    Yes; I should think that's warranted.

    No it wasn't "dumb luck" as you call it.. His Father was up in Sydney the previous March, before the season proper started, actually negotiating certain terms and conditions with GWS.. That was published just after he left MFC...

    Exactly.

    If that had've been published prior to Scully leaving, it might have been a valid cause to believe he was going, but even then, not in all certainty.

    He could've been there to have a pitch made to him, but still far from decided.

    This is my point - no one knew with any certainty, so those patting themselves on the back are doing so based on a largely uneducated punt.

    Some supporters have instinct, intuition, astuteness, knowing the way the wind blows, reading tea leaves, reading between the lines, filter out irrelevant information and sniff out the truth etc, etc to develop a sound educated opinion. Others like E25, Artie, Jose, Keyser, Jens etc, etc would call this dumb luck because they dont know anything else other than dumbness.

    It was in a sense dumb luck.

    His extremely high offer wasn't initially on the table and was increased significantly at the last moment.

    A combination of the AFL not wanting GWS to look bad considering the majority of players rejected their offers (such as Thomas ect.) and they wanted to get a more high profile player compared to Ward + an extremely high salary cap which was only partially filled due to GWS having 15+ under 18 year old players on the minimum wage hence his $2m in the first year, and a reduced amount after.

    Before the last minute increase the only person who would have known if he was going to go was him. We were just all speculating and the amount of private variables (such as his father getting a job at GWS) does make the result dumb luck.

    not really frankie, the origins of the terms "public", "grammar", "private", "church", "state" etc bear little resemblance to today's reality

    those who wish to stick to the historical notion of "public" school are dinosaurs (or anglophiles)

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
