    Does anyone know what Damian Barrett told about Scully in footy show tonight

    pretty much nothing..

    just said we won't know until the end of the year (wow.. really?)

    and that GWS submitted 3-4 contracts at the end of last year to the AFL and one of those "might" be his

    so once again..

    pretty much nothing!

    people need to remember that TOM HASN'T DEMANDED A THING!!!! the offers are from the MFC and what they think he's worth. I know for a fact he's not very keen on third party deals and opportunity that other players are getting because he wants to be only one player at the club not the only player at the club.

    If everyone respected his decision to wait until the end of the season then this wouldn't of happened. The MFC only have themselves to blame for making an offer at the Hall of Fame dinner.

    love your work Wolfmother! Have you spoken to Tom recently? what are your thoughts on where he will go/leaning towards?

    was it Scully or Ward that they said had a birthday party and hardly any of his team mates were actually there? I kind of missed the start of that..but faily sure they said it was Scully

    did anyone see in the herald sun that Davey and another 'young leader of the club' (maybe Grimes or Jones I am guessing?) plan to sit down with Scully and confront him about what he is thinking, etc? If so, that is a great idea.. worth a shot!

    Pendelbury is not a moron.

    You think he'd come across for less than $10mil over 6 years if Scully is being offered $7mil?

    ahh.. i never said that??

    what i was getting at is if they only have 5 uncontracted players plus a list full of bottom wage rookies.. you could pay scully and ward the majority of their salaries in the first year.. that way they can still offer massive contracts to players (like pendles) next year because most of scully and ward's contract have been paid in the first year!

    if Barrett is right.. and GWS are only targeting 5 players this year and will target the rest next year.. you would think they would front load the crap out of scully and ward's contract so they have plenty to spend the years after on players like Pendles, etc

    I think you will find there wouldn't have been a problem if "anchor" had said that a foundation member has said those things at the lunch but I too read the post and gulped as it was clearly insinuated that Sheedy, the CEO and Dipper (it should have rung alarm bells when his named was mentioned !) had said those things to the lunch.

    Dipper having an inside word is definitely funny haha

    Try and spin it any way you like to cover yourself, but in your first post you said that Sheedy and the CEO of GWS told you that they are confident that Scully will go to GWS. You later said that you did not even speak to them. To fabricate a conversation with Kevin Sheedy and the CEO about the future of Tom Scully when it didn’t happen is a straight out lie. I don’t think that people that make up things like this should be allowed to post.

    and what if he is telling the truth??

    then you are banning a fellow Melbourne supporter because he decided to share something with the rest of us.. great culture here guys

    And that's why I went to the effort of correcting the (potentially) misleading part of my first post. What I have written above is a boringly accurate statement of what occurred on the night. It is my belief, reasonably founded, that the CEO made these remarks to my friends in the context of the GWS Coterie. I have specifically stated that I don't know whether those remarks are factually correct, just that they were made.

    If I had been sufficiently petty, I could have asked him to make those comments directly to me so as to appease some people on Demonland who, whilst I suspect don't actually know the probative value of hearsay in an evidential sense, would seemingly feel that this 'rumour' may be more worthy of being posted. That said, in good faith I posted it thinking it might be interesting to some of you. Clearly it is not interesting to some of you - my apologies. Not everything I read on this site is particularly interesting/immpressive to me either, but I avoid becoming hostile towards other posters (as laughably easy as that would be) - perhaps because I'd like to think we all share the same common goal.

    And just to give you the heads up on hearsay and rumours - virtually everything that is posted on this site is, in some way or another, hearsay. If we could only post concluded facts on this site, there probably wouldn't be a forum at all.

    I have also heard a similar 'rumour' from two other sources, but because of the exacting reporting requirements clearly demanded here (ironic really given the quality of much of the writing), I will refrain from posting any more hearsay on the topic.

    As an aside, like all of you, I want Scully to play 350 games for this club.

    I have to agree with you! I enjoy reading Demonland to hear some of the 'sources' people have.. granted a lot of them probably are B.S.. but i dont see why people crack it at them for bringing something to the table that might be true! just because the rumours arent always what we want to hear.. doesnt mean we have to blast fellow melbourne supporters! we are all on the same side.. we all go for the dees.. and we all want scully to stay! I want to trust scully and from what I have seen he seems like a fairly honest guy!

    please dont hold back posting rumours.. it makes the thread interesting!!

    The Tom Scully Saga

    This is another "friend of a friend" story.. but apparently Scully absolutely loves Stynes.. apparently he is like his hero these days. They said he has a poster of him in his room and also has all of these letters from Jimmy around his room that Jimmy has written for him. The fact that Jimmy sat down with him and asked him face to face and he denied that he has been approached is pretty full on. Scully has a reputation as being loyal, so that is pretty messed up if he still leaves!

    on a side note they also said that on Scully's calendar he has every meal planned out for the entire month.. he is a complete health freak as we already know.

    can you really see Spence or Fitz being the answer for us down the track? They havent showed that much to get excited about..

    At least we can play Gorringe in the ruck or forward (which is perfect with the new interchange rules!)

    Bring on the Gorringe!!
