I'm one of those who are concerned that he'll be taken by another side (as I have been since he was first drafted). But thinking about it, Scully is supposed to be one of the most fanatic AFL players out there - a premiership has been his dream since he was at auskick age. He MAY see that as more important than doubling his salary (yeah right, would any of you guys?). Besides, GC and GWS will be very good sides by their third or fourth years - our future nemesis sides - so their may be a lure there as well.
That aside, the fact that the club are yet to sign him should be a big concern - they have obviously been trying to do so for a while now (ever since they convinced Trengove to extend his contract to three years, anyone??), but so far, no dice. Then there's the fact that GWS are talking to him/his management. Yet he is still to sign.
Management are supposed to be practical. Yes, they do go for the best deal, but they are also aware of the risks of holding out to sign. What if he does a knee before the season's end? What does that do to his value?
No, it should be obvious to us all. If he hasn't signed by round one, he's already decided to leave. The GC experience should have taught us all how it will go.
Just my opinion!! Calm down (in advance).
