It's a real shame, but the club has done everything it possibly can do for this kid at this stage. 4 years later he's obviously still not sure whether or not he wants to be an AFL footballer. Life doesn't wait around for you. I'm sure the club will continue to support him. Good luck Aussie!

Unbelievable! Melb finally gets their man. This guy was borderline superstar a year ago. Pick 12 in a week draft. Take that.

Amazing news. One of the best in the business.

I'm loving his direct no BS approach. He obviously demands and expects the best. Be interested in how many names he left off that best 22. We've been guilty of overrating our list and I'm sure he's come in and pointed out exactly why we are not where we need to be.

Just announced: Mark Harvey to come out of retirement to play for GWS.

"it's been a big week in football".

Ah J-Mac. I love the guy, but this just shows the makings of a man who doesn't know when to call it quits. The only reason his "retirement" was undignified was because he was unhappy about it. He didnt know the writing was on the wall and the club had to tell him. Now he wants to pull the boots on next year? Come on Jimmy.

Surely not.

Our boys in the forward line will grow. We need another midfielder or 2. Theres no point having forwards when we have 20 less inside 50s than the opposition most matches.

Having Jim Stynes defend his integrity when he has been lying to everyones face for a year makes me absolutely sick. The kid has shown no class at all. He better have a big target on his back when we play him next year.

ITS OFFICIAL: DemonsHQ Melbourne FC As you have probably seen/heard Tom Scully is going to GWS. The Club was advised a short time ago and will respond later today.

Its a disgusting situation of course, they forgot how much of a shark Sheedy can be. BUT remember Dustin Martin said no, so it says a lot about Scully's character (or lack of). I'd say it's also a sign of how far we have plummeted, but make no mistake, this was all organized last year, when the club and supporters were very optimistic about the future. And he was gone then. He only cares about the cash guys. Thats why he is such a "professional".

If i hear any excuse other than money in the presser i will throw a brick through my TV. I'm looking forward to waving my wallet at him when hes walking up the MCG boundary line next time.

Shattered. It's a black day for the club. It's downright embarrasing.

Did the china trip fall in the window GWS had last year to approach players?

What else makes me sick is GWS in general. What a smug bunch of operators. A bunch of hasbeen coaches and administrators waving around the AFLs money, demanding respect. Gold coast showed how to arrive with class and dignity. GWS are just sharks.

It's a disgusting situation. He should have just come out on monday and said it. Another attempt to repair his reputation blows up in his face. Blucher is a very poor manager. The whole situation has been a Disaster for everyone involved. I really feel sorry for people like stynes, scwhab, Lyon and the playing group who have really stuck their neck out for this kid. Defended his integrity at every crazy turn of this saga. Even if that one in a million chance he is staying (which he is not) what an insult to the club and fans you HAVE to check out someone roses backyard in the first place when you "love Melbourne", "important to be a one club player" etc etc. Looking forward to playing GWS next year.

There are Many variations of how it is gonna happen, but the common theme Is it IS happening. Surely every newspaper in the country can't be wrong?

Well that Just blows a big hole in MMM reporting He is In Sydney.

Just heard on MMM that he has been up in Sydney the last day now, in the background of all the ward announcements etc. Expected to be announced in Sydney on Monday as a GWS player.

My only regret from all this garbage is I didn't make a tom scully iPhone app. I would have made a killing!

The Sydney visit? God this is becoming such a charade. I know he is a focused young man, but to give out the impression that he was blocked his ears all year to this and Is starting the process now is just too unbelievable. I love the kid but "i DONT believe tom".

Ive gotta agree with Schwartz. He is a 2 percent chance of staying.

My mail is Gavin Brown.

A rumour I've heard is Gavin Brown is going to be the man.
