GWS player arrested on a raft of charges for assault

[Sir Why You Little 36,985]

Like $cully.

He must be having the time of his life if all his team mates have got that sledging attitude before they win anything!!!!

hahaha........as soon as you told the judge you were a land poster you'd be instantly excused

I can see it now:

'The defence wishes to submit the following thread replies to demonstrate why the juror is unfit to serve in this court:

* Cameron Ling is too ugly to be Melbourne senior coach.

* Jake Spencer should be played as a decoy full forward and Jack Fitzpatrick on a wing.

* The MFC should make an attempt to lure Tim Tebow to the AFL.'

John Ralph stated that the GWS players sledge more than any other club and seem to think they've done it all already, you have to wonder how many of the young guys up there just want to play football and would prefer out of the place, like Dom Tyson.

There are a few up there that you wouldn't touch.

Important that we know the difference. Would be terrible to poach a 'gun' only to find he is a rotten egg. For the first time in a long time, I believe Roos, Taylor and Todd Viney would make the right calls.

I'm Liverpool, but I didn't go around beating people.

I'm Liverpool too. Head butt is quicker anyway.

Must be said I never found any benefit from these things being played out in the press first, only detracts from a fair hearing. Anyway am so glad I don't have to deal with idiots who cannot hold their drink anymore (I really hate Crown)..., actually come to think of it am still dealing with idiots... just swap religion and ethnicity for alcohol... might have made a wrong turn somewhere... d'oh!

I've been told quite a few stories about the GWS boys, nothing as serious as Greene's charges, more just utter stupidity amongst themselves. Some of it seriously dangerous, a lot of it the stuff of absolute morons.

And also a massive dose of home sickness.

The joint is a rabble, there's not much Ward and Davis can do to control a bunch of idiots when they're not around.

Has Scully had his first sip of alcohol yet?

[Elusive Tunbridge 795]

I was amazed to learn that Scully is in the leadership group. Just amazed.

[What 18,810]

sounds like its party time up at GWS

and Scully says he left because of the MFC culture LOL

Have fun up there Tom, we will just have to push on with Paul Roos....

[Moonshadow 17,675]

Maybe it's based upon him leading his own way out of MFC to GWS...

It would seem to have little to do with integrity.

[Elusive Tunbridge 795]

On reflection, I think he's there as a role model for the moral development of players like young Toby.

From the sound of it I'd be amazed if there was a leadership group.

At some point the AFL will realise how big a stuff up this is .

Same.

Looks like GWS have assumed that just because Scully trains hard, that he is a good leader.

Tom Scully isn't a nice person, he only cares about himself and that isn't the type of person I'd want leading my club.

The weaknesses in Scully's game have been there since he debuted, he is stagnant because he hasn't fixed them.

Sometimes in order to fix our weaknesses, we need to suck in our ego and be honest to ourselves - two things beyond Tom Scully.

I don't find it that amazing - but I nevertheless think it's a poor decision. Compared with most of their players he is quite experienced now and, obviously, on good coin - hence the argument for putting him in the leadership group.

But as I've posted elsewhere, to be a leader, you need to have followers. I don't get a sense that Scully is the type to attract followers as he appears to be introverted and obsessive about his own standards of performance. Putting him in the leadership group doesn't automatically make him a leader and as a result is likely to be counter-productive for both him and the team.

Jesus Song that is a very strange and disturbing image.

[monoccular 17,413]

Interestingly The Age just now reports a Blues player* was involved in some nightclub altercation over the weekend.

What is it with these guys? Overpaid, overhyped, too much downtime. Testosterone - endogenous or supplements maybe ??

(*no, not Eric Clapton)

I'm used to you making some exaggerated posts, but come on!

The kid left us. Yes, it left a bitter taste in my mouth too.

But honestly, this sort of OTT character assassination is embarrassing.

He might not be a great leader, and he may not have fixed some of his deficiencies, but the rest is beyond ridiculous.

[Machsy 2,858]

Same with this.

The AFL will realise, like they eventually did with us?

One bad egg does not make the entire club a farce.

We had McLean, Sylvia, Moloney, Carroll... as nauseum.

Listening to the radio tonight, I heard that GWS's leadership group has suspended Greene for 5 games and fined $5000. And that people for Greene have said that it is too severe a penalty. At this point, Greene should keep his head down and lay low.

It was announced that Greene will appeal the decision... as it was handed down by the leadership group, I would say that would make his position at GWS pretty much untenable.
