Welcome Welcome to Hawthorn Tom Scully. Congratulations for finally making it onto an AFL list!

Yep, just like Hodge and Mitchell.
And Brereton before them.

Traitors, the lot of them.

Don’t forget that snake, Peter Hudson! Glenorchy indeed.

And Gary Ablett Snr took the millions on offer to play in Myrtleford.

To be fair, that's not where the guy is coming from and I kind of see his point. He shafted Melbourne to get the move to GWS. So be it I guess, a player has the right to look after himself.

Scully left Melbourne in very different circumstances to the three legends you mentioned above though. Mitchell and Brereton were no longer wanted by the club. The Hodge situation was a bit more murky. But none of them shafted the club and we got the best football form all three. If anything, it is fair to say the club crapped on Brereton in the end. Melbourne rightly feel they had put a lot of capital into Scully and lost him entering his prime.

The guy's point of view has some validity. But then, so did Scully's at the time.

Melbourne destroyed many careers. Hats off to anyone who has the sense to leave a club like that.

BB. Speaks well.

Leaves you feeling confident we chose the right man to be captain.

He is a natural. People are drawn to that.

Also a fair comment.

Whoever replaces Scully has to have a better impact. l don't care who it is but he's gotta give
us more than the retired lightweight.

I did some research a few years ago - amazing how many round one pics they either butchered or failed to develop...

My father passed away earlier this year and just before his 80th birthday last year he went out to Waverley park and met with some of the players. I wasn't aware Marnus Labushagne played for Hawthorn:
