Another Sylvia thread

What do we do? Im almost sure its that he doesn't care enough. Ive always held high hopes but im belatedly off the band wagon. Recruited as a midfielder, has his best 2 pre-seasons and does nothing in the midfield. Also does nothing up forward. I guess he could have a run as a back pocket. If that fails he can become a full time night club bunny.

Named in the best according to afl.com. Interesting.

Maybe afl.com are rewarding the Melbourne players who haven't touched the ball by giving them votes, because by logic, if you don't get a touch you can't stuff up :wacko:

I wont be pumping up his tyres anymore.

Man, we were unlucky getting two top 5 picks in the worst draft of all time.

i think we need to try a few different things with Col... perhaps give him a tagging job for a couple of weeks, let him run with some class midfielders to learn how hard he needs to work to play in the midfield... he won't be able to go all day, but give him some spells there and see if he learns a few things...

the other option is to play him on a half back flank... he looked good at half back, when he played there for a little bit last season... put him there and see how he goes...

correct weight... it was a shocking draft... lets hope this years draft isn't as bad

What did they do? Draw names out of a hat or something?

you have got to persist with him.. Will be interesting the next few weeks with players returning at the selection table

I think he should be dropped and bring in Maric. Sylvia is offering nothing at the moment. He needs an extended run in the seconds. If he really wants to play senior football he needs to show the club he has the determination.

Why do we have to persist with him? He is Cupido mark 2. He is lazy, undisciplined and lacks any football smarts aside from a good set of hands. If he does not understand his career is on tenderhooks then he is the dumbest footballer there is. Dump him to Casey I dont care who for and delist him at years end or trade him for whatever you can get.

It just shows yet again your lack of ability in identifying who is a good footballer and who is not.

I think its best if you dont pump up anyone else ever again unless they have at least put together some sort of consistent effort over at least three weeks of football.

Sylvia's commitment to contests is terrible. He got 14 possessions, five marks but hopefully he can have another go next week.

Yeah true heals, he just doesn`t work hard enough, although he did get some clean clearances and did lift a bit since he got reported.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
