Phil Scully offered GWS gig in November 2010!

Recommended Posts

A couple of words of warning:

  • the mods have made it clear that no fat jokes about Phil Scully are allowed as they are in bad taste (pity because I heard a beauty and I have to respect the majority ruling on this);

  • this thread might be locked once the new revelations from Michael Warner are published this evening (the no fat jokes about Phil Scully rule will continue to apply until the mods rule otherwise or he loses 25kg, whichever shall be the sooner).

You could have added another alternative after the part about losing 25kg - "or until hell freezes over"

We are about to see the classic reporter slow drip where a little leak becomes a flood.

I venture tomorrow will be the document showing he signed on x date.

I bet he is regretting the whole I am misunderstood and been wronged line fed to the media recently.

Why he didn't just say "too much money for a young bloke to say no to", most would understand that even if they didn't like it.

Plenty to follow I bet, its clear there are many unhappy campers around the whole GWS situation.

Any news on this or can anyone elaborate?

For those interested.....

If this really blows tomorrow, it will be interesting to see if the MFC make a comment....Considering the AFL was answering the phone on behalf of GW$ yesterday...

This is right outside the boundry of ethics....2 First round picks do not add up to a number one pick.

I think we'll remain silent on this one but I think we knew all about it a long time ago. Someone from the club would have spoken extensively to Schwarz about his three sources. No need to say anything but we must make it absolutely clear on the field how the club feels.

Just listened to that - was Ox sneakily implying at the end that he knew what Warner is sitting on for tomorrow's Hun?

i think so...could it be the Ox was interviewed by Warner for the same article???

Whomever it is GW$ deserve to cop a pasting over all this...as do the AFL....oh that's right they are one & the same!

I still recall that quote of the Fat Controller when he said that "Melbourne can keep Tom $cully if they pay him the right money"....No we could not Andrew & you know it.

Andrew of course would be on holidays right now....knowing this dirt would surface.

There is no chance that the brat will play us next season. If he does i'll be highly surprised.

I propose instead of booing this prat. 20K plus MFC supporters stand up and turn their back on these flogs from GWS

when they run out onto our hallowed turf. These cretins aren't fit for existence let alone recognition.

The symbolism would be perfect.

i would also love to see 40,000 supporters throw Monopoly money whenever GW$ play in victoria, particularly the Demons at the 'G.

I agree it is highly unlikely $cully will play against us in Melbourne....Bring on Tomorrow.

if you haven't listened to that SEN audio, do yourself a favour - the Ox with his MFC badge firmly fixed on, letting it known how he feels about the situation. Good on him.

if there is a shizenstorm tomorrow, does anyone think it is possible an outcome could be reached where we end up squeezing a little bit more out of the compo situation?

ps there is no way in hell the gutless one will be anywhere near the MCG in round 13. While his 'club' is being eviscerated he'll be riding around blacktown in a limo drinking non-alchoholic wine while big daddy-o takes care of a 20 pack of McNuggets.

That "Junior Tour" to South Africa got my attention and may well provide the clue - Hangin' out for that Michael Warner article .

Not sure, but people are making comparisons to us with Jeff White over on BF, and the granting of a top draft pick to make up for the blatant cheating as Freo received. Doubt it'd happen though.

AFL way, way too compromised. Need an independent panel to investigate this, but who the hell is independent right now?

Can't remember the exact circumstances over what we did wrong in the Jeff White deal ( someone will know ) but ................it seems we lost our 1st pick ( no.5 ) in the 1999 National draft - Fremantle received this pick and used it to attain Leigh Brown .

So in some ways the precedent has been set .

Perhaps a retired judge that had no affiliation with the AFL or any other football club involved.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
