Colin, Colin, Colin...


Kiss of Death

Recommended Posts

could go back even further really.

Some plans and potentials just dont come to fruition..thats life. Intelligence is knowing when to cut and run.

He has before him the chance to make ammends. The likelyhood is despite the misgivings of many he will get that chance. How many more does he get ?

We sort of know what we get from Sylvia.. Id. like to see others get similar chances.

Col appears the thirsty type.. Id really prefer hungry ones in our team !!! ;)

Aint that the truth

Brock was in a similar position last year and looks like he has turned it around. Different circumstances but the process and outcome was similar. Lets not forget that he was being alined by many as the next MFC captain not that long ago (myself included) Lets cross our fingers. Lets face it the MFC need Col to take this the right way and respond.

Picture says a thousands words! And i agree.

I'm a self confessed Colin basher but this is a fairly minor issue IMO. Yes, it's unprofessional and brings bad press to the club just after having some really positive press, but he made a mistake and if it was a big one he would've been suspended for the real season.

I'm dissapointed, but not massively angry. Just get it right, Colin!

I see Brock and Col as two VERY different types. I know which I prefer..both in type and ability.

Some seem to think its just another ho-hum minor transgression by that naughty lad. SIATC etc. Im going to go stand with the mob that have had a gutful of this amateur-like display of responsibilty appreciation ( or lack thereof ).

Hes not new to the club..or the job. and he still just doesnt get it... as the song goes:...... perhaps he never will !!!

Quite simply we dont need him..someone go ram that through his thick sconce!! Many are waiting in line, champing at the bit for an opportunity..I say give it to them..and build on that.

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.

That's rubbish. 3 years ago Colin would've been in his 2nd or 3rd year in the system. Colin has always looked to be a player with potential and coaches would've taken the punt. To say Colin Sylvia never had trade value, is wrong.

Even TWallet wrote an article about how Colin Sylvia was the X-factor and could be the difference player. You telling me Twallet or probably half a dozen other coaches wouldn't pay for that potential back then?

I'm not high on Sylvia and think for MFC to be successful Colin should be player 18-26 but to say he never had value is wrong.

It's up to him now. It's up to Colin Sylvia to actually make the decision if he wants to take his career seriously.

I've ran out of support for him, in my house he's on his own.

He broke the team rules... again. It's not a matter of how seriously. He told a lie and he must be punished.

Disappointing to see people continue to give him slack. Because he keeps taking that slack and will continue to do so until he is a shadow.

How many chances does he need - he's not good enough to get away with it (in fact no-one should be). Goodbye.

Exactly.

Not only is Sylvia struggling to make an impact on the field, he is not following team rules off it.

He is not such a precious commodity that he can be afforded any sort of leniency, especially given his priors.

Move him along before he loses whatever small currency he has left in the market.

Iver really got to the point I dont care as to his market value...he's just mightily quickly becoming a list clogger !!

It's not about cutting him slack. His crime was not a sackable offence, and if he plays good football this season, I'm sure your support will resume.

If he doesn't play well this year, his position on the list will be questioned, as should be the case with most of our players.

Bingo, not even 1 week into the season and the trade him talk is starting. WHAT RUBBISH

The facts,

- His trade value before this incident was close to zero,

- Post incident this has not changed much (half of zero is still zero).

- To be trade potential he needs to have a really solid year (now both on and off field). If he does this he is probably more value to us.

lets see where he is at in rnd 20+ before jumping the guns!

That's what I'm saying. I agree with you totally

Forget about bagging Colin. The season has not started. He is a MFC player and we don't want to be like team Eddie. I saw Col in the Sydney game and he was great.

Colin was part of the 2003 draft.

Go Demons!

Who would you have replaced him with?

1 Adam Cooney Western Bulldogs

2 Andrew Walker Carlton

3 Colin Sylvia Melbourne

4 Farren Ray Western Bulldogs

5 Brock McLean Melbourne

6 Kepler Bradley Essendon

7 Kane Tenace Geelong

8 Raphael Clarke St. Kilda

9 David Trotter Kangaroos

10 Ryley Dunn Fremantle

11 Beau Waters West Coast

12 Ryan Murphy Fremantle

13 Brent Stanton Essendon

14 Fergus Watts Adelaide

15 Troy Chaplin Port Adelaide

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.

To get technical, wasn't he suspended for round 1 exactly 12 months and 1 day ago for a similar thing?

:P

*edit* that would be from the day of printing ie today rather than the actual incident

A question, just out of interest, how would have Trapper gone these days, if he had been drafted in the last 5 years.

Yes............ I know, many will say that Trapper has/had far more natural talent than Sylv, but anyone one that saw the former number 16 on the "haunts" of the Nepean Highway, could tell many a salacious story.

No doubt, Sylvia needs to pulls his head in, but I reckon he will deliver to us, more than we hope, when it matters, some day soon.

Yeah, OK, I am.............as John Lennon would say................ a dreamer.

Go Dees

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
