How is his knee going?

His "chronic" knee injury kept him out for half a season.

What a joke. Fcuk we got conned.

We must use the AFL assistance to the maximum

The owe us bigtime

The same AFL that gave us TWO FIRST ROUND PICKS for him leaving?

They owe us nothing.

Purely on Scully he took a heap of unearned cash and is not at a basket case of a footy club anymore. As much as I hate to say it he has done well for himself.

Regardless they still over paid for him and they know it.

I was pleased to hear that Tom felt no pity for the Dees and had no regrets in switching clubs.

Good on ya Tom.

Sounds like a bit of Nah na na na nah na to me, about what you'd expect from a mental lightweight likeTom.

Childish, unnecessary and does nothing for his charisma. I'm a big believer in karma.

Tom can say what he likes, he is on a stack and owes us nothing, it's football.

I'm not as disappointed as most that Scully has left, he has no inside game and is a rushed player, he has no poise.

Scully will always tear up weak sides, but sides that use pressure - they will always be Tom's undoing.

I don't miss Tom Scully one bit and Jesse Hogan will be a FAR better player for our club than Tom could've ever been.

I wish I was ten years younger, I'd love to of played against Tom Scully, he is mentally very weak.

He knows he's despised by just about anyone wearing red and blue.

I suspect I'd feel the same as him towards the club given what he hears every time he's near a Melbourne supporter. Don't expect any conciliatory remarks any time soon.

If we were a successful club he'd just be a blip on our radar. Unfortunately, his departure embodied everything that was going wrong with our club.

Hogan. Hogan. Hogan. Hogan.

Oh, and some sleight of hand with Viney.

And a tonne of cash for Clark.

We're still ahead of that game.

We'd have ended up with Viney anyway

Clark may never play again.

Hogan is great, however...

...our midfield.

Scully, Brock, Moloney would make this team 4-5 wins better, EASY.

What is the cost of revolutionary change -- erratic, immediate change -- for "sustained success"? With the vision of being a consistent finals side, the club has hit arguably its lowest point, will struggle to attract sponsor AND members next year, and may lose another $2-3 million in 2014. The logic was that the club needed to be completely turned over in order to go up. It's no more an assured direction towards success than a slow, refined shift towards sustainability.

For what the club has given up, was it worth it? Melbourne has ended up with lots of potential, but has regressed. And further to Hogan, if I had a dollar for every superstar VFL player that's been on the club's list, I'd be a millionaire.

I am still not convinced that Melbourne has come out better of losing Scully, or letting Brock and Moloney walk. Because the club gave up its heart -- and lost a potential star because of it -- for what has turned out to be a spectacular failure of an attempt to create sustained success.

Peter Jackson is the last - very, very last - chance the club has to get it right.

Every week the club appears to set new lows. Yesterday was lowest of the low. Can it get any lower?

Gold Coast's biggest ever win next week. Bookmark it.

For the love of God let this season end.

Who cares...Tom Scully made the right choice, no doubt - he's not that good (likely because of a real knee condition) and he'll never get paid like that again.

We got overs - and have spent it very well. We need a midfield, but the suggestion that Scully, Brock and Moloney would put us in a much better position is seriously overrating those guys. Great we could be finishing on 7 wins with that s***heap.

Every time I see him playing, regardless which team he is playing against, my lip curls and I cannot help but hiss at the television. It an involuntary reaction that I don't think will ever go away.

    THE PEOPLE SPEAK by The Demonland Crew

    DEMONLAND - Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland 2024 Grand Final Podcast ... before we took that last phone call from a Demonlander, we were discussing how the club overcame it’s midseason slump, the season-ending injury to Christian Petracca and the loss for a brief period of skipper Max Gawn due to a  crack to the base of his right fibula, to slowly surge up the ladder turning our detractors into believers and how it ended the year triumphant in the finals with our capta

    EARLY BIRDS by KC from Casey

    Wet, slippery conditions and threatening rainfalls greeted the VFL Bombers at the end of their long journey southeast of the big city on Sunday. The threatening weather combined with the fact that neither side had realistic prospects of advancing to action in September, meant that spectators gathered at a cold Casey Fields weren’t expecting a classic exhibition of football. Nor did they get one. Instead they were presented with a dour struggle that never reached great heights. It was a

    HEAVENS ABOVE by Molly Melbourne

    Who said the football gods and scoreboard attendants at the MCG don’t have a sense of humour? The gods spent a whole week teasing Demon and Bomber fans alike about Saturday night’s game. About how the entire match would be dominated by the hulking, brooding figures of 205cm Sam Draper and his 2IC Peter Wright lapping it up in the absence of Melbourne skipper and the club's No.1, No 2, No 3 and No 4 ruckman Max Gawn in the wake of that ankle injury. They painted pictures of Simon Goodwin ne

    GAMEDAY: Rd 18 vs Essendon

    It’s game day and the Demons face a massive test which may determine whether they have what it takes to play finals this season. The task has been made all the more difficult without their Premiership Captain Max Gawn.

    GIANT HEADACHE by Whispering Jack

    The crack in the captain’s ankle might be very small but the repercussions of the injury are enormous. The aftershock of the news that Max Gawn will sit on the sidelines for the next two or three weeks has provided Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin with a giant headache, not unlike the one he faced after the Kings Birthday when another Demon superstar Christian Petracca suffered his season-ending injury. That headache is magnified by the fact that Goodwin is facing a month of tough encounters a
