Phil Scully offered GWS gig in November 2010!

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.

    MORE FIERCE by Meggs

    We’re back!  Winning the last three matches has recaptured our Demon spirit and, with superstar players returning from rehab, our Season 2024 dreams are not over yet.   So come along 5.05 pm Saturday afternoon to watch this Round 9 ladder-defining match at the Field of Dreams. Expect the Tigers to be fierce, but surely the Demons will be more fierce. Playing conditions are expected to be a dry 15 degrees with a typically gusty Cranbourne wind. The media opprobrium of the ill-consi

    IN FRONT by Meggs

    In this must-win clash between Melbourne 11th on the ladder and St Kilda 8th, it was the Demons who were in front all day to win in a hard-fought Round 8 clash to make it three in a row to keep theit slim finals chances alive. A good crowd of enthusiastic footy families for week 2 of Pride Round had gathered.  The full pews in the well-appointed RSEA Park grandstand provided excellent viewing.   The Saints won the toss and elected to kick to the southern end favoured by a strong 2-3 g

    THE TRADING CHRONICLES 02

    Part 2: Watching grass grow by Whispering Jack Critics of test cricket (and I’m not one of them) will often claim the sport is excruciatingly boring: that following a five day match is much like watching grass grow. However, the longest form of that game has nothing on the first week of the AFL trade period when it comes to inducing sleep among those in the football public who follows this process in its somnolent moments. The week gone by has been no exception. Only two player trades

    THE CAVALRY ARRIVES by Meggs

    The injury plague which has beset the Demons 2024 campaign is finally starting to dissipate and with consecutive wins over GWS Giants and a 2-point nail-biter in Adelade, a sense of optimism is rising.  Some commentators are now asking whether the Dees can make finals? A huge surprise with team selection this week when it was announced that champs Olivia Purcell, Paxy Paxman and Eden Zanker would play.   Hallelujah!  The cavalry has arrived. St Kilda missed the finals last season on pe

    GOLDIE'S METTLE by Meggs

    On a perfect night for football at the home of the Redlegs, Norwood Oval, it was the visiting underdogs Melbourne who led all night and hung on to prevail in a 2-point nail-biter. In the previous round St Kilda had made it a tough physical game to help restrict Adelaide from scoring and so Mick Stinear set a similar strategy for his team. To win it would require every player to do their bit on the field plus a little bit of luck.  Fifty game milestoner Sinead Goldrick epitomised
