Greater Western Sydney Giants [merged]

I hope they get Murphy & Scully 

Carlton and Collingwood losing their best players to GWS would be hilarious. Hopefully as with GC we've got all those we want to keep contracted and well out of Sheeds' grasp.

I think Ramps has Scully coming back to the team he barracked for as a kid via free agency  .

[10 FLAGS]

Melbourne will be in trouble when free agency comes in Trengove will go back to SA and Scully will be chased by every big club in Melbourne (Richmond, Carlton, Collingwood, Essendon and maybe Hawthorn). I expect us to be in that process right up to the eyeballs, free agency is afew years away yet so we will have to wait and see what happens. We should try and prize him away earlier if we can. I understand he is out of contract at the end of 2011.

And likely to re-sign sooner rather than later - he aint going anywhere

It won't give Blues fans much confidence when all Judd can say he hopes Murphy stays. If Murphy doesn't re-sign before the start of the season it'll add more fuel to the fire as it was just early-2010 when "rumours" of names linked to GC were leaked out and were proven correct.

The Age today is saying 3 uncontracted players have been signed up by GWS


"High-profile names out of contract next year and yet to recommit to their clubs include Collingwood trio Dane Swan, Scott Pendlebury and Dale Thomas, Geelong champion Jimmy Bartel, Carlton midfielder Marc Murphy, Melbourne youngster Tom Scully and Brisbane Lions midfielder Daniel Rich."

Sheeds is now sniffing around the Adelaide clubs to poach players to GWS with Taylor Walker in his sights.

God I hope Murphy doesn't re-sign before the start of the season. Ratts also coming out of contract. Lose a few games early...

Wasn't one of Trengove or Scully a mad tiger supporter? 

Make it happen.

[tiger101]

haha lions fans would be going off if they lost Rich to another new club.

Scully was a Tiger supporter.

GWS are offering Scully $850k per year to leave the Dees and move to Western Sydney.

Putting aside any karma if such an event transpired, what the eff is the point of priority picks if they can be snatched away two years later with unrealistic dollars?

Diddums 

Who gives a stuff about Melbourne and GWS

I hope we screw them both and "snatch away" Scull Dog ourselves

Maybe it's just wishful thinking, but I reckon Scully might be holding out to join his beloved Tigers, not the Giants... 

[one-eyed]

3aw whispers tonight claimed 5 players are signed up by GWS.

Ramps is busy trying to make it happen via free agency  .

Scully, Swan, Murphy, Walker (Crows), Walker (Blues) plus one of Rich, Leuenberger or Clark from Brisbane mentioned in relation to GWS. You'd normally dismiss these rumours but given Gold Coast got all but one of the names mentioned this time last year some of those names may be right. At least no Tigers have been named and hopefully it stays that way  unless of course it's someone who we don't care if he goes.
