Tom Scully's next contract

[deedog2]

Tom Scully is now going into his fifth year of a $6,000,000 six year deal.

It will be most interesting to see what happens at the end of his contract. Clearly he is not worth that amount per year, and GWS will have to pay the like of Patton, Hosken-Elliot et.al should they have productive seasons.

I can't see GWS paying him more than $600,000 per season based on his output thus far.

I can definitely see Richmond offering him a contract at the end of his current deal.

In fact, it all works out quite nicely. Took the money and ran to the Giants. Then gets to play for his boyhood club at the age of 26 for the rest of his career.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

135k to compensate what he was overpaid.

 

[Milux]

Inb4 gws trading him back to melbourne for 2016 pick 1.

 

[kirbatron]

GWS will be asking for 4mil back.

 

[Dogsman16]

When does Callan Ward come out of contract. Wonder whether he will be poached back to victoria.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Scully had a good year this season. He will get 400K give and take, maybe fractionally more.

 

[Power Raid]

Freo would be looking to open its cheque book for someone of Scully's ability

No one wants to play for Ross though.

minus 135k to compensate what he was overpaid.

ftfy

 

[Crawb]

Down down prices are down.

 

[Topkent]

Is this one of the rare things melbourne can gloat about

 

[Ian Dunross]

Interesting to see if the man has any honour about him & agrees to stay for unders, given his first contract.

 

[TigerTime88]

Great move for him, also apparently bought a pretty decent place up in Sydney, which would have gone up a heap in $$$ over the last six years given what the market has done.

I wouldn't say no to bringing him home, but it's really hard to judge what he is worth now.

[StillWaiting5689]

if he doesn't play for free in the next contract then he is screwing over GWS.

 

[Yeti]

He would be best 22 in any team. One of the last picked, but he is a solid player.

I would expect he takes a contract of 300k-400k a year, signed early.

If GWS want him to take under 300k, I believe he will entertain other options. He didn't go there for anything other than a pay day, why should he stay for unders?

It may drag out for a bit but it will be best for GWS and Scully if he re-signs.

 

[iBeng]

Looking at his stats hes never really done more than 20 touches, .3 goals, 4.5 tackles as averages. Hes not exactly a dominate midfielder, nor a classy finisher/disposer...I dont think he'd see much action in 90% of teams.

Thank you COLA.

Half of Hawthorn wouldnt be on that money. And he would struggle to make the Interchange.

He should refund GWS by offering to play for minimum pay. Who else would want him anyway?

 

[Halftimehero]

-450k

 

[coniglio_number1]

Doubt it would be more than 450k.

Good thing he got most of his money in his first year due to us having 90% first year wages in the first year

 

[tugga]

Would we get his dad as well?

 

[Furn2]

He's Actually a pretty good player now and I think he'll only get better.

If he's bought property in Sydney I'd think he'll stay at gws and try to win a flag

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Won't he just be able to go to the Bulldogs for $7m over 7 years?

"Being bold" I think they call it.

 

[The 747]

He's a professional footballer, why should he take less than market value for his services? If he was no good he would be looking for a job with a couple of AFLPA organised interviews with a job counsellor.

He could go to your mob after his next two contracts.
