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.

Couldn't give a rats about scully and his bogan family.

But this stuff is the best entertainment you could hope for to fill in the weeks before the draft.

Warner implied there is plenty yet to come....bring it on!

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.

...or maybe Phil in drag?!

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?

Posted (edited)

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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.
