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 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.

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.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
