sylvia hasnt earned the rite to play seniors or not at all, are you some kind of dimwit, hes strung togother a few good games,and we he does play well hes a gun,but hes far from elite, players like flower dont play reserves.

Good Point. If Colin Sylvia has a Stellar 2010 season, then i will concede he does not play in the seconds before return. Until then he must Earn his spot in the Senior Side.

He & the Team must learn to Respect his position.

In Norm Smith's Day the Seconds did not get Paid. So once in the senior Side players rarely got dropped. Before During & after WW2 money was scarce. League Footballers were reasnoably paid. But the 2's got no more than an orange.

During that period Melbourne won 3 flags in a row. 39-40-41

good post WYL, players like flower, neitz and lyon dont play reserves, sadly the club hasnt had enough of those type of players over the last 3decades, as for fools who think sylvia shouldnt pay his dues, they have no idea.

A week at Casey won't do colin any harm. Infact it should make him more hungry to play well in the seniors.

He Got Caught wacking someone, has missed 4 weeks so he should get a VFL run first off.

Hopefully he won't wack anyone next year, as he will remember the consequences.

I think he has turned the corner.

So YM is right...

But he gave a bloke a roundhouse just for being a Selwood. Ok, maybe that is just cause but...

You're right WYL he should go back and give RR some company and earn back a little respect.

Best way to get a winning Culture into a club is to create Hunger amongst the players. I want Sylvia to play-BUT i Want Colin to EARN it & Thus not give it up.

Maybe from next year he can string 100 games in a row

Now that would be awesome.....

I can't think of one player at the moment on our list that shouldn't do penance @ Casey if they've let the club down. We are trying to create a new discipline & culture amongst the group & that should take precedence over wins actually, whilst we are still at the rebuilding phase @ this point in our rebuild/ladder position.

You're living in fantasy land. You seriously think that if we beat Richmond we will suddenly get a winning culture? Getting more good players to the club creates a winning culture not beating a club that isn't a lot better than us.

I couldn't think of a worse thing for creating members than blowing our chances to recruit the best young kid in the county. It's one of the very few things we have had to look forward to all year.

You don't think getting the top two picks will be good for membership?

Moloney is out. So our midfield consists of Jones, McDonald, Bartram, Petterd, Bruce, Morton and Valenti..... wow! Should be a win for us against Cousins, Cotchin, Delidio and.... whoever else they roll out.

Totally Agree. All Players Should read the Early Chapters of "The Red Fox" when Senior selection was coveted, as it literally meant food for said player & Family was put on the Table

. The "Susso" pay didn't go that far.

Our forward line is very top heavy. AKA West Coast last weekend.

No crumbers, its mark the ball or watch it go back out. Then again really makes our tall forwards accountable.

We are definitly going for it (PP)! Still nervous, the tigers could well think they have this one in the bag and fail to come to play like Port and Sydney.

It might not be true, but that's really disappointing. I really wanted to see him get through the entire season. Without Beamer in there, and also Mclean, we will not win many clearances. Good tanking tactic though I guess.

One form of tanking is not picking the best team to win. If we were picking the ebst team to win, Sylvia would be picked before Jetta

i dont know which team is right..

if you click on the pop up game screen on afl.com it says the bench is:

Int: Jake Spencer, Shane Valenti, Matthew Whelan and Moloney (who is clearly out this week)

if that is true.. Jetta and Morton have also been dropped??

Of course. Plus it gives Jetta another run in the big league which is only helpful for his development in the long term. It's a Win Win. Umm or is that Loss Win? God I'm so confused.

Its a win for 2010 & i will take that Gladly.

Too true WYL.

And for the posters on this thread who have suggested that a string of wins to end this season will do wonders for membership going into next season, seriously, Tom Scully and pick 2 will do more than wonders for our burgeoning membership and supporter base. Just wait and see. This season will soon be an ancient memory, thankfully.

We are officially tanking. Good work DB

It's an insult to the oldest football club on this planet and to DB and the football department to suggest we're tanking.

The three players out this week are all injured. Sylvia let his team down with an undisciplined act that should not have occurred given his past history. A week at Casey is not going to hurt him. It's all about managing your list, instilling discipline and nuturing your players for future success. Nothing to do with tanking whatsoever.

Haven't been winning many anyway. The boys are ranked 16th for clearances AND contested possies.

If we were playing a Final this week would Sylvia have been picked ?

    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
