Oh, & buy the weigh.  I hope Oliver gets his chance this week,  & ragdolls $cully,  just for the fun of the fair.

Not victim mentality. The way I read some of the posts in this thread, people see it as a giant dose of karma for him.

Victim mentality implies that people think they are hard done by and suffering. The posts are all saying we are better off because of what happened.

Where's the karma? He's not included in the GWS leadership group. Big deal. Neither is Mumford, so is that a dose of karma for him leaving the Swans, or was it delayed karma for leaving Geelong?

Scully left Melbourne for an insane contract. Get over it.

Wonder if this a precursor to him being dumped from the 22, at some stage during the season.

What is with the cranky pants? If you actually read my earlier post, I didn't whinge about him taking the cash. I said it was a good thing for the Dees.

Besides, if you think this entire thread is a waste of space and time, why are you reading it? Nobody is forcing you to.

I wonder if its a bit more than?   looking into the distance?  I don't think he'll remaIN  a 2 club player.

Whitfield, Kelly and Steele should comfortably overtake him for that third rotation in the midfield.

Devon Smith has been pushing up into the midfield, and Reece Palmer is a better midfielder than Scully.

Even this year I don't see a position for Scully, it is just that he is contracted, so they have to play him, he has no trade value.

you'd have to think he's found himself in the non certainty pile these days, few good mids up that way

$1million a year - no Brownlow votes, no best and fairest wins, not in leadership group, never been close to AA. What a joke.

He's always cranky pants.  Get used to it.

As for Scully - it's just further proof of what we already knew really.  Seeing him dumped from their leadership group is not a surprise.

YAAAWWWWNNN. Do the exact same job with a 300% pay rise locked in for 5 years? Every single one of you would have done exactly the same thing Tom did, so I don't understand why people have still got their panties in a bunch about the whole issue.

 

 

But did you lie to a cancwr suffering Jim Stynes and say you wouldnt?

LOL picked up and threw the little maggot like he was nothing.

Which is exactly what he is - nothing.

If he was nothing, you wouldn't have even bothered to comment, surely.

Funny to see that. I posted it on YouTube like 3 years ago. I guess classics never get old.

The bigger surprise was that he was in a leadership group to begin with.

At the end of the year,it will be scully who!!!!! How does he get paid so so much beats me.

That may be so.  His football career will be forever marked by dollars, not what he achieved as a player. He does not give a [censored] however, there is a long list of players that did not and have not done what Scully did, we are not all driven by the poxy dollar.

Scully seems such a long time ago. He is such old news. I am so far past caring about Tom Scully is does not matter. Let's get excited about your current crop of young players. That's worthwhile. Brayshaw, Hogan, Petracca, Oliver, Salem, Gawn, Viney, Stretch. Vanders etc. that's exciting. Tom who?

The majority of young talented kids turned them down.

Dees by 17 points (has anybody said this yet). On a side track I'm in Shanghai atm. I'm going to watch the game at the big bamboo ( i kid you not). Any other ex pats  likely to join me?

I'm in Beijing and I'll be watching at Paddy O'Shea's or The Den. I'll have a celebratory pint with you in spirit! God it's hard being so far away when things are looking so bright for such a long time.

Scully's proved to be a gem of a marquee signing.

 

For most people it wasn't WHAT he did, it was HOW he did it.  Maybe he felt the rules forced him to treat the public like fools, but some of the outright lies he told were just stupid.

GWS must surely regret the investment and oversized contract.  The Bulldogs might do the same in a few years regarding Boyd.

At the time Robert Walls wrote an article telling Scully to take the $$ because what GWS was offering was a ridiculous amount & Scully would only ever be a good ordinary player.

For what GWS offered up they should have got a player of the calibre of Swan, Pendlebury or Dangerfield.

Pretty much how I feel. If he'd said something like "the situation is guys that I'm getting offered a once-in-a-lifetime deal. That, apart from the money, also includes a clause that no ruckman will regurgitate on me. So I'm going to have to seriously consider taking it" then who would begrudge him? 

Whilst I didn't like the way it was handled, I take into account that he was a very inexperienced, introverted and probably poorly advised, young man in a very strange situation. So I will cut him some slack....BUT STILL BOO HIM.

Sheedy should be pretty embarrassed if his ego would allow it - which it won't
