does anyone think We ever made a play for Scully.

These days i dont think it matters who they grew up following, this game is a business now and come Free agency it will be even worse.

Player will declare their hand come mid year they are leaving and supporters will have to put up with it

Surprised no-one has pasted the article about Scully going up and looking at the GWS facility's

TOM Scully is expected to visit Greater Western Sydney facilities in the next 72 hours.

Scully completed two days of season reviews and is not officially required at Melbourne, so a decision on his future is imminent.

LOL Hutchy at Tullamarine stalking the whole Scully family and Tom trying to get into the Platinum queue to get away from him :lol

Scully told Hutchy he hasn't made a decision but if you were fully committed to your current club then why would you fly up to check out GWS.

Seen that on the news. He also said he was going up there with an open mind.
Which is also a worrying statement for the demons.

i dont know whats worrying Tiger.

I believe Demons are quietly confident of 2 first round draft picks and therefore a Scully loss doesnt seem so bad after all.

Whats he played 30 games

No wonder the Cleaners at Tulla are refusing to empty the bins this weekend, picking up the one with Hutchy in it you'd do a nasty injury I reckon  ;D

Worrying probably wasn't the right word. I should of said.
Demon fans that want him to stay would have to be less confident in him staying by hearing comments like that.

But your also right about the compensation given his knee troubles. Who knows if they get 2 first rounds they could snare them selves that big key forward Watts doesn't seem to be turning out to be with one.
