The way hes playing he did us a favour.

True RF, but the problem is, he would still probably run rings around most of our players the way we are performing at the moment.

But do we need another player that skirts the pack and waits for his team mates to get the ball to him?

Give me Jack Viney, he will get his own ball and crush Scully on the way through.

Can't argue with that... I'm just dreading the thought of seeing him have a blinder against us later this year.

Scully looks to have made the right choice for him. I take solace from the fact that GWS head hunted the wrong man!

Sadly, it gets back to the administration again.

The Scully drama should never have been allowed to drag on like it did. A simple and reasonable time line needed to be set by MFC for him to commit for 2012 and beyond. It's not really that complicated. The same could go for the likes of Moloney now. Make him an offer soon if we wish to keep him. If he hasn't agreed by, say, Round 18 then it's no more games for him.

We could do with Tom Scully on our list for the next 15 years. This is fact. We should be ashamed he felt it necessary to leave and we must get ourselves into a position that no player ever wants to leave us again...

Yep, surely cannot blame him for his decision now. Perhaps the way he went about it, but he took a significant pay rise to play for a club that is showing a lot more promise than us at the moment.

Scully never bought in to the club or its history. The rumour was that he wasnt impressed with our lack of professionalism and training effort. its sad that we have in some ways proven his concerns right.

The whole scenario was a joke that made him look like a mercenary. But this is old territory.

Like it or not, he is a loss.

He has flaws in his football but he is the sort of player that we need.

Unfortunately Scully personality isn't the usual footballer.

Gary Lyon said None of the MFC people really know Tom and in GWS, non of them really know Tom. He's a bit of a loner. That's his personality.

He sees football as a job and works hard at it for the right price. MFC Recruiters must look deeper.

Good on the guy for setting himself up for life and I don't begrudge him any success with the GWS but we certainly benefited from his departure in terms of $$$ and recruiting options.

HIs loner mentality probably explains why he never fixed up his kicking

I believe Sheedy said he just doesn't interact with the other players and that they thought we just hadn't handled him well, leading them to believe they could round him off and get the great footballer they required; guess what I don't think they do now.

Don't let this distract you from the cavalcade of abuse he richly deserves in Round 13.

Will always be a stain on the MFC's history.

He did nothing Mitch Clark didn't do.

Did Mitch Clarke state a desire to stay at Brisbane whilst his dad held a job offer in the top draw to become Melbournes newest recruiter? I can't remember any of that, remind me?

Clark did state a desire to remain in Brisbane right up until he had to sign on the dotted line.

Don't kid yourself. Tom Scully is no different to Mitch Clark. Players come and go. Money talks.

This is the only thing I'm looking forward to for the rest of the season. It may be disgraceful, unbecoming, and hopefully the TV cameras are pointed to another section of fans, but he is going to bear the brunt of a season of frustration from yours truly. Let's not hate ourselves enough that we would bend over and give any credit to that weasel.

Is anyone watching how he has gone? I rarely see any write-ups on his game performance, saw he was getting a few good stats recently but not really getting in best. Would be interested to hear from anyone who has watched the Greater Western Boys...

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
