GWS player arrested on a raft of charges for assault

Featured Replies

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.'

No Demonlander would last 2 minutes.

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. :P

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?

 

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....

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

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


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.

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 ??

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.

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.

everyone knows that androids make great leaders

He's the designated driver.

 

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.

  • 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.

    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.

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
