SEN reporting colin sylvia suspended from the game against the doggies. The announcement says the leadership group is unhappy with his late nights, and he's playing with the scorps this weekend. They've shut up shop too, the announcement said there'd be no further comment.

    G'day all,

    After the good news with getting Hankook as one of our major sponsor's today it seems that it has been ruined by the news that Colin Sylvia has broken team rules. :(

    Here's the link to the story: LEADERSHIP GROUP SUSPENDS COLIN SYLVIA

    Colin Sylvia was having such a good pre-season too! What was he thinking?! :wacko:

    Dammit! You beat me to it with this post.

    Anyways, I reckon that there would be ALOT of people at the MFC angry at Colin at the moment. He needs to "pull his finger out" if he wants to seriously play AFL football.

    Did anyone else assume by the title of the thread that his OP had flared up again?

    Besides, Colin out on a Sunday is hardly big news.

    Like i have said 3 times before on this site, 2009 is the year that "Col Baby" needs to step up. So this is not a good start is it. To all those who say Col has enormous Talent to burn....BRING IT ON.....

    Col obviously thought that Because he had played a "Blinder" Practise Match that gave him the right to get on the sauce. Play a good one in September col, then think about celebrating please. Idiot.

    I doubt there will be anymore more angry at Colin than Colin.

    Lets just hope when he's back in the team he can have a good year - he's more than due.

    Stop Making excuses for the Idiot will you.Colin is on Good Coin & should start to respect his work place. Six Bloody Years he has treated Melbourne like a holiday camp. Not good enough. I hope Our President Tears strips off him.

    yeah colins are real clubman, if only he thought like moloney.

    I was saying that about 3 years ago when we would have got more than a half eaten apple for him.

    Which clubs were chasing OP riddled players who had not done anything yet? :o

    You would have got nothing for him then as you would now.

    Someone may have taken a punt on all his potential that i have been reading about for the last 5 years.

    We gave up a decent pick to get a Meesen, and there have been some big spuds over time to go for high draft picks(Chris Tarrant springs to mind).

    Silly boy, just after he shows some form against the swans (not sure about the lions match) and he breaks team protocol...

    I'm glad they are playing hard ball with him, and whoever else steps out of team protocol, we have to be united...

    what was i thinking when it seemed our club had no dramas like this

    very dissapointed to hear this

  • Quote

    I find myself in agreement with Trag twice in as many days. Whilst my views on Sylvia as a player are known - lacks footy nous, overrated talent, 'just a player' - it's not earth shattering news.

    If anything I'm impressed with the decisions our leadership group are making. Prior to the last 12 months he'd have got away with it.

  • Quote

    To a degree this is a bit of a storm in a teacup scenario but it is an important line that is being drawn here by the club. With a young up and coming list it needs to be shown that rules are nothing if they are not enforced. I think the embarrasment of being dropped is bigger than the actual offence but I hope Sylvia is embarrased because he is going on 24 this year (in age) and he should be using his head more by now.

    The only reason it's an issue is because the headlines will say "Leadership group suspends Sylvia." The reasons for the suspension are irrelevant, regardless of how trivial they are. The media will just dumb the story down to here Sylvia goes again.

    Very disappointing

    I know I'm dreaming but wouldn't it be great if this was a Gary Ablett Jnr moment...

    How on earth could this be a 'Gary Ablett Jnr moment'?

    In what way is it anything like his career to date?

    I just don't see the correlation...

    • 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.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
