I know I should be a better person and forgive and forget and all that, but this brought a smile to my face:

Scully out for season.

[What 18,810]

Hardly a loss for them'

Cant even crack 20 possessions per game in his 5th season, doesn't kick goals, does zero damage

So glad he left

[Don24 103]

we had a real win with that deal! (assuming hogan is even half as good as he looks)

[Dr. Gonzo 24,225]

Damn, was looking forward to the 3rd annual Carnival of Hate in a couple of weeks.

[dazzledavey36 54,951]

More important why aren't they getting investigated for is absolutely clearly tanking?!

[Uncle Fester 2,848]

They'd be tanking if they played him.

Those pictures are fantastic haha, how have I not seen these before!?

[chook fowler 19,459]

Has there been a more reviled character at our club? If so I would like to know who it is.

Hope all the $$$ have been worth it Tom.

[dazzledavey36 54,951]

I think that bottom pic with the guy holding up the money bags is actually a poster from here.

Just cant remember who...?

I was just thinking the same thing, dd36

Well it is not me so that reduces the search by 1.

[Whispering_Jack 30,198]

Privacy laws prevent me from divulging the identity of the poster but Dazzle ... he's a regular helper at our inter forum games.

Also very rich because those money bags contained a lot of $100 & $50 notes

[Maldonboy38 6,403]

I actually think he is an ok footballer, but he is developing very slowly and would probably not be in our starting 22 if still with us. But the way he left the Dees... will never forget him.

But with his season ending surgery I am now disappointed that my eldest daughter and I will now miss our annual "Booing Tom Scully Game" which has become such a favourite. I know it sounds petty but I cannot tell you how much I enjoy booing this bloke every time he is near the ball.

[Gorgoroth 12,963]

The best was the guy who use to sit near me in the southern stand who had the money pinned to his jacket and security tried to remove from the ground (iirc)

[Ron Burgundy 8,584]

$1M per season.

Think of the players in that bandwidth.

He's getting paid more than Nate Fyfe.

[Redleg 40,944]

The Petracca Cup is in full swing.

[Redleg 40,944]

Actually it's $1.2m per season, with $100k going to his father, a genius recruiter, who before GWS was earning about $5k per year as a part timer with the Swans.

[John Crow Batty 8,871]

All part of the cunning devious plot by the Scully's and Richmond first implemented when we drafted him to eventually get him to his spiritual home at the Tigers. I'm sure GWS are getting to the stage where they would desperatly love to offload him. The Scully plan is to devalue boy wonder so much that he becomes a free set of steak knives.

He'd be in our best 22 tomorrow.

[Gipsy Danger 1,067]

Seriously everyone its time to get over it and move on. Three years is enough!

He is not the first guy to leave for money and damn well won't be the last.

Anyone who gets paid to do anything and then gets an offer to do it somewhere else for a lot more money would take it. The kid took hold of the greatest opportunity a 20 year old would ever get and good luck to him. Anyone who says they wouldn't do the same is lying to them selves.

Three years is enough? Let me think. Ummmmmmmm......no.

[Return to Glory 8,442]

Let's never forget that the AFL green lighted the snagging of our number one draft pick at a time where we were absolutely on our knees. Far worse than the position we are in now. This included the side deal including Phat Phil that was only rectified when the Afl were caught out and the corresponding shooting off by Sheedy.

Don't expect me to take a rational position because I cannot. I hate what was happening to us and, by extension, I hope he is not successful. Call it tribalism.

Did Rolf Harris play for Melbourne?

Yeah his 8 kicks per game are really damaging...

I don't sneer at Tom Scully so much as I do at Kevin Sheedy.
I remember that clown making jokes about taking Jack Viney off us on top of Scully.

Media types used to fawn over him about him being the 'cunning old fox' and some kind of eccentric genius. His two contributions to GWS (Scully and Izzy Folau) were akin to taking a big pile of money, putting it in a barrel and setting it on fire.

I am a little bit put off about Buddy going to Sydney (they would have been good without him) but one thing that did make me smile was that silly old goat turning up at the 2013 GF wearing his Giants scarf, content in the fact that his tin pot organization was going to poach Franklin. You could just tell that he was trying to set up some hokey photo op with himself and Buddy as he got his GF medal. I wish there were some cameras on him when the news was announced that Buddy wanted nothing to do with him or his team
