I no longer hate GWS

[H_T 3,049]

17 actually

I knew I was being too kind. 17. Right you are dc.

[The Chazz 4,077]

See your point Ron, but i will loathe and hate GW$ until well after my death.

I still remember that interview with Gubby Allan...the deals were already signed.

With you all the way there WYL.

I will never like GWS, and I will never forget nor forgive what cnut face did.

[My TD 156]

My hate towards Sheedy , Scully and GWS will never , ever diminish.

[Crompton's the man 659]

can't question a single point

also, in a season bereft of celebration, we got to enjoy smacking them by 78 points at the G

Only because Gold Coast tanked

[Gippsland Dee 367]

I don't hate them, i just strongly dislike them B)

[nutbean 8,838]

Funnily enough I have never hated GWS

TS is another story.

This is me ...

[Robbie57 2,022]

Ron if you ask me to go to one of their functions I will refuse, your on your own.

I dislike them.

That said I do like the fact they seem to have caught a bit of our old drafting expertise. Seriously how they let Toumpas drop and gave us hogan.

And they took scully. Sure given they have been handed tops picks galore this years choices are a bit strange.

I really hope they get Tippett as he will fit in with the $$$ culture they are building. (swans dodging a bullett there)

[baysidedave 246]

Yeah this year they have been better. Seriously Tom Scully leaving seems like a long time ago. You know what I hated GWS and him this season but im over it because our midfield looks so much better now and we have got tougher bodies in there now. I know he lied about going but does anyone really miss him.

I know people wills still boo Tom next year but if most of us didnt then we can insult him by showing him we dont care he has gone. Not that he would care if we did or not.

l hate him,$cummy, and his 'fat old man' can't stand Sheedy and GWS because they are getting the biggest leg-up in history. They will win the flag in 5 years time and still will only have 500 supporters so you won't be loving them then.

[45HG 1,559]

Tom $cully could yet go down as a Melbourne great. Always had an inkling he would.

[Bitter but optimistic 22,247]

I don't get this not hating stuff. I don't get mere dislike. You must hate every other side. I will admit, however, that degrees are involved. The filth, Carlton, Essendon and Richmond must always be the most despised with the most ill will directed toward them. The rest you can simply hate in any order you decide.

Bring on the haters!

The other clubs are just stepping stones!

Frickin rabble make me sick.

[Deecisive 1,709]

GWS did us no favors, just that their double dealing with $cully did not work out the way they expected. Call it Karma, but I think after a few more GWS boys start playing better they will be wanting some pretty big pay rises.

Re this years draft GWS wanted the first 3 picks this was not only for the player but the publicity etc that went with it, so they did the Hogan/Barry deal to get the 3rd pick with us. After all the only other team that would likely have traded would have been the bulldogs who I doubt would have given up both picks 5 or 6 to GWS and GWS did not really need later picks. Throwing in Barry cost them nothing, a bit like a set of steak knives to get the deal done. They left Toumpas because they did not need him that's all, no deals no favors.

[Whispering_Jack 30,674]

I think it's time to stop the hatred directed at Scully. I feel sad for him now and in view of the rich gifts we've received as a result of his leaving, I would suggest that when we next play GWS, we replace the booing and jeering with polite handclapping.

spot on markc.

[Pegasus 7]

After this Trade/Draft period GWS have rocketed from being my host hated along with Carlton to top of the tree with their insistence on giving us a leg up in almost everything

-Scully leaving

-Allowing jack viney to be taken in the 2nd round

-Hogan

-And letting toumpas, who was rated top 3 all year, slide to us

On the other hand Scully, Sheedy and to a lesser extent Gubby Allen are scum of the highest order. Just because Scully did us a huge favour doesnt mean you forget the whole year of lies that went with it.

[RalphiusMaximus 6,088]

My dislike of GWS is only partially because of what they did to us (and like many here, I am inclined ot think that they may have done us a favour). I object to the AFL trying to force team into an area that has no particular interest in hosting one at the expense of a legitimate bid from a place that is desperate to get a side into the AFL in Tassie. I think that it will be a black hole endlessly sucking money away from the competition and thus the other clubs, and while they are assured of short term success with the obscene concessions granted to them by the AFL (without due consideration given to safeguards to prevent them from misusing those concessions as they have), I do not think they are going to be a viable club in the long term. There is simply no supporter base for them.

All in all, I dislike the current administration for their rapacious attack on the rest of the competition with their concessions, but that is a passing thing. The real issue is that they are going to be a blight on the competition for years to come.

[ThreeOneSix 954]

You forgot Dom Barry.

I reckon Dom Barry is going to be something very special.

This was an absolute masterstroke.

[Guest]

The lying will always be the nail in the coffin for mine. I can understand if he left for money (considering his knees and how good a player he might eventually be). I can understand him leaving the toxic culture of the MFC at the time (I have spoken about this before). I do draw the line at him telling Jimmy he would stay when he had already signed with GWS. His boosters at headquarters say he had no choice. That is crap. Phil Davis did the right thing and told Adelaide he was leaving.

[Jaded No More 68,974]

GWS have never, and will never, do anything other than serve their own interests. That's fair enough, because I would expect our club to do the same.

That they massively stuffed up by overpaying the only gutless wonder who was willing to dog their club and run for cash, is an amusing and wonderful turn of events for us.

No doubt we are better off, but it still doesn't make their actions justifiable, and I still hate their guts and wish nothing but misfortune and high cholesterol to the Scullys.

[Norm Smith's Curse 2,602]

They are cunning, I'll give them that.

Anyone see Phil Scully at the GWS table last night?

I couldn't make out the other 7 blokes behind him...

No I didnt see Family Guy anywhere.

[Norm Smith's Curse 2,602]

I hear that GWS chose their top three because they wanted to surround Whitfield with mates so that he would be less likely to head home. Also heard from a claimed GWS source on facebook that it was part of the Hogan/barry for pick 3 and pick 13 deal although the club did a good job of sounding surprised that Jimmy was available. Perhaps they may also be under the delusion that they already have a quality outside running mid in Sculldog so didnt need Toumpas.

I dont really blame GWS for taking Scully - looking back I think they did it more for attention than anything else - stealing another highly prized draft pick from a Victorian club perhaps as a half-a'd attempt to get publicity in Sydney?

Clearly they werent offering him that much coin purely based on what he had delivered which to date still isnt very much when you compare him to Callan Ward who returned less compo.

We have done well with the compo picks and picked up some quality players who more importantly all want to play for the club and repay the faith rather than run for better offers and who were never interested in buying in. BUT!!!! That wasnt GWS's doing, that was our own foresight and machinations, not GWS. GWS arent doing us any favours that they arent also winning from.

And as for letting it all flow under the bridge - JUDAS 31! You lied to Jimmy!
