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?

October's early this year :rolleyes:

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...

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)

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.

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?

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..

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.

Posted

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

Posted

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.

Posted

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.

Posted

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

    MATCH SIM: Friday 7th February 2025

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p

    TRAINING: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti
