Go Dees! What a big quarter that was. Finally a win!

I was at the game and I had more fun looking at the pigeons flying around for most of the game. Seriously, it was a bad game by both teams. I also went to the Saints and Bombers game last night and noticed how much faster both teams were in comparison. We are so slow! I could only look on and think we have such a long way to go to get anywhere near that level!

Ridiculous thread! I think you will be mincing your words.

I agree with what you're saying but at the end of the day they are paid to do a job and do it properly. Losing by 186 points is unbelievable! They humiliated themselves, the MFC, its supporters and scribbled us into history for all the wrong reasons. If they don't want to play for us, then they can elect to be traded or leave. Gosh, they have enough money at their age! No more excuses. The only person they got it wrong was with Junior. That was their biggest mistake. He was a good leader.

I want to thank you lads for making this one of the funniest threads I've read in a long time. You had me crying with laughter. That artwork is Gold!

Mick certainly has a lot of respect for him. The way he spoke about him on SEN certainly reassures me we got the right person to lead the MFC to great things to come.

Seconded

Sorry..yes I did. I read too quickly. :-) '

Neeld has been a senior assistant for 4 years under Malthouse. At some stage he was going to step up..as everybody does at some point in their career. He is held in high regard by the Pies and by Malthouse. Whilst I would have been happy if were able to snag a top coach like Malthouse, I'm happy that we have Neeld. Negativity will get us nowhere. He has very good experience at a team that is in the finals second year running. Let's not be so dismissive. The MFC know what needs to be done and know that they need the supporters behind them all the way.

I'm glad this is finally over. ! I think the MFC would have been crazy to pay so much money for a player who has yet to prove himself. In the end things will work out one way or another. I hope when we make the finals in a few years time and Scully and his $$ buddies are sitting on the bottom of the ladder, he might look back and see that money doesn't buy you everything!

We can't match the $$. I don't know how the other players would feel playing against someone who has been given so much more to play without proving himself. I'm sure it would leave a bit of sour taste in their mouths. The word is 'lose' not 'loose'.

The decision isn't so hard to make and surely he would know by now which direction he wants his career to take. Take the money and play with a team that will struggle for years or stay with the MFC and potentially be playing finals in a few years time. Money can't buy you a premiership. If it is true what they say about Scully being so determined to be a great footballer, then surely going to GWS isn't a great career move. Once you earn a certain amount of money, how much more do you really need to live comfortably? Money does not = quality and a fulfilling life. People who have much less are generally much happier.

At this stage I don't care if he stays or if he goes. The writing on the wall says he's gone but I'm still waiting for him to confront the media and announce it himself. This has dragged on for far too long for anyone's liking. For Scully, it's his reputation that has been damaged throughout all of this and that is hard to earn back. Of course, if he signs with MFC, then I think he'll earn it back but I think most of us feel a little used along the way. He has lost the support of the fans though I know most of us are sitting on the fence...and if he re-signed we would be jumping out of our seats with joy. I'm sure the ending will be an anti-climax! Sheedy and Demetriou will be rubbing their hands together and laughing at how easy it was to poach the No.1 draft pick. However, I still have my fingers crossed!
