Tom Scully blew out his cobwebs as he beat all and sundry in his 3k time trial today - Scully sizzles on track.

    I think Brock McLean won Carlton's time trial a couple of years ago too!

    Let it go man. He doesn't love you any more.

    Don't know if you noticed-I am a FEman.However, I believe that every footballer is worthy of praise,if they produce and Tom's perormance was quite unbelievable .He did the time trial with a time of 9m 37s.An elite performance trully. In particular with a so called wonky knee.I believe he tanked it with us last year and look forward to other comments.

    Says a lot about that dodgy knee doesn't it....3 km's is a long way....

    It says nothing.

    Not sure what you're trying to read into it though...

    You see it differently to me E25 and that's your right.

    Young To$ was in 3rd gear all of 2011...i have no doubts at all...China proved that one.

    Surely Scully caining it in the time trial doesn't come as a surprise? He's fast and has top notch endurance - remember how he went #1 in the draft a couple of years ago because of this? I know we've all convinced ourselves that he's really no good anyway and he's got the knees of a 97 year old, but...

    I gotta agree. Running at a steady pace in a straight line isn't going to stress a knee as much as match conditions

    I'm with you WYL. With $6 million and reputations at stake you can be sure, at minimum, GW$ told Tom to "err on the side of caution with your knee" in 2011. Ie. "Tank it."

    How ironic that the player we tanked for ended up tanking on us.

    You are very loose with the word "proof"

    Absolutely....there must have been some sort of "insurance" clause in what he signed during october 2010...that is a business standard.

    Believe what you like, but he came home early and signed...with Phil.

  • Quote

    are we sure he did 9mins 37 sec? he might just have said that, when in reality he only ran 2ks somewhere else?

    It was up on the GWS website yesterday afternoon when i first read it...

    I dont believe much of what young Tom says. I think he has been very sparse with the truth and has been in my opinion thoroughly discredited but I still wont go and parade opinion as proven fact. You use the word "proved" - Look up the word proof and then please provide some.

    If the above is what you believe then fine ( and it well may be the case) but without proof it is opinion.

    watch the final game against Carlscum last year....that was proof enough that i saw with my own eyes....he stayed wide of the play most of the day....i watched him close as i knew it was going to be the last time i saw him in the jumper.

    This is a discussion board not a court of law, so proof and opinion can be pretty much the same thing..

    (look up nit picking) again!!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
