"I was a second-year player and I couldn't work out why everyone was constantly talking about me, instead of other players."

Really?

Forget the knee.

It's keeping his foot out of his mouth that's going to be the main problem.

"It would have been incredibly difficult to leave if we were playing well and playing finals footy. I knew the list was in a good place, but I wasn't sure where the club was at back then."

As opposed to knowing where GWS are at? and they are going to play finals?

What a crock of sh#t. I am so over this bloke.

Why doesn't he just say "The money was too good to refuse" We all know it, and most would just say fair enough. All of this dribble coming out of his mouth just makes him look like a [censored].

Or even better still, why doesn't he just shut up and say nothing at all.

Satan- Nice thread title by the way. funny that I knew exactly what it was about before even looking.

The latest story seems to confirm Dr. Larkins' analysis of Scully's knee issues i.e he will need to manage the stress and load of his work to avoid serious problems flaring up. He's following precisely the required formula to control the situation - which is exactly what one would expect from Scully who is known for the meticulous way he prepares himself.

My suggestion to Tom is to STFU.

Now that he has been revealed as a money-chasing traitor and is playing for an irrelevant club, nobody gives a crap what he has to say anymore.

Funny how the "turmoil" affected no one but him. Lying pathetic scumbag.

Cannot wait to see our boys smash him in round 13. Might give him some real turmoil to deal with

It's just like some posters predicted in the beginning (not naming any names).

Gubby Allen created an environment / situation where the frenzy of panic merchant dees supporters drove him from the club.

I think you're giving Allen too much credit. He just waved a big fat cheque book. Money is the elephant in the room when $cully starts waffling about "playing finals", "building a club", "opportunity" and being "courageous" (I can't believe he said that about himself!). He will continue to colour it the way he needs to but his Dad's appointment was the exclamation mark on his and his families real motivation.

Perhaps this is best seen as advice from one princess to another: "You needn't worry about your reward.

If money is all that you love, then that's what you'll receive"

And again..."Your friend is quite the mercenary. I wonder if he really cares about anything. Or anybody."

Sweet Leia, tom cares about himself and he' daddy.

''I'm only young and I'm going to be looking to our older guys for guidance, but most of the players here are new to the system and are looking to find out how to train or how to set standards,'' he said. ''I enjoy that, and I do want to be a leader. That was part of the challenge of coming up here and we're only a few days into pre-season but I'm enjoying it already and I do want to fast track my leadership skills."

Hmmm... Considering that character and integrity are at the core of LEADERSHIP, you have got a long, long way to go.

What a drip.

Ed: oh, and honesty too.... :mellow:

There's a similar fluff piece in The Age today written by Emma Quayle who churned out a surprisingly poor article with the same tired cliches.

In it he describes his choice to move to GWS as 'the courageous' one; and if chasing a football around for $1 million dollars per year is courageous, I think I could be courageous too.

The Gruen Planet should do a feature on the TS brand. It's been as poorly managed as it possibly could be.

Love the random Star Wars reference!

I don't feel sorry for him, but it was definitely wrong for GWS to go after Tom. The pressure placed on the kid in just his second would no doubt have made 2011 a bloody tough year for him, but he has made his decision and he'll live with it for the rest of his career.

And he'll have to get used to the scruitiny because until he starts returning on the GWS investment he will always be under the microscope.

""I didn't know sort of where the club was at . . . all that crazy stuff going on when Dean got sacked, it put a bit of uncertainty in the minds of the players,"

Yep clearly it did, and it justifies you leaving Thomas. Let's try and forget that Jack Trengove made a statement at the same point of the year and signed a long-term deal.

"Scully admits he knew of the GWS offer through his management company early in the piece but is steadfast in his denials a decision was made before the end of the season, as many have claimed." - Quote from Interview in Herald Sun today.

Now remind me what he said in his press conference about not knowing anything about an offer either through his management, dad , or anyone.

This is the part I don't like about the whole saga. As Jimmy said, this will turn young kids into liars and it has.

All that crazy stuff like the two senior executives at GW$ getting the flick in a month or so? That must be worrying for him. The fact his father was negotiating behind the back of the Swans shows they are cut from the same cloth.

Anyone on here still willing to suggest that he didn't lie and that he didn't know what the offer was and where he was going many months before he left?

Me, I reckon we're better off without him, I must say I never felt comfortable with him at the club as opposed to Watts and Trenners, I reckon they'll be there their whole careers and both seem to have impeccable integrity and character as opposed to the $nake who appears to have neither of those qualities.

It would appear that he is where he should be amongst the dregs of the AFL (Junior excluded) and will go down in history as the most overpaid flop in the competition. I look forward to the time when the recruits of 2011 start to abandon them and return to honest clubs.

Geez I am so glad that this divisive, vain, conceited, confused, hypocritical mercenary is no longer at our club.

The instability abetted by his antics over 2011 stuffed up any opportunity we may have had to progress.

GOODBYE!!

The "I believe in Tom" crowd must SURELY be coming around the the fact that he signed long ago now. Surely.

Surely?

We don't know if he lied in that presser.

I do know that his character is not what I thought it was. I will say that.

He would say that uncertainty at the club led to his decision to leave - that may be. He says that it was the braver decision to leave - that may be.

But Trengove wasn't rattled by the uncertainty and was brave in his decision to sign on until 2015.

I think it is time to move past this little simpleton and his unscrupulous family.

    2024 Player Reviews: #35 Harry Petty

    Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level.

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.

    The son of former Demon Brownlow Medalist Shane, Taj added a further 16 games to his overall tally of games but a number were as substitute. He is slowly fitting into the team structure but without doing anything spectacular and needs to take further steps forward in 2025 for his career to progress.

    Bowey’s season was curtailed early when he sustained a shoulder injury that required surgery in the opening game against Sydney. As a consequence, he was never able to perform consistently or at anywhere near his previous levels.  Date of Birth: 12 September 2002 Height: 175cm Games MFC 2024: 14 Career Total: 61 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total: 6

    SLIP SLIDING AWAY by Meggs

    It was a sweaty, slippery night at Cazalys Stadium, a tough slog with low scoring and missed opportunities.  The Hokball Hawks hung on to win by a goal and sit second on the ladder, relegating the disappointed Demons to, almost certainly, finals spectators.   We had to win this match. When news broke of late withdrawals of talisman Kate Hore and key back Gaby Colvin, expectations plummeted, and Demon fans despaired.  The bad news was the signature song of 2024, a season that’s
