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.

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

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.

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.

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.”

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
