Tom Scully wants to be Giant for life!

[beelzebub 23,370]

who ?

[Sir Why You Little 37,035]

Tom $cully wishes to remain Rich all his life...The source of this income is quite obviously of small concern.

March 5 Tom....Do you think we have just forgotten about that whole statement?

I hope you're not expecting a reply from him.

He'll certainly be known as something in particular for life, but I'm not quite sure it's a Giant.

He'll be known as a giant something, all right.

[monoccular 17,428]

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

Obviously he has a very short memory, or maybe thinks the rest of the world cannot remember back to his declaration of loyalty made ias recently as March 2011.

I am just $0 glad that our club didn't waste money trying to outbid GW$ for the services of this disloyal mercenary little hypocrite - one wonders what his story will be in another $ix month$, especially after putting up with the antics of senile old Kev.

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?

........... try the first 8 or so seconds of this.....

The crowd mix look a bit like what he will expect in Sydney's west as well, though there are probably more in the clip than they will get to most games out there.

And then, don't forget his mother too - by the sounds of it they will want to offer her a job too!

I got the most enjoyment reading the comments section to the article in the OP. Good to see that the football public isn't fooled by the BS spin about being a Giant for life.

They say that money can't buy you a good name and this sad saga proves it.

[DemonOX 8,791]

Its amazing just how easy the dribble flows from scummy. Me thinks he is a natural at it.

We all know he has had plenty of practice at it obviously.

[Jesse Christ 2,884]

Adorable. He wants to be like his old man. Lol.

I heard him say something about wanting to be a one club player with us too.. pish posh whatevef.

[Hulett Packard III 166]

I like the fact that the title to the article refers to the term of his footballing life. It reminds me of the thieves and liars who were sent out here for the terms of their natural lives.

So if I were to raise them as zombies for use in my genesis device, they will be able to return to England, having just been granted a term of unnatural life?

Excellent. It's all falling into place now.

The trouble with inventing a football club in an area that has no real association with our game and among people who have no real affinity with it, is that it becomes necessary for people to invent (or reinvent) history as well.

Sheedy: "People who really wrote the rules of the AFL, Tom Wills and Henry Harrison, they come from outer western Sydney, they come from out of this area, they were born here, they come from Parramatta and they went down to Melbourne and they created the rules of the AFL."

Really?

Well, let's test that statement. 

Suburban Paramatta is 23 km west of Sydney. Blacktown, which is where Sheedy's Giants will be based is a further 11km to the west. Rooty Hill which is culturally and spiritually the home of GWS is even further west.

I do acknowledge that both of the game's founders, Wills and Harrison were born in New South Wales (albeit at a time when the Port Phillip colony was in it's very early stages of establishment). Most of the white folk settled in this country were New South Welshmen back in those days. 

But were they born "out of Paramatta"? 

Well ... no, not exactly there or nearby as Sheedy would have viewers believe.

Wills was born near Gundagai, New South Wales to parents Horatio and Elizabeth, the first of their nine children, in 1835. Gundagai is 390 kilometres (240 mi) south-west of Sydney - it's a long way from where the dog sits on the tucker box near that delightful little town to Sydney and Paramatta. In the late 1830's it was a few day's travel by coach if you had a reason to go there. 

But Tom Wills almost certainly didn't come close and even if he had, there would be no boyhood memories of the place because the family moved to Lexington, a 125,000-acre (510 km2) property in the Ararat District in western Victoria in 1840 and Tom was educated at Scotch College, Melbourne.

H. C. A. Harrison was born at 'Jarvisfield', near Picton, New South Wales, the son of John Harrison and his wife Jane, née Howe. But a year later, the family moved to the Port Phillip District, and took up land on the Plenty River about 20 miles (32 km) from Melbourne. 

Picton is a small town in the Macarthur Region of New South Wales, in the Wollondilly Shire. The town is located 80 kilometres South-west of Sydney, close to Camden and Campbelltown. It's closer to Paramatta than is Gundagai but if you know the area, the route would have been long, circuitous and dangerous in 1836-7, especially if you're carrying a one year old child. After that, the Harrisons lived near Melbourne and long after that - more than two decades later - the first rules of the game were created.

And so ... yet another GWS fiction is exposed. 

How fitting is it that this lie is the cornerstone of this club's first promotional video?

So now they created Australian Football rules?

Give me a break?

GWS officially the most hatred team in AFL

[gsmith12 491]

Meaningless tripe from an insincere, money hungry individual. TS deserves a little bad karma.

[monoccular 17,428]

So senile old $heedy has as much credibility as does young (and the elder for that matter) $cully, and in fact anyone who has anything to do with GW$. Now that is no surprise.

A pack of lies, presumably promoted by Vlad either knowingly as lies, or at very best not doing due diligence. I guess he never expected someone to actually show the resourcefulness of Whispering Jack and actually research it.

Jack- are you some sort of attorney? Well done.

What an absolute [censored] - but in fairness I sm sure he didn't write the script, as that would suggest some degree of literacy, but clearly ("he come from......") he tweaked the grammar himself.

PS: Jack - will you be forwarding your well researched post to Vlad - he really needs to know that he has been caught out!

Good detective work WJ.

When Tom Wills moved to Ararat, did his father get offered a 'special' job to come too?

Very good post .

Wills and Harrison were about 22 and 21 respectively when Aussie Rules first kicked off in 1858 .

Reckon a lot of people associate these 2 with being a lot older ( at the time )

Just a couple of young blokes with an idea . .
