    Yeah... No-one's mentioned that he's doing that same stretch you see him do just outside the square everytime there's a ruck contest after a goal.

    No doubt reminiscing about Carroll's performance on Mad Monday :unsure:

    Great news!

    Glad we didn't trade Sylvia. He's got a rare commodity that 90% of our list doesn't have - a package of class and skill.

    I reckon our patience will be finally rewarded.

    The last rare commodity you hyped on about like that was TJ. What a package.

    Sylvia was not up for trading and even so I doubt given the trade outcomes this year we would have got a worthy interest.

    Sylvia has copped some rather unfair rough treatment on this Board. He is not going to be the game busting player we expected him to be back in 2003.

    Its his sixth year this year and hopefully he is fully fit and not modifed fit. I expect him to be a solid footballer for MFC this year and if he can improve his football smarts then he might be something better.

    I was so hoping this would be a picture of Jared Rivers, with arms and legs attached, standing in a vertical position, possibly holding a football... *sigh*

    That's what I was thinking too Jaded

    A fit, important player

    A still picture wont validate that a player is moving freely from the restriction of OP that a good video might do. Here's hoping.

    Yeah, if that's as far as his thighs can stretch no wonder he's always injured

    The first thing I noticed about this picture, though, was the big cricket pitch roller in the background. Man, are we starting early or what?

    Is that Moloney with his back to us, stretching on the floor next to Sylvia?

    6 years already??? Geez, hes a lucky boy.

    ANY other club on earth would have traded the kid by now.

    Did notice Warnock in the picture.

    Do you think they are saying..."mate...what the F@#K is wrong with your brother?"

    To his reply,

    "an early retirement!!"

    Yeah... try not to take it TOO seriously.

    What I meant is that Col, since I've seen him play, does a variety of stretches whenever he stops moving. At bounce-downs, time offs etc etc... Notice that everyone's doing something different in the picture... but Col is doing what I've seen him do more than ANYTHING on a footy field. Stretch. Hard to find that photo a "development" in the ongoing saga of this player, but I didn't want to bring the mood down...

    • 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 return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      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.
