Could you imagine the crows eagles or toiges being so accommodating ? Not in your life. Why are we soft towards opposition ? Ill clap good footy from any player or club but we need to let teams know theyre on OUR turf

So there I sit, in my job working for a company who have provided lots of training, lots of experience, lots of job satisfaction, lots of everything in fact...but then a rival company comes in looking for my experience and is willing to pay me much more than my present company.

Hands up who has been in this position, and hands up who took the new job

Loyalty does not exist anywhere these days, least of all football.

I just want to see MFC win against GWS, don't give a flying as long as that happens

It makes me sick when people say that "booing" is against the spirit of the game.

Football is competitive, bordering elitist, and people need to accept that. "Booing" is what you do in an attempt to jeer and mock the opposition. It goes hand-in-hand with "barracking", and should be a compulsory act from every Melbourne fan there on the day.

I don't like on-field violence but if Beamer or Mgner "accidentally" push their shoulder into Scully's head I won't be too sorry.

I want to see him well and truly levelled. Whoever does it will achieve legend status in my mind, although part of me now wants it to be Mitch Clark given Jaded's...uh...dedication to the cause.

Comparing football to any old business has and always will be ... folly.

And loyalty does exist in football ... just ask Dustin Martin, Matt Kreuzer, Marc Murphy, Swan, Thomas, Pendlebury and a whole host of others.

Could probably merge this with the throwing money thread i reckon . Same gist.Give the little bugger hell. We are Demons after all

Are the 'regs' on here saying that we as a supporter group should do nothing on Sunday? At best a little bit of light, polite Melbourne supporter booing?

This little punk stuck it to us for a whole season last year. Him, his old man and his shifty manager casting what Cam Schwab himself called a "black cloud" over the MFC for an entire season.

And we're supposed to just let it slide, 'get over it', without having any fun at his expense? Without having a good old fashioned whack at his media-created 'I'm just a victim of circumstance' line of spin?

Some of you guys are just too nice. Tom $cully deserves a clip for what he did.

Somehow I don't think throwing monopoly money will hurt his feelings much RR...

Loyalty means for Martin/Kreuzer/whoever else that their respective managers have got a really good deal for them.

This is why there are full time managers and full time List Managers now, so they can buy loyalty...and front end contracts, and have other incentives etc etc..

I notice Cloke still hasn't signed on the dotted line, probably doesn't find the loyalty Collingwood are offering big enough at the moment

And you can compare because footy is a business these days, how many on this board can put hand on heart and say they didn't/wouldn't do the same

I can't, coz they hit my weak spot, my wallet, my present lifestyle thanks them

It's not about hurting his feelings, it's about hurting his reputation.

Newspaper and TV images of disgusted Melbourne fans dismissively chucking fake banknotes at him will have this effect.

His management (Velocity) have done all they can to try and pump him up in news outlets as a 'victim of circumstance'.

Why should we cop that? We don't lie down on the field anymore. Our supporters shouldn't lie down off it, as well.

The only effect it will have is how sad and pathetic Melbourne supporters look.

The MCG inspectors will check all bags on entry. You can't take boos into the ground.

Mate, I'll be there booing the loudest trust me...

But this monopoly money idea is just so lame, and just so in tune with our upper crust wussy reputation, I hate it.

I have yet to talk about Scully on this board but this is my take on it. He could be the Demons Leigh Colbert. When Leigh Colbert walked out of Geelong in 1999, it was the collective wake up call the club needed to start addressing it's culture problem. Scully hasn't come out directly and said so but from him leaving the China trip early to constant reports of players out on the gas after games, I get a feeling that he didn't like what he was surrounded with. Let's be blunt. The money will set him up forever but in lots of cases, if a player has something pulling at him more than money, he can often stay at a football club and turn down huge offers.

We don't need to speculate on why he left Geelong. He straight up told them that he felt the culture wasn't right and the selfish attitudes of the players would never change. What ultimately happened on that front was that it finally got the Cats looking at their culture. It also delivered draft picks they used to pick up Corey Enright (not sure who the other one they picked up was). 8 years later and some labor pain along the way, they got to where they wanted to be.

I think some of the bitterness should subside here over what Scully did. I do think he was quite underhanded in how he kept everything secret but I also think his reasons for leaving may have been more valid than some think.

Loyalty means for Martin/Kreuzer/whoever else that their respective managers have got a really good deal for them.

All were reportedly offered piles of filthy GWS lucre but turned it down to stay with their clubs for less money.

Loyalty was a factor. Impossible to say it wasn't.

This is why there are full time managers and full time List Managers now, so they can buy loyalty...and front end contracts, and have other incentives etc etc..

I notice Cloke still hasn't signed on the dotted line, probably doesn't find the loyalty Collingwood are offering big enough at the moment

You can't compare Cloke to Scully. Cloke has at least given his club 7 years of quality service, played a big part in a flag, won a Copeland trophy and a Coleman.

And you can compare because footy is a business these days, how many on this board can put hand on heart and say they didn't/wouldn't do the same

Footy isn't and never will be ... just a business. How ridiculous. Show me a business that evokes the same passion, familial ties, historical rivalries and tribal loyalties.

And what's the difference between the millions he would have earned at Melbourne and the gazillions he's getting at GW$? A bigger plasma TV? A Porsche instead of a Volkswagon?

He had the chance to play for the greatest football club in the country on the most hallowed football stadium in the world every second week and he chucked it all away for a greedy few extra bucks.

If you can put your hand on your heart and say you aren't affected by this type of passion why do you even support the Demons? Or even care?

Amazing how few seem to have a sense of humour about this

lol

For Range Rover and whoever else plans to have fun on Sunday, here are the million dollar memories I whipped up in 15 mins yesterday for the traitor. (posted them in the wrong thread before). Print them out and have fun! Two choices for the flipside.

But what does doing this achieve????? If we do this and GWS win???? How stupid would it look.....players swap clubs all the time and this will happen more and more with FA...Build a bridge... get over it....and move on Next...

Bezelbub's right. Some of you guys need to grow a sense of humour.

Get into the theatre of it and stop being such passive, butterfly-clapping Melbourne toffs!

No worries B-dog. If you get a rush of blood you'll find me down behind the GW$ interchange dugout.

I'll have a spare wad of DemonDave's brilliant $cully/Vlad million buck notes for you to chuck over the fence!

I'm so over $cully, just kick their arses on Sunday and I be happy. I fact make it a pact to Kick arse them every time we play them.

make sure the ch 7 boundary riders see them and get them on live, national TV

NOt sure with this

I agree wholeheartedly with the detestation (if thats a word ) with T$ actions particularly the lying and lack of effort obvious to all

Also agree that the money throwing and booing would appear Tawdry and pathetic particularly if we lose the footy game

Perhaps a better act would be to ignore the $hit and just cheer even more loudly to support our guys

intimidate the umpires to give us the free kicks and ignore any close call against T$

when the game is done and we have won direct our cheers to our boys and let the$ know the sort of support and passion that exists in the MFC can never be his. If throwing the money at this point make sure it is understood that it is tainted and will never be worth the MFC allegiance he has lost.

Take the money and run and keep on running. Make him want to not come back
