Who gives a stuff.

This thread should be not on our web site.

When I read the title I thought you were referring to Tommy McD.

    The OX on SEN hinted that we might make a play for Scully after his contract expired.

    Putting emotions aside for a moment. Its a no. Why not target someone who will make a difference?

    With emotions involved, he can get stuffed.

    Thread title needs to be changed. I also thought Tmac was injured.

    just a bit of Schadenfreude

    http://www.gwsgiants.com.au/news/2015-02-23/scully-to-miss-intraclub

    missed 7 games last year and didn't feature in the top10 of the BnF

    They are probably more likely to miss Tim Mohr (recruited from Casey right under our nose)!

    After reading the Jim Stynes book, and reading what Tom said/did, I can only say one word about it: karma.

    Karma will come with his delisting or being offered a rookie contract for peanuts

    In all honesty what will it take for Tom Scullys name to never appear on this website ever again? It is way past time to move on

    Scully's a living Melbourne legend compared to that disloyal f log in Clark.

    Both will live in infamy

    PS Scully's 2015 average supercoach ranking rates him as 191st best player in the comp, GWS' 10th overall

    Thought this had something to do with Tom Mac visiting the Cadbury factory or something.

    Instead it's about that twerp that we were going to give an blank check to. Lord, what a good thing he did by leaving us. They end up with Scummo and Phat Phil, we end up with Tyson and Hogan.

    I'll shake that overpaid hacks hand if we ever meet.

    It was a big win for MFC, one of the few we have enjoyed in recent years. Good luck to the guy, he has set himself up for life. Just shows the national draft system is a dud.

    I don't get why people still have their knickers in a bunch about Scully. He accepted the offer of a lifetime, which nobody in their right mind would have knocked back given how short the average AFL career is. Look at Trengove - we all admire his loyalty, but he could well be out of the game by the end of the season, and what are his income prospects for the rest of his life? And with two first round picks in return, we hardly lost out over the deal.

    Who cares if Scully said he was staying during the season? He could have said he was leaving, but do we really want to operate like the NRL where half the team has signed to play elsewhere by mid season? Franklin supposedly met with Sydney the day after Hawthorn lost the 2012 GF, but it didn't stop him being a decent player in 2013.

    It's more about HOW he did it P.

    He is still very high on my dislike list.

    Geezuz thought this was about Tom Mc

    Seriously move on people. TS got offered too much money (not his fault), we got paid overs for the compo (regardless of how we used it) and we didn't need to cough up huge coin to keep him (which we were going to do via 3rd party arrangements that got shot down).

    I'd rather the current reality to one where we kept an overrated player.

    How would you have done it?

    Players in this environment have no viable choice but to lie in my opinion.

    Re-read Scully's first presser when he went in front of the camera's - I want to be a one club player and anticipate this will be the case - look at how he responded when asked how can he resist a huge money overture...Read Jimmy's book and see what he said to him

    I have no problem with him talking the deal of the lifetime - but I disagree with he had no other choice- he didn't need to lie.

    GAJ to me is the model I would take where you don't lie

    GAJ steadfastly refused to buy in and for this I admired him. He continually refused to answer any questions whatsoever except to say I will make my decision at the end of the season.

    It drove Bomber Thompson mad and I am sure the cat supporters were apoplectic as we on Demonland would have been.

    If you want to explore free agency or a put contract talks on hold, keep schtum....say nothing.. "I will make my decision at seasons end" - good enough for me. You don't need to lie.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
