A thread about Sully who left our club for a deal of a life time & when our footy dpt was in a mess!

Carrying about booing & how they booed... really cmon!

I also was very angry when I left but understood why, remember we are not the only club that lost a star/potential

Lets face it we beat an u19 team, lets not forget we are 1-10,

Oh thanks..that cleared it up..

Obvously no sense of occasion or humour

I love how - once we realised that he was only going to be a good ordinary player - we tricked GWS into stealing him so we could free up some money to pinch Mitch, and get some compo picks to have ano

Disgraceful thread. I hope he has the worst flight ever. I hope his dad sits on the seats next to him.

Great job by the crowd today, didn't let up, now we move on. $cully is a thing of the past, and IMO he isn't even that good. Good hands and engine and that's it.

Classier???

Thanks for the info anyway. :)

Yes classier. What did you want to see, a fistfight?

Scully was far from the worst for GWS, and he will be a very good, 200 game AFL player. Christ, move on. The club has.

Did many players shake his hand after the game or be friendly with him??? I missed it.

PS. When I played I only used to shake the hand of my opponent for the majority of the day - its got ridiculous all the handshakes these days.

As for Tom, how do you feel now you slime bag?!

Yeah...the Demons players did shake his hand and it was all happy love and roses time after the siren...

Its flat out annoying.

MFC...cut out this nice guy image its bs.Go to your supporters firstly and thank them for standing by you through the rubbish games we've seen this year.

James Mcdonald maybe shake hands with... but as for the GWS as a club they can jam all the nice guy rubbish after the siren....

Dont forget they want to make a play for Viney also...full well knowing he will play for us only & they just do it to get the upper hand,,AGAIN!

Im happy the Demons smashed them but our skill level is a discrace IMO from watching on TV I thought our skills were rubbish.

Sorry to be a little negative guys...just want us to get a lot better than we are and against good opposition not kids.

Mitch Clark you are a gem. Thank god we chased you as theres no forward line otherwise.

Well done by Riv today also tho,

Not a huge fan of schadenfraude, and I do believe he will be our Leigh Colbert, but was nice for him to get the reception he 'deserved'. I hear that in Jimmy Stynes' posthumous autobiography mark 2, he pots Scully. It says a lot when a bloke like Jimmy, one of the most positive and humble blokes you would have found, lays the boots in.

Tom $cully will get booed by the MFC crowd until his career ends. As it should be. It will level out. But we should never forget how we were treated for 15 months as Jimmy got sicker. Junior Mac is always welcome through the door. He will be back.

I also felt that our skills still need work. There were some howlers committed today that would have been eaten up by higher quality opposition. Once the boys have gotten their stamina up, they need to work on their skills!

Um... No fistfight. And Im certainly sure I moved on long ago, well before a lot of others. It is ok to ask questions. Now you move on.

I think to be honest, Melbourne really needs to extend an olive branch to Junior. He was treated appallingly.

Unbelievable. All Australian games, including the ultra violent, collision rugby codes, have a tradition of shaking hands with players you were trying to kill. Not shaking Scully's hand would have been spineless and disgraceful.

Not sure if this post was directed to me but I think you will find I asked a question first, then backed it up by saying when I played the game we only shook the hand of the opponents we played on whereas these days times have changed.

Nothing wrong with that, let it go, we won!!!

Quite a few players did, the cameras kept panning back. First was Jeremy Howe, then Sam Blease. Later was Jack Watts, were others. It is not an issue for the players they are all just AFL conscripts anyway in the immortal words of Ron Barassi, 'being loyal to the club they are with'.

Agree, just had a falling out with a good mate because he wouldn't look me in the eye shaking hands-its our (Australian) culture and in footy.

I agree Junior is welcome back anytime. Scully can whistle for all I care, as he placed dollars far above any mateship or success he might have eventually got here at Melbourne. Sheedy can cry all he likes re not getting the Dees job a few years ago.................so suck it it up, you old princess Sheeds! He might do better being as bitter at others who have aimed barbed words at him since he left the Bombers. Garry Lyon would be laughing at your pathetic photo, you old fart. You are now out of touch with modern footy. I really didn't think you would lose it so quickly Sheeds. We still have bucket loads of work to do so lets all roll up the sleeves and win another game or two soon. It won't happen by itself. The challenge is now on for a few players to justify their position on our list come 2013. Personally I predict a couple of experienced hangers on, will be missing next year.

The guy sitting in front of me (who seemed to have no affilation to either team) interrupted my booing by turning around and asking

"Would Jim Stynes boo Tom Scully?" Couldn't come up with a witty response in 5 seconds.

I always seem to sit with weirdos.

Your not Jim Stynes.

Everyone has the right to be themselves, & Jimma wouldn't put you down for showing your passsion & feelings.

Still was hoping someone might have run through him kust for good measure lol.

Magner hurt him at one point. Think it was in the 3rd quarter.....maybe.

Don't know. I'll have to review the tape tomorrow. Was just outside the square (between wing and flank) on Southern Stand side slightly towards the city.

Just can't remember which quarter.

Tapscott hasn't had his chance yet, Skoda will be interesting.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
