Away game vs. GWS next year

[asco86 9]

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

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

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

[Striker475 696]

I'd love to outnumber them and give him hell in Sydney.

[DEELIRIOUS 156]

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!

[DEELIRIOUS 156]

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.

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.

[asco86 9]
