Very good year for Col.

Finished 3rd in the Demonology Player of the Year, and people know their footy over there.

If anyone thinks he had a bad year or he wont get even better in 2009, then just leave the board immediately as you are embarassing yourselves.

Y_M (or S_P) when does your ban lift on bigfooty?

    Never, they banned me forever.

    Not sure anyone knows that besides you. I think the faithful are waiting for my return, but its impossible.

    In the Yze_magic player of the year, he finished 15th.

    Sylvia finished 2nd behind Green.

    Colin is one of those guys who is always "almost there" but not quite.

    He does have the talent to succeed - DOES HE HAVE THE WILL???

    over to you Col - we would all just love to see you meet the high expwctations that have been laid upon you.

    Ferg was a dud and MFC held onto him too long.

    I disagree. And so did the Hawks, who wanted to trade trade for him, but he wouldn't go! Go figure.

    At least he played bravely. When was the last time Sylvia backed into a pack? Watch him, before a pending contest, he always has a look around.

    Anyway, I have been a critic of Sylvia, but I think his last third of the season got progressively better. As such, I would be happy to keep him. At least his trade value would have gone up.

    (Errors like the nonchalant up and under in the backline against the bombers are the sort of things that worry me now.)

    In the same game where he made one poor kicking error, he backed back into a pack to take a gusty mark and then kicked truly.

    If you are gonna highlight his one mistake in that game, how about you highight all the good things he did as well?

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
