Also think about the future with Jack Viney. Maybe 23 after James Mcdonald. 11 I think would be great for Gawn.

I heard it is St Kilda that are keen on him. Or were previously.

Do people think every media outlet saying he will go influence his decision? Will he sit there and say na stuff them I'm staying... Hope so

Mark Harvey on Perth radio and Manager also confirmed won't be at Dockers next year.

Davis unlucky more than injury prone but is a big unkown of whether he will be a good player. Showed good signs. Scully has a troublesome knee. Might have a hip issue too, suspect kicking over 30m+ but great work ethic and fitness. Palmer done his knee once, lost a lot of pace and kicking is an issue. Struggle on the big Subiaco ground, would have moved on anyway.

Anyone else read this? http://www.sportsnewsfirst.com.au/articles/2011/09/06/scully-could-be-giants-captain/

StevoHeraldSun Rhys Palmer gone. Certain to join Ward at GWS. Dockers will be delirious with joy if get end of first round pick as compo MArk Stevens Twitter.

GWS won't make the announcements it is when the players tell the clubs then everyone knows in about 20mins after that. GWS will have a press conference maybe tomorrow to make it official. Palmer was gone early.

Massive bump! Genious prediction! But in fairness everyone needed hope that a new coach would bring success. Whoever is the new coach I will cling to the fact he will be a great coach.

Are we sure the Melbourne listed players will be playing at Casey? If so we will soon know who's decision it was to rest them in previous years.

Yeah thats all he said. He just quickly replies to questions, was hurrying through them. They it came across was he was gone will be announced later in the week. Seems strange that Melbourne don't know and he does. Ward knew told the doggies straight away. As soon as Scully tells the club the footy world will know for sure.

Was on the Herald Sun website for Robbo's tackle and got asked about scully, said he will be at GWS and announcement later in the week. Seemed pretty certain to him. Hope my response of basically how do you gets through.

Didn't Roos quit Syndey to come back to Melbourne? I honestly don't know the exact details.

Missed a lot of footy the big rush. Thought his ruck work was very good in most games but didn't have much impact around the ground. Green played most games and was very disappointing.

Wards is on Wednesday. Would expect Scully to take a week if not more if he is actually thinking about it. Would imagine a meeting with Melbourne people to see about coach etc, otherwise his mind is made up.

Stevie Johnson is the rumour but highly inlikely i would have thought.

To look where Davey is you would think he played one game. Molney Sylvia and Jones will prob be top 3 with Trengove and Martin close by. Trengove unlucky to miss those 3 games. Prob shows a bit of Watts biased in those votes. Had a slow start and finished poorly but took massive leaps towards becoming a very good player. Another big preseason and will develop a bigger body.

Jaeger has played a couple of good games in the WAFL, will be ready to go once he can play. Should serious try everything possible to get him.

I would imagine he just has to decide if he is going or staying then will sign a contract with whoever the next couple of days. Who is going to captain GWS? Ward Scully, thats surely why they are looking at power.

Yeah seems he made his mind up a while ago.

This, they have taken a huge risk the AFL. It is more of a marketing project than an AFL team. It will be around no matter what. They have been given a two year window to poach players but will find it just as tough next year as players will see how much they struggle. Expect announcements by the end of the week on unsigned players I would think.

I never blame the umpires, think its an easy way out. If we were good enough we would have won. Having said that the umpiring was dreadful, Decision were horrible. The non mark to Howe even after the umpire belw the whistle to pay it was terrible. Two occasions Motlop and Rodan were tackled dropped the ball and was called play. Blease was tackled for half a second then it slipped down and was legged as he kicked it and was pinned. It wasn't just our game, I watched the Gold Coast v Hawks game and that was terribly over umpired. THe free kick to Johnson was shocking in the last minutes. Then a Suns player was in the action of kicking and was half tackled, still managed to get his boot to the ball and was pinned for holding the ball. Then there was the issue bouncing the ball which in all games seemed a struggle.

Talking this morning to a player manager. Fairly new to game, firstly he has no idea about Scully but said GWS have missed their main targets and pretty much throwing a blank cheque at guys like Scully and Ward, who at the start of the year weren't high targets. Also he said Merric Buchanan (spelling maybe wrong) will be a gun and should look at. He is also a gun Australian U/19 cricketer. Brother of the Brisbane bloke.

Shocking free kick. Umpiring was horrible all game which made the game hard to watch. Johnson was average and wont play again for the hawks bar injuries. Bruce was good, finally being played forward which looks his best spot.
