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).

I would be very surprised if we have any cap space in 2017.

I dont think scully would want to come back and play second fiddle to Jack viney.

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

Who?

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.

No.

Richmond are the biggest threat.

hangon agent 007 !

Richmond are the biggest threat.

Haha! Of course they are, it was a done deal...

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

I honestly couldn't be bothered.

i'd rather stick hot iron rods through my eyes and ears, then have that money grabbing traitor come back to melb.....nothing would ever make me not buy a membership except for that scenario

I wont care after our second flag.

But HE might...!

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

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

"only on certain conditions dear, mine."

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.

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.
