The draw keeps throwing up tough games against the depleted Scorpions and they continue to stand tall. This week it's Geelong at Skilled Stadium in the curtain raiser to the Cats' game against Adelaide with Brad Ottens making his comeback at full forward. This will certainly test Alex Silvagni's mettle. There will be some tough contests with Jake Spencer battling it out against Geeong's Blake in the ruck.

WTF? i do not understand how Bail can be the cusp of selection in the AFL, and now he finds himself in the VFL "twos"......

WOW! LOL i agree! Thats the most harsh thing i have ever heard!

Glad that Sylvia is being shown some club admonishment, it's pretty much what got him playing good footy in the first place.

I'm also becoming more convinced that they named the wrong player (Bail) last week, I think they meant Hughes.

You would think they meany hughes as he is so unlucky not to have got a game!!! But he would of have to be promoted to be even named as bail was!!

Hughes is still on the rookie list and I'm not sure if we're even able to elevate him, given that we've already got three rookie listers on the senior list (Valenti, McKenzie, Spencer). Bail must've been named on a last man standing basis. The only others left that played were McNamara, Buckley at half fitness and Robbo.

It is laughable that he'd go from emergency to playing in the reserves though.

That's what I thought too. He's still on the rookie list.

I am sure Alex Silvagni will account for himself very well against Ottens. He has taken on high profile AFL forwards before and did very well. Silvagni, Wall ,Faulks and Panozzo are the number 1 defence in the VFL as per ladder. Go Scorps

What's happened to Moore? He was playing well at the start of year and now he has just vanished.

Any updates???

Looks like Sylvia has done enough to get a game next week. Did Spencer and\or Buckley play? If Spencer didn't play you would think that Martin wouldn't be playing. Martin did hurt his knee last week.

LOL.

Th MFC is a joke at the moment.

Sylvia, who was in rampaging in form leading up to his suspension, was sent down to Geelong to play a game starting at 11am with a bunch of hacks.

Absolute disgrace.

I would not blame Colin if he asked for a trade at seasons end.

Wake up Bailey, for christs sake.

LOL.

Normally I'd agree, but for a game we would have some chance to win, why risk him!

Come on, even you can't be that dumb!

3 goals against Richmond tomorrow could be the difference between Scully and no Scully, so just give it a rest.

It actually says a lot about how far he's come that we are now trying to keep him out of the team for tanking reasons!

Edit: if he asked for a trade I'd show him the door. For 5 years we stood by as he wasted our time with self-destructive behaviour, and gave us nothing on the field. He owes us plenty, because many other clubs would have thrown him out on his arse by now. He should be thankful that he still has a career, cop his 'punishment' for being a tool and getting himself suspended and move on. I have no doubt he will (whether you do as well, is another matter).

If it drives Colin away from the club, then it is a disaster of epic proportions.

The kid is on the verge of superstardrom, and he gets sent back to Casey?

Why the hell do McDonald and Bruce not get a run down there?

This is Baileys worst mistake yet.

Read what I wrote about him wanting out.

He has no grounds for despair, none! He has a long way to go before he breaks even with our club.

Im sure he just loved going down to Geelong today, while spuds like Miller, Newton, Bartram and PJ play in the seniors.

He is 23, and a huge part of our future.

Same cant be said for Bruce and McDonald who continue getting senior games despite being useless.

If Sylvia asked for a trade I would support him 100%, cos he has been treated poorly.

Yeah no worries YM, Make him earn him earn his spot back. Do the crime pay the time. Good on you DB pushing home some values, If he doesn't like it he can follow Chris Johnson out the door
