You risk wasting a draft pick if you get Lovey as if he is naughty he may end up hurt or in jail.

Colin Sylvia as a straight swap would be worth it.

Sylvia is the Ds version of Courtney Johns without the major injuries but with the niggling ones.

your a twit mate! colin is just starting to get going while lovett won an anzac medal and made us all think he is going to be a superstar! no instead he bashes girls and gets [censored] the night before training!

sylvias hardness>>>>> lovetts pussyness

    ? Can you name a non-Essendon or Collingwood player that has! :wacko:

    Just pointing out Lovett has proven himself to be a watch winner at AFL.

    Has Sylvia even played in a winning Demons team?

    Don't think we'll be looking for another off-field problem. But I do like the way he plays.

    That sums it up nicely Titan.

    How many watches has he won?

    25 matches won for Sylvia, 20 wins for Lovett. Given Sylvia started a year earlier i'll take ALL of his 2004 wins away.

    Sylvia wins 24 to Lovett's 20

    I can count 3 this year for a start...... which maybe close to someone's IQ.

    Slyvia isn't a hard player, he is a sniper and has no football brain.

    He goes in when it suits him and as a footballer Lovett is actually a better player than Slyvia.

    If you think Slyvia is just starting to get going you'll be disappointed and be in tears cause he's not going to get better. He is the Ds version of Coutney Johns and all his fans make up all these excuses, fact is he and Courtney will be great second/third tier league players. Can't cut it at AFL level.

    Incorrect.

    Yes, I think Diamond Jim has a screw loose if he thinks Sylvia isn't hard at the ball and the man. Courtney Johns is already on the scrap heap as far as I'm concerned. And for the record, Sylvia has been a better player than Johns already.

    If you think Sylvia can't cut it at AFL level, you're sadly mistaken. He is already cutting it up Jimbo. And as for Lovett, he hasn't got long to go until he drifts off into the sunset.

    Sylvia is the Ds version of Courtney Johns -all show and no go.

    Lovett is a much better footballer and Sylvia as trade bait should be considered but I think all the AFL sides think the same as I do with him.

    You decide. Season 2008 is an accurate reflection of where both players are at. It shows Sylvia is on the improve where as Lovett was steady but had only 22 scoring shots - down on his previous 3 years. Sylvia was up even though Bailey played him down back earlier in the season.

    I'm warming to the prospect of Lovett each day

    we need pace and a ruckman, and somehow we've got to get Vickery in the draft. get another first round pick. then get blease with 17 or zaharakis. but lovett would bolster the stocks, and we could trade to get him

  • Quote

    Lovett is a tool! The guy's head is messed up. Let someone else take a risk on him.

  • Quote

    i don't care if he's a tool

    coling sylvia is a massive tool and a woman basher...still at our club.

    brad green is a tool as well, but still like him as a footy player. im not mates with these people..they're footy players

    why the hate on Brad Green ? What has he ever done ??

  • Quote

    A switched on Andrew Lovett playing 22 games next year would be a tremendous acquistion for the club.

    A troubled and undisciplined Andrew Lovett would be a total disaster.

    If the crystal ball told me that Lovett had reformed his ways, then I'd trade pick 19 for him.

  • Quote

    he'll be fine, good mate with aaron davey, he'll settle in nicely.

    green is just a bit of a tool..v big ego, and can guarentee you that money was an issue in the contract negotiations.

    which is why, as nudgey reported, clubs had offered him more, and the contract was at a stalemate, so they gave him the 3 years.

  • Quote

    No thankyou!

  • Quote

    I'd trade Bell, Bode and Weetra for him. They're young, so they fit in with the Dons' youth policy, but they're not worth much. Sort of a dime-a-dozen trade.

    How dare he bring up money during a contract negatiation.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
