Our club should be chasing Scully. Who would you rather? Tyson and Nathan Jones on a wing? Or this endurance beast?

I don't care what happened in 2011. People need to get over it.

An outside pacy and skillful winger is what we need and Scully fits the bill. 

 

Pacy and the comps best runner but Scully hasn’t hit a target since he stabbed the knife through us.

Excited to see what Stretch, Baker, Fritsch and Kade Kolo can do on the wings. Until then Vanders can tackle Scully in to the ground

It looks like pick 62 will be the 'hot potato' this year: 

#62. Melbourne (received from North Melbourne as part of trade for Braydon Preuss; received from Sydney for Ryan Clarke; received from Geelong for Gary Rohan; originally received from Brisbane as part of trade for Lincoln McCarthy)

Already changed hands four times!

[Demon Jack 6,859]

With the trades of Kent and Tyson, we now hold picks 36, 46, 54, 62 and 65. 

I imagine that by the end of the trade period, Josh will pull a 'Mahoney' special which will push us higher in the draft.

Hopefully the trade a few of these with Sydney to get their 2 round picks

The rumours re Wingard are pretty brutal, thought I was reading about Watts for a second there

Keeping in mind the number of picks we need to have enough on our list. I take my hat off to the list team who must keep an eye on all the outcomes.

Would be most appropriate for $cully to end up at Whorethorn.  Would give me twice the number of reasons to boo the pox riddled little turd.

Seriously, what kind of culture must Whorethorn be building with a team full of mercenaries, whilst porning off their up and comming players lIke Burton?  I really hope this import led rebuild of Whorethorn is as sucessful as Carlscums latest one and the end up occupying the lowest rungs of the ladder for a loooong time.

Haven't read anything much on Wingard, mainly due lack of interest, but now you have tickled that - any links?

There is a bigfooty write up on him (rumours), I'll try and hunt it down mate or you can look yourself, it'd be on their Port Adelaide board from memory.

Yes "we're a happy team at Whorethorn":

It also states in the article that Garry Lyon is endorsing the trade due to Whorethorn's outstanding record on trades and list management, so hopefully that is putting the kiss of death on them.

Yes Whorethorn have traded well to fill gaps during their premiership window, but what they are doing now is trying to build a new core of a team through trading.  Really hope they are being smug overconfident mugs and it blows up in their face in years to come.

Apparently Scully wants to return to Melbourne and join hawthorn.

Appropriate that [censored] wants to play for them.

How the wheel turns.

He left Melbourne as the best thing since sliced bread.

Who would want to play for crappy old Melbourne when you get more money and success at GWS. 

He would return to Hawthorn as just another professional footballer plying his trade.

Karma.  

No premierships, no medals, just a millionaire!

Very mercenary by him. I would put money on the fact he cannot see a premiership at his fractured and “beloved GWS” so run off to Whorethorn to try and get one before Father Time catches him. Little turd. ? for continued lack of success. Lying to a dying man ?

Says everything about his character. Also the reason your long running thread is still going strong ?

Also there is more sense ( with a little humour ) and less anger at other posters, than the rest of DL.

[Tony Tea 2,806]

Laugh all you like. But Scully at Hawthorn is a better chance of a flag than Scully at GWS.

Its regarded by the perpetrator as being okay.

Many do for money and not even for money.  

Money is a corrupting force and the clubs and players are part of the corruption.

Its not an industry in which ethical and respectful behaviour is found in spades. 

T 

He can call it what he wants.

Not much different to what he said at the airport, that he hadn't committed to GWS yet and was only going up to have a look. Next day a fully professional video came out of him in GWS gear saying he was Giant. 

If people make statements to knowingly deceive others, what are they called?
