Anyone hear rumour of Towner to Brissy? Just seen it on Twitter but I thin it was from Nixon so not sure of accuracy!

So to summarise:
- Tigs and GCS are in discussions with draft picks and a young player, hoping Brodie or Schrimshaw
- Scully a Hawk or Tiger at this stage. We can't offer as much but we are keen as mustard
- Us as supporters thinking we may be going for Burton but nothing confirmed as yet
- Lloyd probably off to Dogs and we are waiting to see if we only get a draft pick or if we can entertain a player swap and give something more in return
- Stengle will move to Crows at some stage, not sure what we will receive
- Townsend being considered or been offered to Lions for a possible swap of players
- Zac Clarke as a rookie but probably be picked up before we have a chance to
- Ellis hope he stays. Over people wanting to get rid of him when we need cover with all the outs. He annoys most of us but can play and he has been handy over the years. If anychance he is leaving, we need something very decent in return.

Scully took a massive pay cut in 2016 to help GWS keep players...that says a lot too

- They seem to think Scully getting to Hawks for pick 35 potentially on trade radio.
I have no issue getting Scrimshaw in and Scully and trading others out if need be.
We can backload some of this and I can see a number of players that could be traded out and or retire in the years ahead!!
Geez, if Scully was an option at 35 one would go after Setterfield as well if he is actually going. I could see Setterfield staying though at GWS if others are leaving now and that might not be a bad thing for GWS either tbh.
I think RFC have a number of players coming out of contract in 2019 and 2020.

I agree however if someone says im leaving for success and goes to a team that has less chance of that based on where their football clubs sits (not where it sat previously) then i would presume the driving factor for the $$$. So its really not nuts when you look at the situation for what it is. If he says i want to work under Clarko then thats good enough for alot of people. But success? U dont have to be Einstein to put 2 and 2 together

Has to be a pretty decent difference between our offer to Scully and Hawthorns. Otherwise if he’s after going to a premiership contender I think it’s fair to say that we are a lot closer.

So you would take a bloke who doesnt want to be at your club because you can satisfy the other club?
FFS we arent Carlton or St Kilda where we will take anyone. We came off a premiership and then finished top of the ladder. We have just added one of the best forwards in the league to our squad so if thats not enough for someone to make us their choice then why would you go there?
I want Scully just as much as the next bloke but on the condition that he wants to be there and wasnt forced there.

Nixon is the biggest flog of all time.
He said who ever wins the first 10 mins of the granny will win comfortably. When he was questioned about it he blocked the person.

Well if your getting Scully in this situation one would be stupid to offer a short term deal!!!
If Scully is only worth a short term he is not worth taking.
Longer term creates scope for backloading

If it's true that Scully's management has indicated he would like to play for a team closer to a Premiership (obviously shutting down St Kilda), I honestly can't think of another Victorian club that's a realistic chance or at least nearing their window.
We're the flag favourites at the moment - he won't return to the Demons, Collingwood is out of the equation (Beams), Hawthorn are not a Premiership contender and can't see Geelong being interested.
He's taken a paycut before at GWS for the betterment of the list, so if he really wants to move back to Victoria and play for Premierships, there's really only one club that makes sense...
Also he was a Richmond fan, no brainer.

3 years will do with triggers for a 4th is plenty
If his main asset is his running he’s going to start slowing down soon would be silly to offer him anything long term
5 year deal or 4 year deal isn't short....

then he is not worth getting except if the trade pick is negligible. I thought he was more about endurance not pace anyway?

I find it hard to believe that GWS will accept a late pick for Scully

I agree with you and I had my run ins with him and been blocked by him too. I don’t think he knows anything and I’ve told him as much in the past but just thought I would ask if anyone had heard anything just in case!

RFC looks like they made an offield blunder here.
One would sign Scully before renewing Grigg and Houli on face value if Scully leaves for a late pick
