well DeeMfc in order for there to be a point you would have to believe at least something shoddy said.....and there is the dilemna

unless your point is that Kevin Goebbels is spreading misinformation and propaganda again

I also hold very bitter feelings about the snot nose kid ( may he rot in hell) but complete proof - please point me to where the article gives complete proof he had no knee soreness last year ?

He had a bung knee - he was out for the better part of the last half of the season and now it might be feeling better ? is that a possibility ? It is unheard of that a footballer has an injury, rests and it gets better ?

Lets not kid ourselves. The kid lied about his contract and we would all like to believe his lack of performance was due to knee soreness.

I think you will find that there hasn't been an issue with his knee for quite some time (IMO).

Those are 24kg kettlebells. If there was any issue with his knee he would certainly not be training with 48 kg's of weight without strapping his knee.

Reports on his Knee soreness appeared by co-incidence soon after the GWS rumour broke out. Very low key at first. Didn't even get on our injury list for a long time. He will only miss a week or two and needs a little rest was the word. Then it went on and on and basically plagued him for the rest of the season ensuring he gave minimal contribution.

In 2010 there was no mention of any knee problems and he played out almost the entire season.

Pre season training reports prior to the GWS rumour described his training as awesome and a standout.

Now we hear that his training is awesome and a standout again.

I am of the opinion his knee soreness was complete bull. How can a non specific and vaguely described injury like this be properly diagnosed or proven? If he says his knee is sore then you have to take his word for it just like he said he didn't sign with GWS till the end of this season.

Me Thinks you are quite right, last season was a safety first don't damage the goods year for the sake of my wallet in the next few years.

But lets get over it, its a cancer if you let it eat our heart out,

Trust me , he has several injury areas including his knee believed to be a fractured patella. They don't mend and just need to be managed as they curtail output. Cooney has a similar injury and we know what it has done to him. He also has hip and groin issues.

PS. Look at the photo, he is obviously using the weights as counter balances to keep him steady as he moves.

None of us know for sure except for the kid's medical people. I've received information from sources that are usually reliable that Scully's prognosis is as you say. 

If that is indeed true, then his training load needs to be carefully managed and this seems to be consistent with what we are seeing in the photo above. I don't doubt that he will play his share of games this year but I don't believe his injury, his well-being or his future career should be of much concern to us. 

We have 42 blokes on our list (soon to become 46) plus a committed future father/son whose health and welfare are more important to me and should be to all of us.

 

That doesn't mean I won't keep an eye on his progress but, because of the contempt the Scully camp showed the club in his final year, I can't help it for reciprocating and enjoying their discomfort at the situation they, with the help of the AFL, created.

Exactly WJ ..... and what's more, they all want to be Dees.

This story might be about Tom Scully in few years

That's sad news about Brandon Roy. BRoy gave his all for the team and the fans loved him. I doubt Ssssscully will ever be held in the same high regard.

Are you saying that the club did not have their own specialists/medical team examine Scully, but rather rested him based simply on the word of an his own physician, despite the rumours surrounding his impending defection... or are you saying that the MFC knew of his defection and that they were implicated in a cover-up by stating that Scully was being rested for knee soreness when they knew this to not be the case?

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    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.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
