Tom Scully left because he wanted a career. He'd have ended up on the scrap heap with the rest of them had he stayed.

I'd have him back in a heartbeat.

    I wouldn't take Scully back and I doubt he breaks into our midfield. He is a shocking kick. Good on Scully for cashing out at the Giants because he didn't achieve much there. Maximised his career earnings and has probably got the most out of himself, even though he has achieved little. He just wasn't very good in the first place. He has sh*t skills and no poise. He is always rushed. We dodged a bullet.

    Injury free and under Clarko I reckon Scully will be an absolute weapon. For that reason alone I want him just so he doesn't end up at the Hawks! And for a pick in the 40s?????

    seems too good to be true...

    is it the ankle issue?

    If not us you would think there would be at least 4 or five other clubs very interested.

    This is rubbish, he was out all of this year injured but was all Aust squad the 2 years before that. He's a very good player and would complement our mid field perfectly

    Tom Scully deserted our club when apparently he told Jimmy he would stay. Left for the almighty $$$ THEN did his ankle which if my info is correct has had two operations to fix! 

    A HUGE NO FROM ME TAINTED MONEY HUNGRY MERCENARY!

    I’m weighing up which is the more bizarre thread, this one or the Harley Bennell thread. Line ball.

    Maybe we could get both $cully and Bennell: trade for Clarrie and Gus. I am sure Ding Dong ? would think that was a fair trade.

    This thread needs more @Supermercado.

    I've just been thinking about how much more interest I'll have in GWS next year when this dead-eyed mercenary plonker is gone.

    Hope he somehow ends up at St Kilda so we can be guaranteed he'll never play in a flag.

    Jake Carlisle spewing on him would be icing on the cake really.

    Classic. Remind us who it was again?

    Oh Ok. So let me get this straight. You guys are all happy to let an All Australian caliber wingman (2017 40 man squad) go a fellow top 4 contender for a ham sandwich at the expense of filling one of our key needs which is outside run, carry, class and goal kicking.

    I guess we’ll all settle for JFk spudding up the MCG southern stand wing next year as most of you can’t build a bridge and get over an incident that happened 7 years ago.

    As much as my heart says no my head says yes if his ankle is good

    the guy ripped our heart out when he deserted to fill his wallet but I agree that he would certainly help fill a void we have with outside run and the thought of the Dorks getting that advantage makes me feel sick

    would be hard no doubt to cheer him like other players who have been loyal but - if it took us closer to an elusive flag why not consider it

    How the [censored] do the hawks keep bending over the comp?! Mitchell for 14, Scully for 40. 

    Its like there is different rules for them

    ITS amazing that Hawthorn just keep plucking talent from other clubs and they give up nothing to get them across. Meanwhile, the MFC is sitting around waiting on the flogs in the West to sort something reasonable out. We have a lot of spots to fill on our list, dunno why we are seemingly sitting on our hands when blokes like this are moving

    Putting aside my total dislike for $cully. Hawthorn are the number one destination club because they have the leagues number 1 coach and a great medical team which $cully might need. 

    In the cold light of day if $cully came back to Melbourne supporters would just have to put up with it. I have no doubt the football department would do what’s best for the club. 

    $cully already knows at least a third of the supporters at Melbourne despise him and surely that would be on his radar.

    They go to the Hawks because they are a succesful club with facilities rather than a public park for a training oval

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
