I dont blame Tom, good luck to the kid! Its a blessing in disguise for us I believe as his knees are an on-going corcern.

Yes he lied, but the system in place doesnt leave many options.

In hindsight, he probably shouldve been more a man like Phil Davies, but choose another route and obviously his

his character has and will remain to be tarnished due to the path Scully chose to take.

On the upside, we have Clark - who fits more of a need than Scully, as we can replace Scully with Viney

and we still have a couple of compos to play with.

Let's rehash all these conversations again! :headdesk:

Unfortunately Tom appeared to fill the deep need MFC for have for a true champion, and like women scorned* we despise his betrayal more for the hopes we had invested in him.

So I figure this Monty Python clip best describes Tom in my eyes "

I thought Tom with his elite endurance would be the biggest benefit from the new subsitution rule. Now it seems he will have to manage a 'dicky knee' for the rest of his career; potentially taking away his best attribute.

His first game of the year was amazing in that he was AFL pace straight away with pretty much no fitness base. I think that the player like a KPP or an explosive forward can carry a knee like Tom has, but for a midfielder I have doubts that we will ever see his best.

Haha!! Brilliant film. Now Tom can be the new messiah of Blacktown...how exciting....

May very well have done us a favour. We wouldn't have had a shot at Clark if he stayed and If we use those picks wisely we could come out well ahead.

I still hope his leg falls off.

And that's that folks.

Since we started the Player Review series, we've always "pinned" the particular player's review on top of our pages for a few days to honour his contribution to the club and to keep the focus on the player in question for a few more days and then unpinned the thread to allow others to go up instead. Even did it with Brock McLean when he went to Carlton and declared the drive to Casey for training was too much for him. At least he gave of himself to the club (and more when he donated to the Debt Demolition).

However, in the case of Scully, we've decided that he's has had enough exposure on Demonland.

Goodbye Tom or Ned or whoever you are. This thread is locked by popular acclaim and it won't be pinned.
