the bloke isnt smart though

from twitter..

"Sorry for the @(Real)_ColSylvia, but someone made a fake 1st time rnd so thought i'd run with this! Excited about what the future may have installed...

When did he tweet this? Maybe earlier in year and he was referring to the next few years with Melbourne?

I think it would be a HUGE loss if Colin went. In fact, if we lose Scully and Sylvia, this year will be a disaster.

For all intensive purposes its the same.

yeah it's one in the same.

This was done mid last year when a few guys set up a fake account for Col on Twitter. He then made his own account. This is whats in the profile (not an actual Tweet) that was done mid last year when set up. So he is talking about his future on Twitter.

Would take a fair bit for Col to leave as he loves Melbourne and is best mates with Brent Moloney.

I wonder if it's a case of keeping either Sylv or Scully. We've reportedly offered Scully $700k/year. So if Scully leaves, that space in the cap is available to make a sizeable offer to Syvia.

You would have to think that the looming advent of Free Agency and its particualr indluence on players of such service as Colin that the club is probably looking to 2 year contracts as a norm.

Everyone I suppose is deserving of a fair shake of the tree and possibly Colin , more than another certain player , could legitimately throw attention to the upcoming CBA.

I can only think the club is smartening up and conrtucting payments a lot more around performance than in the past.

To be honest.. Col's a bit of an enigma. Hes hot hes cold. During many of the games this year when we needed some senior presence Sylvia was amongst the missing.

He put s in some great games, but far too few. He puts in far more Good qtrs than he does entire games..

Hes replacable. He might be just fishing for another good contract at the Dees..or be genuine in starting afresh.

Wouldnt worry me if he went....Just make sure we get someting decent in return, thats all.

Col reminds me a lot of Travis Johnstone. extremely gifted athlete who we constantly look forward to seeing become an elite player. Travis teased us with some fabulous talent -- albeit far too seldom.

Col's development has no doubt been heavily interrupted through injury. But, this year he has been more consistent and I'm hoping we are about to see the full blossoming of what is a rare talent. He's a tough, uncompromising mid-fielder who can take a mark, and knows where the goals are. They don't grow on trees!

A couple of his runs through the middle last week, delivery the ball into the forward 50, had my salivating.

So, yes, I really want him to sign another contract with the Dees. I would hate his best years to be played at another club!

I dont think so. We should be able to accomodate both. Although Sylvia would be on far less coin than Scully.

I don't want Colin to hold us to ransom...

He will take what we can afford or he can leave...

His kicking isn't that great either...

He's not worth that figure now and we don't now if he ever will...

He wasn't smiling at the membership drive in the 6 minutes I saw him there - this means he doesn't love the club...

He has to decide now whether he is with us, or with the terrorists...

Now that you mention it, I recall seeing a photo of Colin and Tom together the other day (was it on Twitter?), and guess what... they were both smiling. Hmmmmmmmm...

Was this post tongue in cheek??? Still have trouble telling the difference.

In my humble opinion, Col is one of the better (top 5) kicks at the club.

Smiling at the membership drive WTF? this surely has to be a joke, maybe you shouldn't have asked him to sign your chest.

im guessing it was drolly tongue in cheek.!!

Do players have any loyalty? Col is great and he's a key to our future, but he's been with us for a long time and been very up and down. He's finally got his head screwed on and his playing some consistant good footy. Yet just as he starts showing something he could leave because our offer isn't good enough, you cant play 1 full season of decent footy and expect a contract to set you up for life.

So here were are being blackmailed again like with Cameron Bruce...

It was TOC.

All those things have been said about Tom Scully.

That was the balance of my point.

In what way is holding out to see what is on offer, "blackmail"? Perhaps the club should be considering delisting Davey and Green, because that's exactly what they did.

I reckon Col would be favourite for our B&F this year. He has finally put a full season together after much injury and is 25 and is about to hit his straps. Logic says we should be doing everything we can to keep him. He is tough, quick, can jump, can take a mark & kick goals from outside 50.

I am wary though of the "Travis Johnstone" example of playing blinding years in the final year of their contract and then becoming complacent until the next contract comes around. At the moment though I reckon Col's been building consistency over the last 3 years and has really improved and matured. I think he'll only get better from here and would be trying to secure him. It would be interesting to see what he was worth on the trade table though but at this stage I think we need to keep the harder-bodied midfielders to protect the kids as they develop.

Therees a pattern.. Bruce did this..Green did this.. Davey did this.. all suffered post contract hangovers !!

Yeah good point. Sad really.

What next ... "oh there all just a bunch of stupid footballers" (which I personally dont agree with) ... the path is becoming very clear.

Isn't there an emoticons rule or something in operation, either I am as smart as a plank, or some of the dross that gets posted makes its difficult to differentiate between TIC and serious opinion.

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.
