Yes The Ox did get stuck in, i remember that well. I was talking more of the press articles, all the journalist's tip toe around the issue considering when Phil signed..& when Tom came home from China.

The Ox was spot on and little Tom knew it.

The ox has a way of telling the truth . Scully is like Tom Cruise by comparison-ie he can't handle it .Poor little rat .

Not a person in the footy community with half a melon would look at this bloke and not think "scumbag".

Funny you should say that .

The atmosphere was picnic blankets and fun , even the Giants fans knew the serious stuff was to come a little later in the year.

Only a Collingwood supporter who abused Scully when he arrived at the game looked to be taking it seriously.

An interesting article from of the Sunday Age on GWS recruiting and an expected Victorian counterattack Fear not Victoria

Good article that.

I'm looking forward to Tomlinson getting homesick. Maybe we can grab him at the end of next year.

Er, in that article I think Niall referred to Clark as a 'good, ordinary player.'

Condemned by faint praise.

I think this view is widespread in the footy world and I hope Mitch spreads wide the footy world and shoves that view up it's .... .

Nah , I think its if we had've paid Scully way overs to retain him for eg.

I must admit to waiting for the match tonight to start. New Foxtel and such.

There was no joy in seeing football, I was surprised how much venom I felt for Scully. I just looked for him the whole quarter then turned off. It brought me right back to one Brian Wilson playing for St Kilda shaking his fist at the members after kicking a goal circa 1991.

Franky, Willo was only ordering 2 coffees from the member's canteen. Nothing sinister in that!

Even the random supporters at the pub where I had drinks last night were abusing Scully (despite also wanting GWS to beat Collingwood).

It was a very amusing and in some sick way a pleasurable start to my evening.

''You look at it from my side but also from the side of the supporters. People are very passionate about their clubs and they obviously don't want to lose players. The supporters kind of think they own you if you play for the club, but that's footy. They pay their membership and they are part of the club, they are the life of the club, you need them to survive, but they probably didn't look at it from my position. It's a great opportunity for me to come up here and be part of something special. A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.''

I find that comment really offensive, why doesn't he just shut his mouth and stop talking rubbish?

Of course we can all see it from his position, we always have. He doesn't seem to understand that it was the way he went about it that caused so much anger. As the other posts have mentioned, there doesn't seem to be a hint of regret there at all. Completely deluded.

The point that annoys me regarding people's view on Clark is that he is not worth the money we have paid.

I think it is fair to say that Clark has been 'good ordinary player' based on his past few seasons.

No doubt we are overpaying based on what he has produced as a forward so far.

We needed a big forward who could take a contested mark and create a contest.

We had to overpay to get him to the club.

But the part that others forget is that Clark is 25 years old, 200cm tall. He will be coming into his prime right now.

If other talls are a guide he will be a lot better in the next few years than what he has displayed so far.

Most football fans don't seem to understand that he has not yet peaked.

What I saw of him against Tarrant last year made me think he was worth plenty because he showed some fighting spirit .Just loved watching him take the pith out of

Taz and beat him at the same time .Still raw but can lead , mark and kick .Very happy to have him on board and I'll pay the Skype bill for him to call home .

I dont think we made a mistake or paid to much .Seen as the coup of the off-season .

Won't be long & they will all find out!

Clark will love the size of the MCG, let's not forget that. Room to move. Not that the Gabba is small, but playing 14-15 games a year on the 'G would have been a strong selling point.

He surely has mild Asperger's. Someone should really tell him to shut up.

why do you say just 'mild'?

btw i think aspergers syndrome would be fairly common in afl ranks B)

Its a broad spectrum and I would argue that the "Clumsiness / Uncoordinated motor movements" trait is certainly not a "key" or requisite indicator

I have heard from my Sydney friends that Tom Scully has been given a new nickname. It is " Skunk",

take off from father, new hair cut resembles it and the way he played in his first NAB cup- he went underground..Comments please !

rather than "be part of something ordinary at MFC" eh Tom?

    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.
