And Sylvia got three weeks on an early guilty plea for belting Scott Selwood.

Just saw that. Ouch!

I didn't see it live, and haven't caught it on the replay. It must have been a cracker. Pity for Col given that he's in career-best touch this season.

I can only assume it is the one from the first quarter that resulted in a free from the middle after a goal. If it is that one, it is certainly not worth 3 weeks or anything at all, Selwood didn't even react apart from looking at the umpire for a free.

This is not what he would want personally. Just when things were turning around onfield he's had a hiccup. It may come back to haunt him. (Ie. Leadership group aspirations). I hope he remains out of trouble off the field in the meantime during his suspension stint.

Sylvia, finally doing his bit for the team! :D

Our chances of winning the next three weeks have just reduced by 10%, plus it means we are forced to make at least one change this week, so Watts can play (hopefully).

He's been in very good form this year, and this little bump in the road is just that, a bump. He'll be back in 3 weeks time and now has 3 weeks less in which to get injured.

My comment was clearly tongue in cheek!

Of course it's not good that he got suspended, and he was playing with fire on Saturday with his aggression.

But there is one good thing about this (losing games aside), and that is Sylvia now learns that aggression should be expressed at the ball, not the man. He has always been a hot head and this year it will cost him 3 games at the height of his form, and maybe even a B&F trophy.

They just showed the Sylvia one on the news, Selwood was on his knees and was struck by Sylvia as he ran past.

I reckon he was unlucky, you could argue he was attempting to punch the ball and copped his head in the process!

Petterd got a fine for his offence. Shame that Glass got away without a video charge :(

Are you serious????????? Brennan gets 1 week with an early guilty plea for an out and out headbutt and Hi-Ho gets 3 weeks for something not really seen.

That does seem inconsistent in your terms Cards. Good point mate.

It would probably do Colin a lot of good to spend a few weeks sitting in the coach's box and learning some of the finer points on the other side of the fence.

You got it wrong 'Kat', thats unfair to Sylvia stating he hit him when down.

I was watching him on replay when I got home from the game, I saw Sylvia running beside Selwood, Selwood had been niggling him & I thought, "No Col", & then Col turned his attention back to Selwood when the camera left them. Play went on & we heard the commentators say the scuffle was on off the play.

Other replays showed the aftermath, when Selwood, hands to his face, going to his knees. Minor contact.

it must have been the angle of the footage shown then, they showed it from when Selwood was already on his knees. And the camera was moving away pretty quickly, so it wasn't a fabulous angle (it was the Channel 10 footage - I'm watching the Channel 7 news now so I'll see it again when the story comes up there). I must admit I didn't see it on the day, I was at the other end of the ground.

Bad news.

This from the article made me laugh a little though.

"Brennan’s original penalty was three matches that could be reduced to two because of his five-year food record."

Wonder is col would have got 2 weeks if he had a five-year food record hehe.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to sta

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los
