Rumours floating around radio TV and internet about Slyvia possibly going north to Sydney/ GWS and I think we all know now that Scully is gone losing these two who would both be top 5 at the club would be huge loss to the MFC.

This would set us back even further getting draft picks was good a few years ago but we can’t lose any hard experienced players for more skinny 18 year olds

I personally want players that are going to win us games now not playing Casey for 3-4 years developing

Give Slyvia the money he deserves $ 450 a year for 3 years its not to much MFC get it done !!

    GWS can't take both. We would need to trade one of them

    I don't want either to leave and I don't believe either will. That said, there is no way Sylvia is in our top 5. He plays one great 10 minute burst every 6 to 7 games. He's been on the list since '04 and still cannot garner consistency. If he could play the level of that Hawthorn game two years ago, he'd be an A-grader for sure, but I don't think it's in his psychological make up. Perhaps a hardarse coach will make him? Who knows?

    It's going to make for an interesting spring. The next post will be Morton is gone

    I think Sylvia is right up there in the best players just look at the 2011 stats.

    1st in Tackles

    1st in Inside 50

    3rd in Goals

    3rd in Disposals

    gotta be in top 5....

    Once the Dust settles...We will know who wants to go and who wants to fight....

    Is Colin Sylvia worth $450k per annum???

    Sure wasn't last saturday....Show the club & supporters what you are worth Colin.....DO IT.

    I have got to the stage now of...whoever wants to go...just go. No use trying to hold players whose hearts are elsewhere.

    Definite top 5 Melbourne player. Great when he is switched on and has been good this year. Injuries and inconsistency have dogged his career. However, he has never been known for leadership qualities (which is our greatest need at the moment)and would consider trading him for a 23 - 25 yo player who has proven leadership qualities.

    He is in the top 5 players at the club.

    Just shows you the issues we have...

  • Quote

    If Sylvia is a "definite top 5" player then it might indicate where some of the problems are. He has been no better than B to C grade this year.

    Edit: Just saw rpfc's post. Good post. B)

    I certainly haven't seen him play four quarters this year.

  • Quote

    Trade him to Sydney like he wants to be and get something worthy....

    Draft picks and Jesse White / Sam Reid / 1st rounder

    No one deserves to ask for more money after being apart of a team that gets a coach sacked, and this is coming me, Col is in my top 3 fav players.

  • Quote

    Sylvia is not worth 450K a year. If he played like he's worth it then fine but he aint.

    If he wants to go, fine then bugger off up to GWS.

    Wouldn't mind if we talked to WCE about a straight swap (Morton for Gaff) :)

    Has he ever finished in the top 3 for the best and fairest?

  • Quote

    Hell would freeze over before a Morton would ever pull on a Weagles jumper again. Col would dominate in a team like West Coast, probably wishful thinking but maybe Col + 1st rounder would get WC thinking about letting Gaff go back to Vic.

    We could also talk to them about maybe Newton for Darling..

  • Quote

    Only want those that want to play for Melbourne, only those that want to play all the minutes of all 4 qtrs of each and every game. Im fine if he doesnt . Get someone else.

    Tmk.. Sylvia has never made it to the top 3 of the Bluey.

    If he goes , he goes.

    Time for a real good look at the list again this year.

    Maybe if we chuck in Bate and Bennell too as a sweetener :)

  • Quote

    Sylvia and a 2nd round pick for Gaff would be fair.

    I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for the Eagles to accept the deal, though.

  • Quote

    I am convinced that no player is safe. If Sylvia wants to go, he can, but we will need to trade him.

    If Scully goes, it will be indicative of major issues at the club, all but proving issues surrounding Schwab's position at the club.

  • Quote

    i hope for the next 5 weeks most our list is on notice.

    If these guys want good coin from the MFC, fine.

    But they must give us sustained application....If last saturday was any sort of Revolt....well then point made...You killed a coaches job...Feel Good everybody.

    Now move on and play some hard Football.

    Scully will go because of Ca$h incentives....If he does we must just trade aggressively during trade week.

    Couldn't give a toss if Sylvia is traded. He's as overrated on this site as Scully is overpaid by GWS

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
