Harcourt 146 Posted November 4, 2011 Posted November 4, 2011 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?
H_T 3,049 Posted November 4, 2011 Posted November 4, 2011 That's it ! He's off to Richmond ! 007 style.
hardtack 11,106 Posted November 4, 2011 Posted November 4, 2011 Maybe he's just had an update on his knee condition?
daisycutter 30,006 Posted November 4, 2011 Posted November 4, 2011 Made my morning. Haven't had such a laugh.........well since March 5th anyway
nutbean 8,838 Posted November 4, 2011 Posted November 4, 2011 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 Posted November 4, 2011 Posted November 4, 2011 Playing as the big name in that debacle of a club should ensure 6 years seems like life....especially on one leg.
DemonDing 56 Posted November 4, 2011 Posted November 4, 2011 sheedy says is they have a courage for moving (ablett, folou, $cully) so courage is bought im guessing?
Yoda 33 Posted November 4, 2011 Posted November 4, 2011 When I read the thread title I thought it was referring to Phil, then thought 'he won't have a problem there.'
Damo 3,464 Posted November 4, 2011 Posted November 4, 2011 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.
Tony Tea 2,816 Posted November 4, 2011 Posted November 4, 2011 Guess we'll have to take Tom at his word...
nutbean 8,838 Posted November 4, 2011 Posted November 4, 2011 Guess we'll have to take Tom at his word... guess we won't - once bitten twice shy
Tony Tea 2,816 Posted November 4, 2011 Posted November 4, 2011 guess we won't - once bitten twice shy Precisely.
Sir Why You Little 37,450 Posted November 4, 2011 Posted November 4, 2011 Maybe he has been chained to the oval so he has no choice....
reynolds46 1,310 Posted November 4, 2011 Posted November 4, 2011 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.

Striker475 696 Posted November 4, 2011 Posted November 4, 2011 Too late Tom, you can't be a Giant for life, you've already been a Demon!
pantaloons 2,019 Posted November 4, 2011 Posted November 4, 2011 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.
Disco Demons 92 Posted November 4, 2011 Posted November 4, 2011 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
Whispering_Jack 31,365 Posted November 4, 2011 Posted November 4, 2011 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 Posted November 4, 2011 Posted November 4, 2011 "the last five moves have been difficult so I think I will be a Wellington Whopper for life"
H_T 3,049 Posted November 4, 2011 Posted November 4, 2011 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.
hardtack 11,106 Posted November 4, 2011 Posted November 4, 2011 haha...tom is making cash for comment now! what a joke 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.
