, he made his bed...... and the mattress is stuffed with cash!!

^^^This^^^ The poor little Karmichael Hunt is going to cop it from all sides...His choice yes, But the Best will be kept for the MFC of course...

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

    It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

    The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

    The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

    Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    Following an injury-interrupted start to the season, McVee struggled to maintain the standard he established in 2025 as he pursued an expanded role within the team structure. He remained a firm fan favourite and the club had hoped to negotiate a new contract with the former rookie selection from Western Australia, whose partner, Lily Johnson, plays for Melbourne's AFLW side. Those hopes were dashed when he expressed his desire to return to his home state and play for Fremantle. Like all players who have worn the red and blue and are leaving this year, we wish him well in the future.
