OK guys, after watching Colin Kick goals on the run from 50-55 meters out on the run for the last few months i believe that this is his trademark and i get really excited when i see him with the ball in his hands having a ping for goal from beyond the ark, do you agree with me by saying that this is fast becoming his trademark? also it is fast becoming his weapon, the goal he kicked on the weekend was probably a 60-65 meter kick which split the middle, i would back him with my last $20 to kick the goal on the run!!!

do you agree?

Don't blow your load too quick, he also didn't make the distance with on in the last...and will find it even harder to do from the sidelines.

It is exciting though. I really enjoyed our long goals on the weekend - it's been a while.

Bate's 2 from outside 50 as well as Green's, Jones' and Sylvia's running goals, made us look far more dangerous.

I agree trademark. He's almost at reliable with it.

Yep. Forget which game it was when he had a set shot from (IIRC) 45 and went right back into the centre square for a big run up and belted it through. Should do it from every set shot.

Same. It's been such a long time since we had that many great long goals in a game, was really fantastic. We kicked incredibly straight too, only 2 or 3 behinds to 3/4 time i think.

How good was Green's first goal??? I went bezerk after that, 4 (or was it 5?) bounces, with a man hot on his tail, and the classy finish. And an awesome fist-pumping celbration... shivers down the spine!

The one in the last he let go from well within the centre square.

Agreed. Those long bombs are becoming his specialty. When he came off after kicking the one on the weekend I had tears in my eyes.

Stick it up em Col (that includes all you Demonland whingersl).

That was the last quarter, his goal came in the 2nd, probably fatigue being the issue here, would take a bit of effort to keep launching those type of kicks.

Really important now that he stays on track off the field in the next 3 weeks. Hope he realises how stoked everybody is in the efforts he's been putting in over the past half dozen or so games, how important he is to this team, and how much support he has around the club. OK, he's blown it by lashing out, but that's history now and he needs to show the strength of character to hold it together until he can play again, and then to put up with opponents inevitably trying to get under his skin when he returns. I have a feeling that if he can overcome all this to the end of the year, we may have seen the last of Col's brain snaps.

I agree with your thoughts. I also agree with the term "a leopard never changes it's spots."

The next 3 weeks are crucial to him finishing off the year well.

I guess you cant please everyone.

Im not sure why so many Demon fans are so hard on SYlvia.

He was good in 2008, and has been out best player by a mile in 2009.

He has made a habit of belting through goals from 50+, and it is a joy to watch.

Bit disappointed in Dean Bailey here.

I don't remember him publicly pointing the finger at Cameron Bruce when on three separate occasions on Queens Birthday he was too lazy to chase and apply pressure.

I guess some players have a free pass from public criticism.

Where did I say he hasn't had a good 7 weeks (please note, 7 weeks is half of the season to date).

A "trademark" of kicking goals from 50-55 is an odd one to have, given many in the AFL can do it (including one Matthew Bate). I find it odd that many who have defended Sylvia for so long, not that I have a problem with that, have been so quick to immediately claim he's turned the corner and is our best player.

When getting back into the team, he'd need to make sure he returns to the same form he's been in recently, or else it will end up being a good 1/3 of a season.

I'm not disappointed in Bailey here, I think he's done the right thing.

Bruce on the other hand... but who is to say he hasn't been called out behind closed doors?

You gain nothing as a coach by publicly bemoaning the insipid efforts of one of your more senior players and supposed "leaders".

Keeping tabs 45h, good to see. As long as other players on the list are held just as accountable like your holding Sylvia accountable, I'll be happy.

Ie. There won't be many having a good 1/3 of a season, if you get my drift.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    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 star play

    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
