Anybody out there know what the status of Colin Sylvia's contract is? Not to be a nervous (look out for theft by the Gold Coast)Nellie, but is he a demon for next year?

From rumours Col "likes" the ladies......so now with 100 games under his belt for the red and blue I say "Colin.....go spread your seed far and wide"...........

But seriously, think of his improvement over the 100 games. Now think what we will be like when Scully, Trengove, Watts, Grimes, Morton, McKensie, Tapscott, Blease (fingers crossed), Frawely, Garland, Bennell, Wonna, Jurrah, Pettard, Giz (you can add a load more names here) all get around the 80-100 game mark.......

Go you demons.

Well done Col for this milestone....your playing your best footy hopefully your next 100 games will get better and better.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Colin Sylvia has more talent in that pustule they removed from his big toe than 90% of people to ever play the game...

Hang on... are you saying that he now has no talent as it was all contained in that "pustule they removed from his big toe"?? ;-)

Oddly enough, I was thinking something similar. Not that I'm terribly interested in the love-life of a footballer (unless I happen to take up football, in which case I will be quite interested in my own love life which will then be that of a footballer), but looking at the benefit some other clubs have derived from the father-son rule, I would love to see us reap the rewards down the track for the strong list we have built. It would be amazing to see another team with the names Green, Bruce, McDonald, Davey and Sylvia running out. Give it 20-25 years and we could well see just that.

I'm always surprised every time I see Col interviewed. For some reason I always expect him to sound like a meathead, but he's very well spoken. It doesn't fit with how I expect him to sound.

Spot on Nasher - I had a good little chat to him at training on Friday night at the Gabba. Is a top bloke, genuine and as you say...very well spoken.

Can't wait to see his next 100 games - I'm tipping a Brownlow somewhere in there too!

Congrats Col!

Yes, they could be referred to as "The Sons of Satan"

Our best player. Not our most consistent obviously, but his best is well above anyone elses.

It's funny watching him in the members when he's out injured, he stops and talks to absolutely everyone, looks like a politician with his big grin and handshake greeting the public - only much more sincere.

That said, I hope I never see it again.

He'll demolish Richmond.

'grats.

He isnt a star yet. But if he continues the Brisbane form he will be.

One of the most pertinant points you have ever made.

He has wracked up possessions after possessions, kicked critical goals and assisted many in his past games this year. Despite missing 6 games for the season, he has been a massive stand out.

I believe he is one of our most important player running through the midfield, as his blitzing speed, strength, agility and passing have been phenomenal this year.

David Schwarz on Sunday said he thinks Colin can win a Brownlow Medal. I believe with an uninterrupted season, being apart of an up and coming side like Melbourne whom are bound to be a competitive and top side in the years to come, he has shown the potential that he can

At 26 years of age do we think he has the ability/time to do so?

Thoughts?

Well he doesn't turn 25 until November, so he's got time on his side.

He's always had the ability, but he was never able display that consistently until last year. Not only has he got his body right, but he's also got his attitude right and he should be commended for that. He'll be a very important player over the next 5 years.

I called this last year, and I reckon he's definitely the right sort of player to win a Brownlow... powerful, explosive even; racks up the touches, gets his own ball; kicks goals.

At the very least he'll end up with an AA selection or 2.

I thought he could have won it this year, but for injury.

His game is exactly the type that attracts brownlow votes, high possession and goals from the midfield.

    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

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
