If Tom Scully is in the best 10 footballers in the country and wants to return to Melbourne FC after concluding his contract with GWS, would you take him?

Given the amount of vitriol already on this site directed toward him, I suspect it will be difficult for many posters to say "yes". In which case, I hope those same posters are not actually working in our List Management area in 2016. Emotion is great when watching from the grandstand, but it's not so helpful when making business decisions.

(If his contract with GWS is for 6 years, please feel free to read 2016 as 2017).

    Tom Scully coming back to us? No thanks, and may his career be plagued with knee complications!

    No. I'd rather we chased somebody that wasn't a lying soulless robot.

    Sure i would take him. As long as he puts in 100% next time, which he clearly didn't during 2011. That contract would be on our terms.

    I thought about this possibility when he first defected. I considered then how I felt (very pi$$ed off) and how I would feel every year thereafter. His depature and the way it transpired will have less and less significance for me personally, every year that passes by.

    When we start winning consistantly and hopefully getting premiership success, the team should have a fair portion of the ten best footballers in the country anyway and we'll not need to recruit that type of player.

    IF and a might big if that would be, $kullky would be in the top 10 at the end of his 6 year stint, there is no club in the comp that could afford him.

    The $6M boy certainly wouldn't go anywhere for less money unless he has a Bionic Knee thrown in.

    He may WANT to be out of the GWS rabble after 6 years so be prepared to take a signifigant cut. I mean he should have wisely invested by then, money shouldn't be top priority, unless he has blown it all, but i doubt that. His knee physio would be costly though after 8 seasons. The contract would be on MFC Terms.

    Scully left Melbourne for the $$$ and then will return to play for his beloved Tigers. Lock it in!

    GWS aren't our best mate. And maybe one day we'll take a couple of their kids.

    It'd be like taking the wife back after she slept with your best mate.

    Only as a mature age rookie.

    I would be happy for him to return. He can carry the oranges. I'm sure that there is lots of things that he can do around the club.

  • Quote

    His knees will be shot by then. Not saying so as sour grapes , I just think he wont last the distance as anything useful.

    We wont need him anyway.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
