I wonder if Tom Scully realises the division he has caused within the Melbourne supporter group and the unnecessary distraction this ridiculous saga has become .
The Club is always bigger than the individual and Tom Scully should feel quite embarrassed about putting the Club and its 37,000 odd members through this soap opera - regardless of whether he stays or not .
I know he and his management kept saying they wanted to wait until the end of the season but the whole climate of the situation changed early in the season and with that , he and his management should have changed their stance to at least hose down all the speculation .
It seems that Melbourne made him a really good offer a little while ago and all things considered he should have jumped at it . Unless of course there is an offer too good to refuse from GWS .
As an aside , Collingwood's Thomas didn't re-sign until late in the year but there wasn't any circus surrounding him or his management .
If Tom does stay he should have signed on months ago and unless he becomes an out and out star he may be forever remembered the wrong way .
And if he goes most of us ( if not all ) will feel betrayed . Either way he's put an enormous amount of pressure on himself - he could be another John Pitura .
