GIRO 63 Posted August 2, 2011 Posted August 2, 2011 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
Adam The God 30,769 Posted August 2, 2011 Posted August 2, 2011 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?
drdrake 3,203 Posted August 2, 2011 Posted August 2, 2011 It's going to make for an interesting spring. The next post will be Morton is gone
PRIME 41 Posted August 2, 2011 Posted August 2, 2011 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....
Sir Why You Little 37,510 Posted August 2, 2011 Posted August 2, 2011 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.
Maldonboy38 6,450 Posted August 2, 2011 Posted August 2, 2011 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. .
rpfc 29,050 Posted August 2, 2011 Posted August 2, 2011 He is in the top 5 players at the club. Just shows you the issues we have...
Rhino Richards 1,467 Posted August 2, 2011 Posted August 2, 2011 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)
Adam The God 30,769 Posted August 2, 2011 Posted August 2, 2011 I certainly haven't seen him play four quarters this year.
Demons 32 235 Posted August 2, 2011 Posted August 2, 2011 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.
desertfox 9 Posted August 2, 2011 Posted August 2, 2011 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?
Guest Guy Rigoni Posted August 2, 2011 Posted August 2, 2011 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.
Mac7 309 Posted August 2, 2011 Posted August 2, 2011 Wouldn't mind if we talked to WCE about a straight swap (Morton for Gaff) We could also talk to them about maybe Newton for Darling..
beelzebub 23,392 Posted August 2, 2011 Posted August 2, 2011 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.
desertfox 9 Posted August 2, 2011 Posted August 2, 2011 We could also talk to them about maybe Newton for Darling.. Maybe if we chuck in Bate and Bennell too as a sweetener
e25 5 Posted August 2, 2011 Posted August 2, 2011 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.
praha 11,275 Posted August 2, 2011 Posted August 2, 2011 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.
Sir Why You Little 37,510 Posted August 2, 2011 Posted August 2, 2011 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.
Roost It 1,434 Posted August 2, 2011 Posted August 2, 2011 Couldn't give a toss if Sylvia is traded. He's as overrated on this site as Scully is overpaid by GWS
Captain Jack Jordan 32 Posted August 2, 2011 Posted August 2, 2011 i hope for the next 5 weeks most our list is on notice. If these guys want good coin from the MFC, fine.
