Tom Scully wants to be a GWS Giant for the term of his footballing life

:lol:

"I know my future's here and I anticipate I'll be here for the rest of my career."

March 5th:

He also said he loved the idea of being a one-club player, which he anticipated would be the case.

"I love the club, I love my teammates and I want to be part of the future going ahead at the Melbourne Football Club," he said.

He's not a very good boy is he?

    Maybe he's just had an update on his knee condition?

    I believed it the first time he said it - but I am not stupid enough to fall for that "one club player" crap a second time.

    Tom - better to say nothing and have people think you are liar and money grabber, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt

    Playing as the big name in that debacle of a club should ensure 6 years seems like life....especially on one leg.

    When I read the thread title I thought it was referring to Phil, then thought 'he won't have a problem there.'

    After his dad got the $200K on top of Toms $6million, my view changed to believe GWS added his dad into the mix to get him over the line.

    Which I interpret as they really had to throw everything at him in the end. I then lost a lot of my blind fury believing it was a real struggle for him.

    Or maybe Im losing my edge....thats possible too.

    Guess we'll have to take Tom at his word...

    guess we won't - once bitten twice shy

    I think he was truthful in that the MFC will be the only football club he plays for throughout his career as GWS doesn't constitute a Club, but a manufactured money wasting franchise that will never encompass the traditions and soul of a Football Club.

    or maybe he means his knee is @#%$ed and he will never play for gws?

    Things have really gone a bit quiet since the conclusion of trade week. All he's really said in this article is that hopefully he gets to play for GWS for a long time. It's not really newsworthy and he's hardly going to come out and say "I'll be here playing with these stooges until someone offers me and my old man more money". Not many people will be digging up his quotes six years later when he signs with another club.

    I look forward to not reading about him on Demonland in the near future, and only having to think about him when I boo him at the G once a year.

    Too late Tom, you can't be a Giant for life, you've already been a Demon!

    haha...tom is making cash for comment now! what a joke

    "the last five moves have been difficult so I think I will be a Wellington Whopper for life"

  • Quote

    If the mugs keep shelling out $1m a year, why not?

    On the other hand, if the Wellington Whoppers offer him $3.5m a year in 2017 then why not fly across the Tasman just to have a look around?

    The Launceston Lyrebirds will be worth a look at too.

    To be fair, it was actually: Scully said: "I know my future's here and I anticipate I'll be here for the rest of my career."

    You can blame the journo for the "Giant for life" comment.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
