What a load of rubbish, his finest moment was signing a $6 million contract.

No matter what Scully does from this point forward, he has no legacy. Instead of embracing true greatnes, and leading a club, he chose an easy option for money, and also probably listened to the likes

How's his knee BTW. The atmosphere around there has done for it by all appearances.

His knee was fine. We had been rolled over. Kid couldn't wait to leave. He played well against Ablett. Says a lot about where we are. I hate to admit it. But it is true.

Don't ever recruit high draft picks without good teachers. End of story. I hold the board accountable for that one.

The board and CEO should have invested heavily in the FD coaches as soon as the debt demolition money started-rolling in...to wait 2 years was a terrible oversight that is exactly why we are sh!te right now.

Bit like the 6000 year old culture trip at the end of 2010.

Not sterile enough for him.

No junk food for his dad.

He can say what he wants about the reason he plays football and how much he loves his lifestyle in Sydney. The reality is that his lifestyle is better because he went from a fixed contract for a draftee to being the highest paid player in the league and he's loving life because he's got more money that he knows what to do with. While I have no problem with this, I do have a problem with his claiming it has anything to do with his team. Man up and admit that the money what motivates you dude.

Amen! I dont care whether he has been proven right be recent events. Point is that he never bought in from the start. And as meek as the demons often are, if they dont 'play like demons' in that game ill be very dissapointed - ive already got my banner printed up for the game: 'Prove $cully Wrong!'

Good luck to Tom - never held his leaving against him. GWS are being lauded for how they are going about it and they are a pretty competitive unit. Now can they hold onto these players.

But when was the last time any MFC player had a head to head battle with Ablett Jnr.

That is what we lost. All jokes and barbs aside. It hurts. And i am very disappointed in the MFC for being so ill prepared in this comp.

Yeah Tom showed a lot of honesty and intergrity with the way he went about it. He may be a star yet but he will always be remembered as a mercenary. he could have stayed and OWNED our club. Been set up for life and be remembered as a great club man.

Well I was not talking about how he did it, more that it was a no brainer.

There is development required at multiple levels, lets hope it happens soon.

I can envision this scenario. After they pump us by 40 points our players will shake hands with Tom, have a chat and a laugh and pats on the back all round.

So true that it makes me rip my hair out LOL! I even worry that a few envy him for going and would like to do the same.

I wish we could bring back and send out Byron Pickett for just one game - that game! For one of those beautiful 4-week banning bumps

Me too. I just can't imagine him stepping onto the 'G when we play them. Either Sheedy will hold him back for the game, or he'll give him the freedom on the day to run free and collect 40 possessions.

I think that if he does play, he'll rip us apart.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    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. 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. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
