SCULLY CONTINUES TO DENY GWS MOVE

At the Greater Western Sydney press-conference held yesterday to announce his signing, new recruit Tom Scully continued to deny that he had a made a final decision about his playing future.

“No, I haven’t signed – I’m just up here to have a look” declared Scully as he posed for a promotional photo in his new kit with coach Kevin Sheedy.

Funny that - because Kevin Sheedy said to a stack of my mates on the Friday before the Monday (on which Scully allegedly 'made' his decision) that GWS would be announcing at midday on Monday that Scully had joined GWS. And guess what - that's exactly what happened.

Scully has no credibility in relation to this. I hope that even the Scully cheerleaders on this site now recognise this.

Doesn't necessarily make Scully the liar. Maybe it was the coach who was telling porkies at the time and he got lucky.

Maybe his minders made the decision 12 months early but forgot to tell young Huckleberry... and he thought he did this all by himself? Tsk Tsk.

There is only one Scully.

She's a redhead, and an FBI agent...

Nice one RPFC!

As I recall, Agent Scully was a sceptic who did not believe in aliens. If Traitor $cully tows agent Scully's line then he is in for a hard time staying on good side of Coach Sheedy who speaks with aliens regularly!

Scully? Do you mean the two first round draft picks plus jack viney plus salary cap room for pendlebury at the end of 2012? Oh yeah, pity

If Scully averages 25 possessions next year and plays all 22 games he will earn in excess of $3,600 per possession.

I think we can do better than that with our money.

All the things you mentioned are icing on the cake for us.

A little bird told me that Mr. Scully Senior sold his business and now has a role working for the Sydney Swans in the development of junior talent but will soon switch to a similar role with another club located not far away from the Swans.

The little bird told me that this was all done some time ago which might mean the decision was made well before the family went up to Sydney just "to have a look around". In fact it's very possible according to the Chinese whisperers that fat Phil's new job is the steak knives to the deal which was hatched up almost a year ago.

Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.

To be honest Id rather not see any more Scully threads on here, had a gut full of hearing about him.

I just don't understand this place sometimes. People get upset when their posts are deleted because they make crass references to Cale Morton being soft in the name of "humour", then whinge when someone posts something that is obviously harmless satire. My senseofhumourometer must be calibrated differently to everyone else, because I found the article pretty funny.

From the White Maggot, just for something funny......

Scully continues to deny GWS-move at press conference announcing signing

September 13, 2011 by The White Maggot

"I have not made a decision yet"

At the Greater Western Sydney press-conference held yesterday to announce his signing, new recruit Tom Scully continued to deny that he had a made a final decision about his playing future.“No, I haven’t signed – I’m just up here to have a look” declared Scully as he posed for a promotional photo in his new kit with coach Kevin Sheedy.

When passed a message from his manager scribbled on the back of a freshly minted $100 note informing him that the jig was up, Scully recanted. “I saw this as an opportunity to come up here to be part of a brand new football club with the best financial planning facilities in the country.”

Scully had been in Sydney, the home of the ASX and Australia’s funds management industry, visiting GWS’ facilities on Sunday with a touring party consisting of his family and other key advisers including Chris Judd, Gary Ablett, Nathan Bock and Judas Iscariot.

Scully also took the opportunity to dismiss suggestions that the drawn out saga was a charade, manufactured by his management to give the impression that he was still weighing up his decision. “That’s completely unfair. That’s not what I, nor my management had ever intended. We always saw the process as more of a farce or sham.”

hehe there's some great material on that white maggott website, i like this one too

"In a public relations coup for the largely irrelevant organisation, the North Melbourne Football Club was named Australia’s leading not-for-profit organisation at the annual SHUNPROFIT awards overnight.

The Kangaroos beat home The Smith Family, MS Australia, World Vision and a raft of community-based West African NGO’s to take out the coveted prize.

Club president James Brayshaw said the award recognised North Melbourne’s steadfast commitment to maintaining a steadily increasing and unsustainable defecit for the past thirty years.

“No other club could’ve operated under these conditions” Brayshaw said as stared at the black hole which doubles as the club’s balance sheet. “And I’m not speaking out of pride… we haven’t been a going concern since 1997… legally, no other club could’ve operated under these conditions… we’ve just somehow slipped through the cracks.”

Brayshaw, who earlier this year was investigated by ASIC after he attempted to treat the “shinboner spirit” as an intangible asset for the purposes of the club’s financial reports, then took the opporunity to launch the Kangaroos’ innovative 2012 funding campaign.

“I’m proud to announce that from 2012 the North Melbourne Football Club will be treated as a charity for the purposes of the Income Tax Assessment Act” Brayshaw said. “It’s only fair given we’ve fed, clothed and sheltered Nathan Grima and Scott Thompson all these years.”

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
