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.

Will definitely be making the trip over from Perth for it.

T'was interesting the comments about how if it were Collingwood or Richmond they and their fans wouldn't put up with the treatment of their club over the issue but that Melbourne has a weak, compliant board and was prepared to cop it sweet.

Been happening for years and we need to do something about that mindset if we're ever going to go places.

Forget him done and dusted, better off without any disloyal players, stinks of Demetriou all over this deal, Best way to stick it up the Afl and the former player is to move forward develop this young list into regular finals side, premiership contenders and win a flag or two. Lets see Tom end his career with nothing but thoughts of what loyalty may have brought him!

Whatever happens, Phil will just cop it on the chins.

Monopoly money! Love it!!!! Forget the marshmallows... Genius.

Clearly this whole saga is a disgrace. But in regard to us having a soft and compliant board.... I think just offering a huge contract to him would have pushed up his contract at gws... This will leave them with less money in 5 or 6 years time when they start challenging for the flag, at the same time we do. More than one way to skin a cat gentlemen.

He won't play round 13.

We play them away in Canberra, he will play there. I will make the trip and enjoy Beamer dishing out the same treatment that dermie got in 89 at the opening bounce.

Also, this is getting more and more like the girl with the dragon tattoo...

if we were to shower the turf in monopoly money Scully would spend the first quarter scurrying around collecting it all. Wouldn't need to tag him.

We need another parody for this A*%$hole.

Agree with your point. However, never ever does a good reporter give up his or her sources!

Sadly he has shown up Cam and others as being either gullible, stupid or both!

Yeah, the ol' cliche. He's more a MFC person than journalist.

I would love for some of the heat to be turned up on Scully's management, Velocity Sports here. They spun the web of deceipt all year, yet so far appear to be teflon coated. I've got no doubt that Peter Blucher, who was a sports journalist and Brisbane media manager in a previous life, has been crafting story after story on this. Did you like the most recent one about how tough things had been on Tom, and that had Melbourne been a bit more successful, he would have stayed?

Don't need to think hard about where these articles about an "unprofessional Melbourne" starting appearing from. And as for Alastair Lynch commentating on Fox as well as appearing on "On The Couch" saying his client's mind wasn't made up - well I'm sorry, but that just doesn't pass the sniff test.

I have said from day one, that they may have succeeded in filling Scully's bank account, but they have failed miserably in managing his reputation. Perhaps their slogan should be "Sports Management, Marketing and Deceipt."

"PHIL Scully is set to receive a tenfold pay rise as a full-time GWS recruiter after spending only two years as a weekend talent spotter.

The father of star GWS recruit Tom Scully will be paid a minimum of $100,000 a year by the Giants after earning only several hundred dollars a weekend with the Sydney Swans.

Scully is considered in the industry to be an enthusiastic recruiter who pulled no punches in his analysis of teens playing in the TAC Cup and private school system in the southern Melbourne region.

He is believed to have earned less than $10,000 a season assessing talent in the APS school competition and for several TAC clubs."

Nice Pay rise, for a saturday morning job....This is the stuff of John Wren from the 1920's

Shameful Demetrio Shameful.

I think it's entirely appropriate that we make mention that the entire Scull duggery volume threads here at Demonland will go on sale 4 weeks prior to Christmas...so don't forget to fill your stockings so you can read the entire set again and again. Be sure to put aside a whole year of spare time, because you're gunna need it !

They're yet to be posted on, but sure as hell you can bet your life they'll be some hum dinger threads of entertainment. They will come with all your complete characters - Grubby Allan, Kevin Sheedy, Andrew Demetriou, Dale Holmes and of course your favourites...Lucky Phil and his lost son.

PS. Sorry Mike.

Haha, I like it H_T.

I heard that the first 100 to purchase get their copies signed by rpfc.

• this thread will be locked once the new revelations from Michael Warner

Why? This is big news and it's fair enough that supporters want to discuss the issue.

Hahaha! That will be a longer read than all of J.K. Rawlings books!

I was in the camp that until i had some sort of "proof" then all was conjecture and speculation - Well, it leaves no doubt in my mind that there were massive lies told and now nothing would surprise me - I have been duped of the highest order and from now on my passport will read- "nutbean lives in the land of complete cynicism - believe nothing and nobody"

(Apology to WYL - I suggested, contrary to your post, that the truth would never be known - GWS are leaking like a sieve. Interesting that the lid has been kept so tightly shut on Ablett ( when and where) yet the Scully walls are comin' tumblin' down)

How about (from the Kingston Trio)

Imagine 30,00 demons singing this at the game

Hang down your head, Tom Scully

Hang down your head and cry

Hang down your head, Tom Scully

Poor boy, you're bound to die

Hadn't a-been for Gubby

I'd a-been at the MCG

Good point. But didn't Lynch go further? Was he the one who said that Melbourne fans could be 'confident' about T$' future?

Everyone attached to this sorry saga is diminished here.

p;oor boy you're bound to lie

The latest revelation about Phil Scully's pay increase is neither sensational nor surprising. 

It merely adds a little to what we already knew about all of the players in this scandalous affair.

We also know the AFL, which is propping up GWS with football money and resources, won't lift a finger to add to the compensation already granted to the club and is hoping the matter will blow over and die.

I think our football department is really doing a good job in dealing with the situation. In his SEN interview yesterday, Jade Rawlings said he hadn't heard a bad word said about Scully at the club. That means they're focussing on the right things despite the fact that many supporters (myself included) are venting over the issue as every new piece of evidence of duplicity and dishonesty comes to light.

That's ok because while many posters here are concerned about what's going to happen when we play GWS on two occasions in the latter half of the season, the coaches and players are concentrating on improving the team's performance against all opposition and particularly the power clubs of the competition like Geelong and Collingwood. The rest will fall into place - just as the Scully scandal will enevitably blow away and die.

The best thing that can happen to our club is that in twelve months time nobody will care about the name "Scully".

hadn'ta been for daddy...

The Herald Sun sure knows how to milk a story. Today's "revelations" are pretty much a rehash of yesterday's story, with Mark Stevens sprinkling a little garnish via his "did he lie?" add-on.
