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

"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?

That's it ! He's off to Richmond ! 007 style.

[hardtack 10,984]

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

[daisycutter 29,919]

Made my morning. Haven't had such a laugh.........well since March 5th anyway

[nutbean 8,838]

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

[Retrospective 104]

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

Money talks doesn't it!!

sheedy says is they have a courage for moving (ablett, folou, $cully) so courage is bought im guessing?

[Yoda 33]

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

[Damo 3,446]

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...

[nutbean 8,838]

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

guess we won't - once bitten twice shy

[Tony Tea 2,816]

guess we won't - once bitten twice shy

Precisely.

[Sir Why You Little 37,342]

Maybe he has been chained to the oval so he has no choice....

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?

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

[pantaloons 2,019]

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.

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

[Whispering_Jack 31,301]

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?

[nutbean 8,838]

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

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.

Hate to be blunt but I think have lost your edge with that one.
