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

Play him till the end of the season and then delist him. If he turns around good for us, if not its not going to affect our season too much. But definitely no more excuses. Put up by years end or good bye.

Of Bailey is going to keep him in, he should be used at Full Forward only.

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.

Jack just choked on his Milo and is asking for a trade as we speak <_<

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.

I'm pretty sure it isn't a hat that they use.

After he got reported he played better, but persist with him. Who do we bring in if he gets weeks? Jurrah? or maybe Robbo (If fit enough).

Posted
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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.
