Sylvia caught out late drinking. I think it's an overreaction by the club all things considered

Geez, gotta be something more to it doesn't there? Home by midnight, not drunk, no trouble... Doesn't seem like anything out of the ordinary... Was it a night before training or something? Just feels like either something is missing from the story or it's been beat up MASSIVELY by the SA media

I wouldn't consider assaulting one's girlfriend a 'team discipline problem'.

Classic Media Beat up from the Adelaide Advertiser.

The news is 2 weks old!!!!

That's pretty quick for Adelaide considering how far behind they are on average... Must have upgraded their telegraph system

What a beat up!!!!

I love the way they dredge up the past in every article like this, just to reinforce their point that Col must be a ragbag!

Rip the Swans a new one Col!!!!!

No details and no evidence... what a crap peice of reporting. This piece is more of a disgrace for the media than is is for the player!! Jon Ralph = [censored]

Actually, they could just be jealous that Tassie has places that are open til midnight...

First 2 words "Serial Offender" It's actually a HUN article written by Jon Ralph, which makes it even worse.

Just lost all respect for J R over that one.....

seriel offender!?? wtf since when?

I reckon it is great. Publish it the day of the first match to give Col even more reason to get out there and tear Sydney a new one.

The article highlights just how desperate our media is becoming to keep pumping out "controversial stories".

Go Dees!

Small "curfew" misdemeanor = non event! Who was it that wrote an article the other week saying that they should play 6 days a week to ease the need for the media to fill their papers with "fluff"? Well here we have an example of the argument in that article. Sometimes I think these reporters need to get a life.

What a load of complete horseshite

Doesn't sound like there is much in this.

seriel offender!?? wtf since when?

You're kidding me right?

The overreaction from our leadership group should give everyone an insight into the issues that the younger Colin Sylvia had.

Stopping him before he gets into bad habits is what you want.

Well done to the leaders.

Bails, just said on Game day that it was the night before training...not the right thing to do having a few beers night before training....but nothing big....

as for John Ralph..the guy is a hack of monumental proportions

absolutely, you would hope jon ralph is given the silent treatment from the club for the rest of the year after that one

Yes, and I hardly think that a stern talking to and some extra duties is an over-reaction.

Jon Ralph is the only one who over reacted!!!

Exactly WYL. Well done to leadership group on pre-emptive strike. And well done to CS today, played as if to make amends.

This probably answers the question as to why Sylvia is not in the leadership group. Not a massive deal and the punishment was proportional to the crime - but it's not the 100% professionalism you'd expect from a leader.

This is news??

Then again, Charlie Sheen can fart in a jar and it is page 1 news..........

wow. thought Col would have learnt by now, hopefully this is only a one off, and continues his much improved behaviour

This is news??

OMG!! SRSLY? Charie Sheen farted in a jar? I can't believe I haven't heard about this.

'Journalism' these days is getting closer and closer to failing the Turing Test.

Not a major infringement, but none-the-less a timely reminder to Col to toe the line.
