Tom Scully to Richmond in 3-4 years [merged]

[Owl]

LOL think that hope just got bashed on the head.  He has sold his soul to the Afl devil now mate, but for those kinda cookies who wouldn't, he will be set up for life as long as he doesn't go blowing it on hookers and beer.  Now he just needs to buy a big faux Georgian in the west up there with some big a rsed bikie compound gates at the front of it with razor wire and he is set.

The look on Garry Lyon's face on Footy Classified tonight should be priceless. 

Good to see Melbourne supporters on the Demonology forum have taken the news of Scully leaving well 

[TigerTimeII]

one can understand abblet leaving and getting what he is being paid, but scully wtf
karma will screw him and gws

[Eat_em_Alive]

haha yes karma will bite
So glad melbourne took him in the draft and not us

Being paid something like $6m over 6 years with $2m upfront in the first year of a frontloaded contract might have had something to do with Scully going to GWS . The instability off-field at Melbourne would've also been a major factor. Scully would've seen first-hand former captain James MacDonald get pushed out and the infighting between the CEO, footy dept. head and the rest of the footy dept. He was a Tiger supporter so he had no entrenched love of the Dees nor as a 18 year old would he have any connection with Barassi or guernsey #31. Scully would've been about 4 years old the last time Barassi was still involved in football at the Swans. It would've been harder for Ablett to leave Geelong from that perspective than Scully leaving Melbourne after just two years there. Scully knows he heads to GWS where he can be part of creating a new culture and with the AFL given them unlimited $$$, concessions and resources to make GWS a success. In 5 years time there's no guarantee Melbourne will still be financially solvent.

Having been a lifelong TIGER fan, Id go as far as saying he would have re-signed with us  had he been drafted by RFC

[mightytiges]

When he's contract is finished or as a free agent I could see him returning home to Melbourne (the city) and joining us. Ramps will personally welcome him and pick him up at Tullamarine lol.

Hilarious youtube video taking off the song "someone like me" about Tom.  Worth a look see....

2 things on this one:-

Sucked in MFC for tanking in 2009, at the time it cost us, now it cost you.
Tom Scully did himself no favors pretending his visit to GWS last week to tour the facilities was to "make up his mind" - Phil Davis and to a lesser extent Rhys Palmer and Callum Ward at least showed their hand without treating the punter like fools by playing games.
