Pennant St Dee

Jimmy my thoughts are with you, Sam and the kids. For their sake take the step back and enjoy your time with them. Your work with the Dees is done, I can not put into words what you have done for me or this club. I had two infant sons when you took over the club and thought there would be no club for them to follow as they grew up. You have without doubt inspired, drawn people together and given us hope. To everyone at Demonland, or anyone who involved in anyway with the club, if we don't take inspiration from this man we are a disgrace. What has come to light over the last week sickens me to the core but as we have seen Jimmy's first thoughts are with the club and apologising that he hasn't done enough. He want's to sort the mess out before sorting himself out. I don't care about Scully, the board in fighting or the players not getting on with admin, board members etc. Lets hope Jimmy recovers but everyone of us owe it to this man and his family. We must continue the fight as jimmy would, forget our differences and move forward. We must all give Jimmy something to be proud of. If we can't do that than I feel very sorry for this club. Jimmy take care brother, worry about Sam and the kids don't worry about the Dees with your inspiration "Tiocfadh Ar Lor"

I have spent the last few months reading all these posts regarding Tom Scully and in all honesty the most pathetic thing about the scenario is not the journalists who are acting on rumour and the Ablett precedence last season. No it is the people on Demonland who are responding to every story, assessing all of Toms action through glasses tinted by their own will he or wont he stay view. It seriously is like a pack of schoolkids or teenage girls in turmoil after breaking up with their childhood sweetheart (this was never more evident then when I read the CRAP on this site after Brad Green appeared on the couch - What an over reaction) Nothing has changed either Tom stays or goes. There is nothing we can do about it, I am a demon supporter who lives in WA and have onlhy briefly spoken with Scully so can not judge him on that. I see him as a level headed 19/20 year old who all assess all options before making the decision that is right for him. That decision and this is just my opinion will not be based solely on the financial package being offered by GWS, the benefits of media and outside endorsement in Victoria will also be taken into account. I want Tom to stay it means so much to the current crop of players to stay together through the next decade, but as we have seen with the Geelong group from the early part of the decade there will be casualties along the way. Maloney, Sprigg and Rahilly all had a place in the Cats best twenty two 2 to 3 years before they really started hitting their straps but all missed out on September success. The same will happen with us who those players will be I do not know but there will be surprises along the way. Lets as Demon supporters remember Tom is not bigger than the club and if he goes than accept it, life goes on next year we will again enter a season anticipating improvement and hope for the best for everybody who wears the red and the blue, I love this club and I have enjoyed the development since Bails stepped in, yes I think we have not leaped forward the way we expected after last season but we are not a club over burdened by a large number of pending retirements and trust me the good times will come, Maybe my expectations are lower than others for this season (although the big losses are concerning). In closing stay on board and forget about the Scully scenario it will end as it ends and when all the dust settles we along with the club will still be here with a future and hopefully he is part of it
