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

  • Quote

    brad green is a tool as well

    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.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.
