If you remember he's only played 1 game last year and had some knee problems so it is a risk to get someone who may not lineup for the team, maybe GWS has some medical knowledge that he was going to play restricted games due to the problems

    Will be fascinating to see how the Hawks get Wingard and Scully.  Still after that Hannebury trade I'll believe anything!

    Contrast the way that the Geelong supporters handled Ablett's departure, versus the way our supporters handle Scully's departure.

    During his time here, we were a rabble.  Senior players and staff used to pull Scully down with the "over-training" accusation, rather than seeing that a 19 year old was actually setting decent training standards.

    Why would he come back here, playing for supporters that really have half a brain.

     

    Clarko is on the money.  Scully has had his pay-day and will now accept unders.  Clarko is reaping the rewards of trading out dead wood when it should happen; not 3 years after.

    Ablett was instrumental in getting the GFC it’s long awaited premiership. Son of a club legend.

    Everything you say about Melbourne being a rabble at the time $cully was at the club would be most certainly true. Also his standards for training would be the same however....

    A lot of us on this site are questioning him as a human being not a footballer. Liars are not my favourite kind of people. 

    As for “supporters that really have half a brain” I would instead say many of them have honesty  and loyalty as a standard in their lives. EG: We love our club. 

    Yes Clarko is the smartest and the best coach going around, but on this occasion for me, he is welcome to the $culldog.

    Hawks very smart, give up Burton and a couple of mid teen first round picks and land Scully / Wingard, draft picks are hit and miss, established players are not. 

    Back into premiership contention IMO.

    Giants happy to accept an early second round.... 

    5&23 for hogan 

    so for hogan we’d get May, Kolo and Scully potentially. Fills 2 major holes and we are a massive show for the flag.

    If we get what we want for Hogan I'd say May & Scully will both be at Melbourne next year.

    To us?!?

    Balls14 doesn't have an extensive posting history but appears to be a normal fan with no history of big noting.

    Scully coming back would break these servers forever.

    It's a shame it's Scully as he's the exact type of player we need.

    I doubt, after the fall out of him leaving all those years ago, that he would want to come back here or feel comfortable doing so.

    The Saints are now expressing interest in Voldemort.

    If he was upset at the party atmosphere at Melbourne, I wonder if he has heard of a little thing called the Saints Disco?

    yeah but within a week we'd be killing the fattened calf and telling the story of the return of the prodigal son.

    Memories are short whatever people like to think

    The Giants must be in serious Cap trouble if they have to unload Scully for a "relatively late pick" with Shiel leaving as well. Happy that the throwing around of money has bit them on the bum.

    Not a chance he is coming back.

    Agree that he is exactly what we need and we in turn fit what he is looking for in a team within the premiership window but there is just too much bad blood. This is not even remotely like Ablett returning to Geelong.

    'Satisfied' with his medical suggests that he may take some time to get back to full fitness.  I can't see GWS off loading Scully, who is apparently only on 500k next year, for peanuts if they don't believe there is a potentially serious issue with his ankle.

    All this does is give them the ability to keep Kelly and Weitfield which is bad for us.

    Scully [censored] us again!

    All I will say at this stage is what I was told yesterday morning:

    1. Scully was also told the same thing as Dylan Shiel. Scully didnt take kindly to this. GWS still need to clear cap space.

    2. Scully's put the feelers out. We were keen.

    3. This was discussed by people within the club yesterday with little resistance. Only one person with in management was dead set against the idea.

    4. Three way trade involving Fremantle, GWS & Melbourne had preliminary discussions after the initial Fremantle offer for Hogan was declined. Lobb, Scully, Hogan and a flurry of picks have been discussed. Melbourne are trying to get their hands on 5 (which is public knowledge) to get May done and GWS are looking to find a suitable deal to clear Scully off their books. 

    5. Hawthorn have been deep into Scully for two weeks now and have had discussions with Hawthorn about a trade. GWS dont think Hawthorn have the currency to suffice them.

    no doubt that they had identified the last two years for premierships and that next year was a bonus.

    and of course Lobb is going as well... that's $2M to $2.5M and no one coming in of note

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
